I will be eligible for social security in a couple of weeks. Despite being nowhere near retirement, I am considering starting it because there is a non-zero chance I will outlive the program.

@atpfm Austin got 3 inches of sleet Saturday night. Woke up to ice everywhere. Nobody owns any snow shovels or ice scrapers. After I fell down trying to go down my front stairs, I used a garden hoe to hack a path down. There is still random ice pockets on the ground today (Thursday) but the roads are clear.

Due to winter weather, the Elephant Room will be closed 1/26, and the Austin Jazz Band's performance has been cancelled.

@atpfm my biggest Tahoe interface complaint is moving the playback controls in Music.app from the top (where there is still space for it) to floating above the list where I can’t do anything with the last track displayed.

I am really having trouble seeing the difference between Iraq invading Kuwait in 1990 and the US invading Venezuela in 2025.
