Three cats on an ottoman. The back two, Marcus and Jason, black and brown marble tabbies are on heating pads. The closest in center is Aaron, a grey and white tuxedo cat, pillowtopping a green sofa cushion.

Aaron, a gray and white tuxedo cat, lies on his back asleep on top of an orange patterned quilt covering a bed. He looks like a person in a cat suit.

Sitting at the Chicago airport and logging into BlueSky in several days is a trip. So much β€œNOW what happened?” to try and decipher

We resort to β€œI am so smart, S-M-R-T!” a lot

Aaron, a grey and white tuxedo tabby cat, lies sleeping on top of a bed made with a multicolored quilt. Behind him are variety of throw pillows. He is quite peaceful.

It really is a James Tiptree story come to life, huh. World's richest man uses technology to guarantee male heir, heir uses technology to become daughter anyway, man goes insane and tries to destroy civilization. 70s reviewers say "cool scifi but isn't the feminist message a little heavy-handed?"

Fresh, free apples, speedily delivered? What’s not to like?

Yep, even aside from the question of whether we get a ton of snow, this weekend will be rough outside. The National Weather Service is talking temps in the single digits, with wind chills between -5 and -15 on Sat. right here on the coastal plain.

Oh, I don’t. I think they’ll get pettier, that’s for sure.

View out our apartment window towards the Fenway.  Trees everywhere all covered in snow. In the bottom right you can see the D line train chugging along.

Snowfall has and is falling here in the Boston area. Damned winter wonderland out there.

A large brick building with two huge googly eyes attached to it. There’s an awning with the street number and a car going by out front.

Someone has attached giant googly eyes to a building right across from the Common. 151 Tremont is watching you.

Been tossed out the library, due to a bomb threat (not from me, but someone unhappy that classes have resumed). Whee!

Narrator knew what their audience wanted. Reportedly the Danes were very particular about keeping clean.

Happy New Year!

Managed to avoid stepping in the cat barf this morning in the dark, so this year's already looking hopeful!

No, but we definitely need to do something about the current one.
