Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.

I’m also really worried about what’s going to come out tonight and what will happen.

The Tyre Nichols video?

This week has sucked.

I mean, I was heartened by JZ's news, but otherwise yes.

Yes, that was a bright spot.

Thrive to spite them

M is getting experimental for dinner. I'm slightly skeptical but his mom is horrified.

Apparently for dinner we are having BBQ turkey burgers. But not ground turkey meat. He is mixing leftover turkey meat with ground beef and cooking that. I don't know if he thinks that is what a turkey burger actually is or he is just getting creative. He has a bottle of bbq sauce that he is going to doctor up with maple syrup and Chipotle powder. And then saute some onions to go on top. With a brioche bun I picked up.

Hopefully this will be better than the chicken and rice casserole that featured apples and mango. That probably could have gone ok if it hadn't been swimming in cream of mushroom soup .

Thrive to spite them

Verdict is leftover thanksgiving turkey is actually pretty good chopped up and mixed in with beef for hamburgers. So now you know.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Thanks for the article link, Consuela.

Indeed heartened by JZ treatment plan and actually how she is treated.

My favorite uncle came by to visit and take M and I to dinner last night. For living in Oregon, I see him a lot.

Most else has blown.
