It’s still snowing. The morning is starting with the light, uhm, lightening. I’m going to stay home, drink tea, cook, learn stuff, start editing the next book, and avoid the winter and the creatures therein.

The Gathering: The three kittens are experiencing their first snow. At first, they were confused, then started attacking it, then once they realized it wasn’t going to attack or was dangerous they settled down and started having fun. #feral #cats

Greetings. It’s a snowy morning. One inch (2.54 cm). Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Plan for tomorrow: — Stay inside — Start editing “To Preserve Power” — Read — Hide from the snow (if it comes).

“Betaken”. I should use the word more often. #writing

If Apple were smart, they’d use Vision Pro the way they use EarPods. Use Vision Pro to fix sight problems the way they use Ear Pods as hearing aids. Of course, if the Vision Pro saw fish, you could call it a herring aid. #apple #health

Be consciously grateful. #life #success

Do you smile at strangers? Or do you walk by staring at the ground, straight ahead, or at your phone? Why don’t you smile at strangers? Do you believe they will lash out at you for smiling? Or do you believe they are not worthy of your smile? Smile! #life

Salad ordered. My supplication to the health gods.

If it snows tomorrow, I shall spend the day at home. If we get a lot of snow, I’ll stay home until it melts. If it doesn’t snow, I’ll do the same thing, but there won’t be snow to melt.

Do you have a catch phrase at home? At work? Are they the same or different?

There are a lot of ads for “Uber Eats”. Uber must really be hungry. #marketing
