A good report card from the dentist;

A covid booster vaccine while I can, and before my big summer gatherings;

A neighbor wants to talk about electricity suppliers and home solar

Timeline cleanse: these best buds

Bringing this over from @chaplainjohn.medsky.social:

"I'm going to keep saying this until somebody listens: We do NOT need Joe Rogan or Fox News on the Left.

We need a Fred Rogers, a LeVar Burton. There is no weakness to be found in this clip, despite the usual ideas.

Just raw vulnerability, acceptance, and the power of Love."

Had a rare backyard visitor recently morning. It didn't stay long after it spotted me hiding next to a bush to get the photo lol!

The groundhog also known as a woodchuck is the largest member of the squirrel family. We see it once or twice a year in the backyard.

Reaffirmed the family maxim that sometimes the best money spent is a 25¢ phone call to the person who knows the answer to your question. Today it was a Zoom, not a phone call, and there's been some adjusting for inflation, but the principle still holds.

Presented for your amusement and derision: an article on the houseofcompanies.io website discussing the Dutch equivalent of the US Social Security Number -- the Burgerservicenummer, or BSN. Whatever process was used to scrape the web and generate this #slop conflated that with the Bachelor of Science Nursing (also "BSN") degree. Did you know that registering your address with municipal authorities in the Netherlands can lower patient mortality? Now you do!

The people who deliver babies and deal with the complications when things go wrong think pregnant women should get COVID shots.

Went to a sushi place for dinner, and gave my cats a special treat afterwards;

I got to explain to a trainee at work today why the "book" way to do something isn't always my way (and to make sure they know the book way for an upcoming evaluation);

Customers at work told me they would be sad if I retired any time soon.
