I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

That’s great news about your son and his GF, Laura!

I’m so happy to see more people getting vaccinated.

Who is Joss Whedon, anyway, and can anybody prove it?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That is a conspiracy theory I am ready to entertain

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

What I want to know is who is this Heather Horton and has she been living in a cave? Who looks at the last four years regarding Joss and goes "What a catch!"?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I have to say, I do not want my inhaler communicating with any device, thank you very much, so I am going to avoid downloading the creepy tracking app.

I was looking for a new electric toothbrush, and there were several with Bluetooth. What would an electric toothbrush even be communicating? How much tooth data is there?

I have a new genealogy client, so that's fun. And I've got an eye doctor appointment tomorrow, which means I'll finally be able to see again.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

The CDC new guidance is pissing me off. Already two employees have popped by my office saying “so, no more masks, right?“. And one of those people is UNVACCINATED!!! So I explained it all, but I know this is happening everywhere. There is no good way, outside of New York State to know if someone is vaccinated or not.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

We have tourists in town and a lot of them have been going around unmasked, even before this latest announcement. I'm keeping the mask on while I'm outside, among other people, just to be safe.

And, in semi-related news, it seems that MS Teams may be worse than Zoom. We've been having ISSUES. sigh ....

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

inhaler; it has built-in sensors that record how often you use the inhaler and can even assess the volume of your inhalation. Then the inhaler can send that information via bluetooth to a phone app.

THIS IS HOW YOU GET SKYNET, PEOPLE. Not everything needs to be a smart thing!
