I will not be checking here as much for a while.
I have enjoyed interacting here more than I ever expected. But some life stuff required me to choose what I can cut to make some room in my time and energy.
Hang in there. Whatever it is your doing, you're doing a great job.

I finally started watching #ahsoka.
It's wonderful. I love it. Even if it's over-serious.
But that's because I've watched all The Clone Wars and all of Rebels. There is a fair amount of content that would make little sense if one skipped, in particular, the final story arc in Rebels.
I'm going to guess it's not got a huge base of fans. I'm glad they made it, but I'm kind of surprised.

We left two healthy senior pups behind in Seattle yesterday so we could visit in-laws in western NY. The last visit was six years ago.
The walker visited at 3 PM and saw something was wrong. He called his boss. His boss called us. We gave a go to rush our girl to the animal hospital. There were many hard phone calls.
The hospital called at about 6. She barely survived intubation. Surviving abdominal surgery was a stretch.
We okayed euthanasia sobbing in a parking lot.

Imagine the plight of the federal employees driving him around in the hot summer sun in eastern Washington so he could write 30 songs about the Columbia River project in 30 days. AC didn't exist back then.
It didn't change much for me about what he created but it was one more lesson to not hang anything on individual famous people.
(And, just to be clear, he was a miles better human being than Jobs.)

Kind of moot, I know, since laptops barely existed then. But desktops are still a big market. Now it's Linux slowly coming up to fill the space Microsoft and Apple are leaving behind.

The Punisher is interesting in the sense of seeing Marvel capture the Id of a particular part of the US. He was the anxiety of white America post-Vietnam poured into a comic character. Ready made for the Reagan Era.
(See also Mike Grell's Jon Sable for an independent label and more precisely sculpted version).
But he was the sketch. I suspect even the worst of these creations is not paranoid enough for today's right wing.

The people you want are across the street and up three floors - the staff who support the Mayor and the Council and maybe also across town at the County Executive. We would never, I mean NEVER see a question like that come our way.
After those folks decide whether to annex neighborhoods and whether to serve them with transit, then we are directed to come up with designs for the street, storm drains, water pipes, and such.
