Warm and damp. Got up into the 80s yesterday but never cleared up. Threatened to rain, and indeed I saw rain in the clouds over various parts of town, but I never got any where I was. Today should be similar but may have a better chance of clear sky.
Yesterday I took advantage of the ‘no rain’ state (hard to say ‘dry’ in Houston) and picked up a metal cabinet. It’s your typical office tall cabinet with shelves inside. It should be a good match for the one I already have at the BOL. I would like the majority of my food to be behind the closed cabinet doors for a number of reasons, among them protection from depredation, visual tidiness in the garage, and not least, concealment from casual viewers. Did I mention ‘keep the rats off it”? ANYWAY…
Did my pickup. Couldn’t do my drop off. Will explore other avenues. Would like to get a couple of bins together today and drop them off at the other auctioneer. Nothing stopping me but me.
That’s the plan for today anyway, go through some stuff, drop off if I can. Pick up what I can.
We’ll see…
stack it up…

Dilbert reborn.
This isn’t the first time in the strip that The Garbageman has been required to step in to “rebirth” Dilbert. That gag goes back to the early days of the strip.

Disney reissued one which was getting traction on the collector market that I played as a kid. It went out of print for ~ 40 years, but I saw new copies in a gift shop on property for sale last year in one vlogger’s channel on YouTube.
The Mouse is desperate for cash. Their entire box office is done already this year unless “The Haunted Mansion” works.

Prison? Fauci needs to be put on trial like the Nazis with a capital penalty if something is found to be wrong with the jabs and evidence proves he covered up the problems to advance the mRNA agenda.

My Medic has a free pdf “The Stay Alive Guide” which might be of benefit to some. Add it to your e-kit bag:
https://mymedic.com/pages/freestayaliveguide
A juvenile moose has been hanging about our backyard for the last couple days. Someone(s) has been feeding him and he has zero fear for humans. I haven’t been down to feed or check the new kits because I don’t want to get stomped and moose are notoriously unpredictable and mean.
I’d be mean too if I had to slog through 3’-4’ of snow to dine on twigs and branches.
Last night when I opened the walkout basement door he immediately came trotting up to the door. Ears pricked forward, eyes open wide, head up, not pillaged. I interpreted this as “hey lady – got a hand out? Feeling a might peckish!”
While I could chase him off, that’s hazing. Hazing wildlife gets one in all kinds of trouble. Our home is surrounded by windows, decent lot size for town but neighbors are still close by. Hazing is also ill advised because it makes an already cranky beast more irritable. A few years back a dude got stomped sneaking past a moose who’d been pelted with snow balls earlier in the day. Moose was holding onto that cranky and attacked the next human who got close enough.
I don’t want that on me.
So. Rabbits still have hay, I can see it on my cameras. Their pellets are undoubtedly out. Water is fine, I can hear it flowing and see them drinking on camera. Some of the kits are venturing from the dropped nest boxes. I have a raised nest box, and the camera angle shifted so I won’t necessarily know if kits in that box get out. I hope not, as they won’t be able to get back in and doe is physically and developmentally unable to put them back in.
I do not currently see the moose. He may be behind the rabbitry, hiding in the trees, or on the side of the house. I hope he has moved on. I will figure out a moose deterrent system as I don’t want this juvenile to decide our yard is cozy for years to come.
@jenny, be careful!

“The Horror: Perry Rhodan #66 Paperback” by William Voltz, translated by Wendayne Ackerman
https://www.amazon.com/Horror-Perry-Rhodan-66/dp/4411660490?tag=ttgnet-20/
Book number sixty-six of a series of one hundred and thirty-six space opera books in English. The original German books, actually pamphlets, number in the thousands. The English books started with two translated German stories per book translated by Wendayne Ackerman and transitioned to one story per book with the sixth book. And then they transition back to two stories in book #109/110. The Ace publisher dropped out at #118, so Forrest and Wendayne Ackerman published books #119 to #136 in pamphlets before stopping in 1978. The German books were written from 1961 to present time, having sold two billion copies and even recently been rebooted again. I read the well printed and well bound book published by Ace in 1975 that I had to be very careful with due to age. I bought an almost complete box of Perry Rhodans a decade or two ago on ebay that I am finally getting to since I lost my original Perry Rhodans in The Great Flood of 1989. In fact, I now own book #1 to book #106, plus the Atlan books.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perry_Rhodan
BTW, this is actually book number 74 of the German pamphlets written in 1963. There is a very good explanation of the plot in German on the Perrypedia German website of all of the PR books. There is automatic Google translation available for English, Spanish, Dutch, Japanese, French, and Portuguese.
https://www.perrypedia.de/wiki/Das_Grauen
In this alternate universe, USSF Major Perry Rhodan and his three fellow astronauts blasted off in a three stage rocket to the Moon in 1971. The first stage of the rocket was chemical, the second and third stages were nuclear. After crashing on the Moon due to a strange radio interference, they discover a massive crashed alien spaceship with an aged male scientist (Khrest), a female commander (Thora), and a crew of 500. It has been over sixty-nine years since then and the Solar Empire has flourished with tens of millions of people and many spaceships headquartered in the Gobi desert, the city of Terrania. Perry Rhodan has been elected by the people of Earth to be the World Administrator and keep them from being taken over by the robot administrator of Arkon.
A Gazelle spaceship, the Fauna, is tasked to pick up a mutant named Goldstein from the planet Eppan. Goldstein was to evaluate the populace of Eppan for negative influence from the Arkonide Robot Regent pertaining to the Solarian Empire. An Eppan named Mataal was their contact for Goldstein but he has figured out their mission so they grab him too. On the way back to Earth, strange things start happening and then the crew starts going into total paralysis.
Two observations:
1. Forrest Ackerman should have put two or three of the translated stories in each book. Having two stories in the first five books worked out well. Just having one story in the book is too short and would never allow the translated books to catch up to the German originals.
2. Anyone liking Perry Rhodan and wanting a more up to date story should read the totally awesome “Mutineer’s Moon” Dahak series of three books by David Weber.

Thanks. I have a healthy respect for moose. They’re fast and mean and powerful. They kick all directions with great range. Goofy countenance not withstanding, they are far deadlier to urbanites than bears.
I watched the moose amble off. Quickly went down and replenished the rabbits. Also turned the standalone nest box on it’s side to accommodate the kits growing mobility.
Water barrel needs a refresh. I’ll do that by hand this time – filling with a hose is simple but takes 20 minutes and I don’t want the moose to interrupt. Doing by hand is more effort, takes longer, but can be easily interrupted.
Dogs snuffled up all the good smells and snacked on the apparently delectable nuggets moose deposited in the yard. No kisses, thank you.

Oh, and, for the record, a Tampa Cuban sandwich has salami whereas a Miami Cuban does not. Which is the “pure” sandwich is a subject of much debate between West Tampa and Little Havana.
I’m not a fan of the sandwich since I don’t like mustard, but the gator didn’t seem to mind whenever I saw someone out there feeding him.
Stack-and-rank and now title games. It is as if Google wants to get rid of people.
I don’t play title games after the tolling company. Amazingly, one guy in my former group still accepts the word “Junior” in his title despite an MIT undergrad degree, CS Masters, and 10 years at KBR contracting at NASA followed by nearly three years at the current gig.
https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/06/google-tells-employees-that-fewer-of-them-will-get-promotions-to-senior-roles.html
The job won’t say “Senior”, but they will expect “Senior” level work.
At the Death Star, the response from management was literally, “I don’t care if they call me ‘Piss Boy’ as long as they pay me,” but everyone above my level yearned to get the “Distinguished Member of Technical Staff” title for the resume next to the name “XXX Labs”.
That opens a few doors.
What do they use instead of salami?
And what kind of salami? The Oscar Mayer stuff is so full of HFCS as to be inedible greasy Vienna Sausage stuff if one is not drunk. Heck, all of the OM stuff is a polluted with HFCS puree of mystery except for the hard salami.
When I was a kid, the OM salami was actual meat, didn’t want to think about what parts of the cow but that’s sausage anyway. I used to pick out the peppercorns and eat them. There would be ten or fifteen peppercorns per slice. Because black pepper is great stuff. Now you get a token peppercorn per slice.
Yeah. White bread, mayo on one side, yellow mustard on the other and a slice of bologna or salami. Wrapped in waxed paper and you had to wait until lunch time. If Mom was feeling fancy and had a bit extra in the budget, you got Olive Loaf. But mostly, just peanut butter, the cheap stuff, none of that Jif or Skippy sugar loaded stuff. Or even Peter Pan. And a nickle for a half pint of milk.

Dogs.
RIght now it’s our new puppy. Unfortunately our go-to remedy (For-Bid) hasn’t worked with him so we’ve had to be diligent with scooping. Hopefully he grows out of it soon.
Nothing. Miami just omits it.
A good place will use high quality salami. Even Publix (think HEB equivalent in Florida) will not skimp.
In either city, the roast pork is the key ingredient. Watch Jon Favreau’s “Chef” — he gets it right filming John Leguizamo making the roast. Favreau also had some amazing optical effects in that movie which made the pre-pandemic line at Versailles in Little Havana disappear.
I prefer the roast pork (Puerco Asado) by itself with the bread buttered/toasted and used to sop up the juices left on the plate, but to each their own.
>> And what kind of salami?
The kind that’s been hanging in the window of the Italian deli for 6 months.

So, over here dealing with the Sell the House thing….. the realtor sends a link to Authentsign. Fill out the form and walla! There’s a red arrow that follows you down the page as you fill the fields. Red Arrow overlays the field name.
Under my name and the next box is something, I figured it’s some kind of stupid captcha Pick Out Tall Buildings thing so I type in my name. Which is in the previous field.
Poor page design. It wanted my SS.
Then they want a copy of my d/l. Is the one I have already scanned good enough? Oh no. That expired last year. Uh, I’m not buying beer at the HEB here, the only thing different is the expiration date. I could photoshop a different date, ain’t hard to do.
But on the plus side? Even though Win11 is a total *itch about letting me toss files to the Desktop from other computers on my LAN, as in “no, not a valid share” the Lexmark printer scans and drops into Window’s Fax and Scan program just fine. Yes, I have put off seeing if I could scan to my PC. Because trying to figure it out would give me an ulcer and a raging headache.
Anyway. The buyer is poking around and they like what they see so far.
The county says the house is 1476 sq ft. The home inspector says 1133 sq ft. They are both correct. Perhaps. The house is round. County measured the slab. Home inspector is measuring inside the house. A cinder block is 8×16 inches. Take off eight inches all the way around, that seems about right. Pi are square and all that. Take out the thickness of the interior walls, and yep.
Real estate guy said I might need to drive down to sign stuff in front of a Notary. “Or we can FedEx the paperwork but that can get expensive”. Yeah, I’ll pay the postage vs 6+ hours from here to Edinburg, then just finding where I need to go, and then “oh, we’re running behind” and sitting for a couple of hours and then 6+ hours back home.
Beyond the cost of fuel, through San Antonio on 281 during rush hour is not a lot of fun. Twice in one day? Nope.

My kindle alerted me that there are a couple of new books in rather old (they could drink if human!) SF series out:
I am reading a 1992 book now, also old enough to buy a beer. “The Forever King” by Molly Cochran and Warren Murphy. First of a trilogy of King Arthur reincarnated as a 10 year boy. “King Arthur has returned, reincarnated as a 10-year-old boy who finds a miraculous cup—a vessel once known as the Holy Grail. With the help of the cup, an alcoholic ex-FBI agent, and a British pensioner who knows more than he admits, Arthur the boy must find a way to become Arthur the King once more.”

You, Mom, Dad, and three sisters ? That must have been a blast. Did they put you into a cupboard ? And round houses do not apportion into rooms very well from what I have seen of yurts.
I used to eat occasionally at the Round Barn Restaurant in Champaign, IL. The “history” printed on the menu stated that one of the reasons they made barns round was to confound the tax assessors. You could easily prove that a square with sides equal to the diameter was much larger than the actual area of the barn (thus completely unfair), and you could lead them instead to measure the inscribed square as the area, thus understating it by half, and reducing your taxes accordingly.
This required stupid and/or ignorant public servants. In Illinois, this was not hard to achieve. The overall situation has not improved with the passage of time, although their calculation of area might have improved a bit.
Fixed it for you.
Leaving tomorrow for Texas. My first stop is in Arkansas for some sleep. I am not driving 16 hours in one sitting. Then on Friday arrive in Round Rock for two nights, then San Antonio for two nights. Leave SA for a stop at Boerne to visit MIL’s grave before arriving in Bryan for three nights with a day visit to Hempstead. Then on to Pearland for one night, back up to Conroe for a couple of nights, then on to Alvin for a short visit with the ex-wife of FIL (deceased), who now lives in a nursing home. Stop in Biloxi for the night after leaving Alvin, then go on to Atlanta to visit friends for the night. Then finally home.
Probably close to 3K miles of driving. GPS is programmed with all the stops. WAZE app is loaded on the cell phone. I really don’t like I-40 west of Memphis. A significant amount of truck traffic. One truck passing another truck doing almost identical speed. When it takes 15 miles for one truck to pass another truck, with two miles of open highway in front of them, both of the drivers are cretins.
Pick up I-40 in Harriman and head east taking I-840 around Nashville. Those road junctions on I-40 in Nashville are brutal with multiple freeways merging and exiting. One has to get over three lanes in the space of about a mile in really heavy traffic almost all the time and I want to avoid that scenario. Pick up I-40 west of Nashville and then jump off I-40 to I-30 in Little Rock Arkansas and the traffic is much better. I-30 to Greeneville and on to Dallas. Will probably take I-635 to I-20 to get around Dallas. A longer journey but will probably save some time. Drop on to I-35E to I-35 to Round Rock. Should arrive sometime Friday afternoon.
Leaving the area is the Sam Houston Tollway. DV veteran tags should avoid having to pay any toll. Then catch I-10 east connecting to I-110 for the night in Biloxi. From Biloxi take I-110 to I-10 to catch I-65 north to Montgomery where I drop on to I-85 until I get to I-285 north to take me to the stop for the night.
Only 6 hours from Biloxi to Atlanta. I figure to leave Alvin about noon and Biloxi is a 7-hour drive when stops are included. Going further to Atlanta is just too long a day.

Our country is the laughing stock of the World. Absolutely nuts. Transwomen ARE NOT women. They are gay men.
SxSW and Spring Break for a lot of the schools starts this weekend. Austin proper is something to avoid in general, but especially this weekend if you can.
We are unavailable this weekend. I won’t say more, but the house is not going to sit empty.
At some point, we will have to finish our Tennessee trip, but I have eight days of vacation left after this month not counting the ‘dead’ week between Christmas and New Years which is the traditional company holiday.
After hearing my in-laws “Last Train to (Literally) Clarksville” experience last year, I think we’ll avoid that part of the country around Christmas.
This is what I have in my will: “Mortician, cut off my stuff and have me buried as a trans to woman. Then I can go to heaven as an in between.”

Moose is back.
I found the web form to report his bold behavior. I hit submit and less than 10 minutes later a call from ADFG. Sure, come on by and evaluate. At my doorstep in 15 minutes. Spent a few minutes coaxing the moose the way people do when they’re being idjits.
Moose cleverly declined the temptation. This is good for the moose. Yielding to temptation would have moved him closer to cross hairs.
I was flabbergasted and discombobulated at the rapid response. I lacked the presence of mind to request advice for ADFG approved methods for discouraging the cranky sod from hanging in my backyard. I know methods to drive him off but don’t want to be arrested or charged or fined.
I tried playing the bagpipes on the back step. He cared not, though dogs protested vociferously. Pfft. No appreciation for music.
Anyway.
Moose has made himself a nice bed in front of the rabbitry. All the rabbit feed is inaccessible to the moose so I’m not contributing to his delinquency.

Ah, ADFG = Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Did they bring a bazooka ?
I imagine when somebody complains, they get out there quick to prevent an incident. After, moose are dangerous. But sounds like they left with the moose. That was not a solution.
Speaking of danger, the neighbor’s dog found a baby rabbit in the their backyard. The neighbor relocated the bunny to the front yard. Where, a hawk sitting on the power poles in our neighborhood grabbed it a few minutes later.
@SteveF
I continue to admire your creativity.
@lynn
Yes sir. And is it wrong that I burst out laughing at the outcome for the bunny. Poor wretch, nobody wants to be food. But oh dear, that’s humans in a nutshell. Good intentions are no shield from wreaking havoc.
I’m good with what ADFG did. Any woods he ought to be hanging out in are under 4’ of snow. Encouraging him from my yard would not have improved his temperament and he would simply shuffle off to a yard with fewer obstacles to eating and relaxing. But now with a crankier outlook on life, increasing the risk of any human foolhardy or unlucky enough to stumble across him. Urban moose.
It’s documented and ADFG took it seriously enough to send two guys out within 30 minutes. That’s impressive. Normally it’s crickets.
I absolutely adore that in this community, someone can make a side comment “I tried playing the bagpipes on the back step. ”
And it’s entirely believable.

Time for suit for damages.
The example changes are small, but unauthorized. I haven’t found a list, yet, but it seems like the changes have been made to e-books only. Still, in the short term there may be a spike in value for the original versions of altered books, if not the whole series based on fears that the rot could continue. Some enterprising person will eBay a set of “unexpurgated” versions soon.
For those of you that read The Hardy Boys back in the day, you may not be aware that publisher Grosset and Dunlap made extensive changes to the series after 1959. That is one reason that later printings of the originals, even without dustjackets, are sought after by collectors.
