Hello Bryan. I forgot about Pi Day this year. I just have a lot going on. Still in Hospital. The repairs to the Units only started this week. Oh well. I hope you and everyone is doing well & life is good. Good luck, to us all.

In reply to hipparchia. This year they went back to 16 dog teams from 14, so there are more puppies running, but 2,3,and 4-year-old dogs should be in top shape. I would guess it is related to the large dog habit of gulping their food instead of chewing leading blockages. No thoroughbred teams this year. I'm surprised at the great weather this year

i’ve been pulling for dallas seavey, kind of, just because of the new record it would mean. other than that the deaths (including the moose, evil as they are, sometimes) have put me off sled dog racing again.

also, i didn’t read every detail on every team but was there an all-siberian team this year? if so, i missed it.

in spite of the downside, i thank you for once again keeping us posted!

Oz has been assaulted with some really nasty weather for weeks now. Yesterday it was Spring here and today we are back in Winter. Fortunately the sand absorbs the rain from the above average rainfall, unless you were dumb enough to put down topsoil and sod for a lawn.

I assumed you were on sick call again and would show up again when you were ready.

MT Green isn’t worth the time lost reading about her. The Republicans are destroying their Party from the inside, even without Trump. Trump is sucking up all of the political donations and throwing them at lawyers to save himself while the party is starved for cash.

Hi Bryan,

Was offline for awhile. In Hospital again (still? Not sure of I told you my unit was flooded by a sudden severe storm a few days after I got home in Jan.

Got a new Agent a week ago, or the old one, actually. Repair work hasn’t even started! 🙁

Was catching up on twitter & mastodon. Someone posted this about MTG proving she qualifies for a lifetime Moron Award!

I hope you are well and taking time for yourself. 🙂

In reply to hipparchia. My younger brother was a DEC project manager who lived in Hong Kong for several years. The celebration closes Asia for more than a week as everyone returns to their family village/town and clogs all forms of transit. In the West Coast computer business you had to know when it was and stockpile before hand or you wouldn't have machines to sell or parts to fix them. It didn't hurt to put up some decorations to attract the contents of the "red envelops"

In reply to hipparchia. So I understand from comments on Mastodon.

happy wood dragon new year to you too, and thank you for this. it’s something i used to keep up with but have let slip these days (also just now noticed the gretchen whitmer quote in the sidebar — i have really been self-absorbed these past few years).

I haven’t forgotten you. I’m herding cats …. dealing with tenants who don’t understand the concept of a hard freeze in Florida. Local stores don’t carry winter necessaries so you have to order plumbing supplies and hope they arrive.
