The conspiracy theories are wild. Unless you’re a billionaire, and sometimes not even then, you don’t have that kind of reach.

They’re ridiculously sweet in the courts. Their police handlers always get mad at me, because I get the dogs to play with me from across the room with minor facial expressions.

What it messed up is my ApplePay. I don’t have any Amazon accounts.

The AWS outage made it impossible to pay for parking outside the courthouse this morning.

Amazon should not have that kind of influence.

My longest lived great grandmother was blind from 86-94, because of macular degeneration in the 1940’s. Several aunts and uncles in that line are currently in their mid to late eighties, and partly blind in one case. It’s good to know there are better treatments.

Today's portrait of the day is Olivia somehow looking both glamorous and spooky on a foggy morning in the cemetary.

A woman stands in amongst the gravestone on a hill in a cemetary. She wears a floor length red dress and her arms rest at her sides.

NASA could do it so much better.

Anyone who knows how tiny—and comparatively inexpensive—some of the chemical rocket probes are would just give everything back to NASA.

Beware of accounts that appear to be new and are nothing but reposts, mostly of a political nature. They’re spying on us, and they might even be bots.

Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,
So do our minutes hasten to their end;
Each changing place with that which goes before,
In sequent toil all forwards do contend.
