My phone wants to restart because it has new time zones.

After some investigation, we're going to say that the warehouse failed to put the missing bags out for delivery so there's a bit of a delay on that coffee, but the stuff that did arrive is correct.

Only a third of one of my coffee orders showed up today.

How to make a delicious ice cream:

Step 1. Name it after a forest creature.

It's time for the cat to tell me about her day.

@Gargron Right, that's probably not the method you'd use.

@Gargron There are statistical methods dating back to World War 2 that can likely be applied. Mathematicians came up with much better estimates of things like tank production compared with spies trying to figure out the same thing.

SCA is still sending out email advertising the sold out workshop I'm teaching. We're doing a 2nd one a month later but I don't think registration for that one is available yet.

It looks like a company might be sending me a free prototype of their next thing to get design validation. I'm not going to get more specific than that because I don't want to spoil their product launch, but I'm excited to see what they've come up with. I think it's a thing that we chatted about a couple years ago.

Laundry is in the wash, dinner is in the oven, hanging out with the cat.

Today's boxes of coffee going in the mail previously contained raisins (10 pounds) and packets of artificial sweetener (1000).

@stux Didn't find it. Installed the software on a server myself.

Looks like I get another trip to the post office tomorrow.

Can gas prices crash again? My tank is almost empty again.

You can't charge a convenience fee without a CON.

Writing lots of personal checks this month. License plate renewal (went up), water bill (had yet another fee tacked onto it), property tax. Anybody who wants to charge a "convenience fee" for taking payment in a way that ought to be cheaper and easier for them gets stuck with paper checks in the mail.
