…you're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view. — Obi-Wan Kenobi

Late to the party, but I just got a new gadget: the 12.9” iPad Pro Magic Keyboard. Loving it so far. Though may need stands to raise up my iMacs, since it obscures the bottom third of the cams.

Westworld TV series 📺 #MediaMonday

2020-05-04 · MediaMonday

An excellent dystopian science fiction Western series. Season 3 has just finished. A rare appointment TV show for us.

On the homestead blog: this afternoon I dug up some smallish self-seeded fir trees from behind the shop, and transplanted them around that area, and in a couple of places by the pond. 🌲

Rory is sleeping in her crate with the door open now, and Paladin likes to visit her in the morning. Here is a GIF of him patting her, which she is conflicted about; she enjoys touches, but doesn’t enjoy claw scratches. 🐕🐈

Cat whiskers are so fascinating. Little sensors poking out from their cheeks, the single one below the ear, and others. Usually don’t notice them, but so important to the cat. 🐈

Today’s moment of cuteness: apparently it’s National Tabby Day. Almost all of our pet and feral cats have been or are tabbies. Here are a couple new pictures of the oldest of our current cats, Pippin. 🐈

For today’s throwback post: a former cat, Piwhacket, avidly watching a whale screensaver on my old iMac G4 in 2002. #ThrowbackThursday

The answer to the What’s It Wednesday question from earlier: it’s part of our propane gas tank. I record the propane level in a spreadsheet every Wednesday, to monitor when we need a refill. #WhatsItWednesday

Several people enjoyed playing What’s It Wednesday last week, so let’s try another one. Here’s a picture. What do you think it is? I mean the whole assemblage. I’ll reveal the answer later today. #WhatsItWednesday
