I usually follow back if I see proof of life. :)

Being human is just constant admin. Register this, fill out that, contact the business or person. I long to just exist outside of all of the noise. Put my shoes on and just walk the fields and Downs. Survey the ocean and stand in the salty breeze. Lay in a meadow and splash in a stream. Howl in the moonlight and weep against a tree. Make friends with a badger. Form an alliance with the birds. Go to war against the snakes. Create a new religion with the dirt folk. Lose my mind and smile at the sun as I fly away to a lost continent. Transubstantiate into a being of pure energy and beam myself throughout the cosmos. Drift past the observable universe and discover a new place where matter and physics no longer exist. Join with the universe and become god. Instead I have to do my stupid little emails.

@tirrimas @ai6yr the lowest here in Houston is forecast as 22 so, not as bad. It’s the power grid that worries me the most.

I’m also mourning the decimation of NASA to the current regime.

@ai6yr thanks. The ball is in Ercots court, which should worry everyone in #texas.

Hmm, that looks very much like a polar vortex this weekend. Wonder if Texas will get another freeze event, and if their preparations from the last one will work.
(hope no one is breaking up their furniture and burning it to stay alive again...)

@ai6yr I’m testing my generator and filling up the cars and gas cans to be safe.

We have a portable propane heater that is appropriate for indoor use and all we have to do is make sure our water and food supply is appropriate.

She’s always so dramatic with her floof

#Ketzeleh #Cats #CatsOfMastodon #Floof #Cat

A grey and white kitty with a big floofy ruff sitting next to the kitchen window. She is lit from the side, her face half in shadows. Her ruff tufts out in all directions. Her whiskers and eye whiskers are long and dramatic too.

Open source cellular is an interesting topic. I think such a setup has been used before at Burning Man here in the states. I wouldn't be surprised if it hasn't cropped up at the CCC before.
