46 years after the C4P I have a PC that's 2,000 faster, has 2 million times the memory, 11 million times the storage, and cost 1/4 as much. #computers

Happy May Day!

Pisok visits lots of our neighbors. Here's another pic of him in someone else's yard. #cats

Me: "Okay Google, turn off the, um... Oh heck." Google: "I couldn't find a device called 'heck.' Please set up your device in the Google Home app." #googlehome

He finally ventured all the way to the top shelf. #cats

The transition to renewable energy is being driven by economics now, which makes it unstoppable

Me: "Hey Google, turn off the office light." Google: "Which one did you mean ... Office1 or Office2?" Me: "Both." Google: (turns off TV)

Nobel Peace Prize winner: works for democracy in Venezuela. DJT: declares war on Venezuela

I couldn't be there, but this is downtown Miami. #nokings

Almost 250 years. Can we keep it going?

A procrastinator's dream -- one more year of Windows 10 security updates while you figure out which version of Linux to migrate to. Just go to settings/updates and security/windows updates and look for the link. It's free.

When I was a kid and heard it said that "every cloud has a silver lining," I pictured it like the lining inside a coat, maybe made of satin. Later, when I realized what it meant, I thought it should be called a silver outlining.

I don't like it when there's a hurricane on my radar.

A cat's life ...

I haven't posted a cat photo recently, so here's a portrait:

What's in a name?

The 4th is in distress.

Lost my credit card. Thought I left it in a shirt pocket so I checked the ones in the dryer. Nothing. Then looked in the dryer one more time... It's nice and clean now.

I think we should run this up one of the new flag poles at the White House

This was me sitting at the Torch of Friendship back in 2022 holding a sign that says No War With Iran. It was a bad idea then and it's a bad idea now. As wars always are.

I destroyed the government and all I got was this lousy key

My veteran to remember: This is my dad in about 1943-44. He was trying to grow a mustache to make himself look older because he was about to ship overseas as a second lieutenant in charge of a platoon in the 4th Armored Infantry. He also still dreamed of becoming a concert pianist.

Dinner and jazz at the Fish House tonight - Chris Santiago and company.

Take it from Superman...

Here's what's happening with the lawsuit opposing the threat to houses of worship by ICE mailchi.mp/fgcquaker/vi...

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." "So help you God?" "Well...I don't know..."

It's entirely possible that this is the same model as the first one I saw at my granparents' house when I was about 3. It's a Dumont that began sales in 1947. Dumont was also an early but now nearly forgotten broadcast network in the Northeast. "Hey kids -- what time is it?"

My new speakers took the place of a pair of table lamps, so I came up with this alternative...

O Canada!
