census.gov wants me to create an account and I have to wonder what they think the threat model is to justify 5 security questions and a 12 character password.

Put the new license plate sticker on. Apparently I never did that last year. I think it arrived in a rainy stretch and I forgot about it once things dried out.

Eating dinner with Dad's cat.

I just like when I can look at a code base and tell where it's doing something.

Oh dear, it looks like I really am building a new web app in C++.

I can't figure out how to train my cat to give back massages.

I should make a compilation album of noises my cat makes.

Daily #cat visit.

Today is stressful.

If you're saying something like coffee shouldn't taste like coffee, please do everybody a favor and stop pretending you want to be in the coffee business. Apply yourself to something you enjoy rather than try to ruin things for people with taste.

People are talking about iced coffee again, but here's how you know your iced coffee is good: it's not a seasonal drink.

Every time I teach a class that includes a cupping session I find at least one person who sets those up in about the least efficient way possible. I should probably just point people to this video in the pre-class materials. https://youtu.be/CE70njcI9_o

This is the cat I'm visiting after work until my parents decide to come home. She prefers to stay in her own home rather than just move in with someone.

While it's important that I do the after work cat visits, most of the time the cat will just want to look at me from across the room rather than expect any kind of interaction. That might be a good time to get some writing done.

When I travel, my cat moves in with my sister because I have an easy going cat who wants 24/7 cuddles. When my parents travel, my sister and I visit their cat at different times because their cat doesn't like to change houses and acts like a jerk toward my cat.

My parents are going on a road trip starting tomorrow so I took them out for dinner. Well, they had dinner. I had a banana split.

At a nearby table there was a kid saying that when she grew up she wanted to be either "a drama queen or a dance trooper", but she hadn't decided which yet.
