I have two cats. The orange and white one sheds a lot more than the solid black one.

Maybe black fur is less noticeable?

Mrs Wu is away again this weekend, went to see the littlest (not so little) Wu. So you know what that means......

He's going to dream about his partying youth and mourn the march of age.

Fortunately for you, it is currently the year 1999 of the Kibyratic Era.

The Kibyratic Era (epoch of 25 CE) was used in an ancient Greek city called Kibyra. I'm not sure how exactly they used the epoch, but if we treat 25 CE as year 0, then it is indeed currently 1999 in that era. The new year day would probably occur sometime in October if the people back then used the lunisolar Macedonian Calendar.

There should be a prize for a truly classic bit of real trivia tossed into randomly miscellaneous blither-blather.

I told AI to make a picture of a man drinking a glass of water.

This is the result:



There is a coffee chain in Korea called The Venti. This is the picture on one of their coffee sleeves:



That guy is gonna spill coffee on his shirt...

I think the orange and white one has a bit longer and shaggier fur. They are also from completely different litters and mamas so it makes sense for one to shed more than the other.

My fitbit watch died last night. There's no need to send flowers but prayers for its soul are welcome.
