My photo library has made a sweet album for me titled “Pet Friends 2020.” Every single photo is of my neighbor’s cat. I have a dog.

I’m experimenting with Amethyst for the first time in quite a while. I’m curious if there are other good tiling WMs for Mac OS that folks really like these days? Any recommendations?

I got coffee and breakfast with my sister, at Ogden’s Kaffee Mercantile yesterday morning. It’s a lovely spot in the neighborhood where I grew up.

I currently have open browser tabs to Instapaper, Calibre, and the reMarkable 2. I should probably go for a walk.

A situation yesterday prompted me to recall this video, which I return to once in a while when I am low on joy. The rube goldberg machine version of this is probably more famous, but this marching band version of This Too Shall Pass fills a certain critical part of my heart in a way that I can’t really explain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJKythlXAIY

I appear to have installed emacs again.

Sunset last night was pretty good. We’ve had dust from the west desert blown in for the last few days, so this clearing evening of fresh, breezy and cool air was welcome.

It was a beautiful morning to be on the water.

Backblaze entered this “freeze state” a couple of weeks ago and their tools to figure out what to do about it are sort of baffling. I’m supposed to compare my files to my backup state? All of them? How? For an indispensable piece of software, its usability is sometimes so disappointing.
