        This also makes it violently contrary, at its very core, to the
    conservative view that wild, feral diversity is a problem to be
    controlled, that change is dangerous, that evolution is a myth, that
    everything should remain as fixed and stable as possible because
    everything was somehow better or clearer in the past, even though it
    absolutely goddamn wasn't. 
        To put it simply, to fear evolution and change is to fear the very
    nature of God. It's just sort of silly. 
        We are never going to run out. We are never going to survey it all,
    measure and classify and lock it down. By the time we do, it will be time
    to start all over again, because everything will have changed again. It
    just never stops. I mean, thank God.

  & attempted to bring up dorsai.  Bad disk (/v) and its usual network card
    isn't there.  So scratch that.
  * bed ~11:30

This business of not going out for walks really has to stop. I -- wisely, I think -- decided not to go out in the Black Friday crowds and traffic; I spent the entire day sitting at home, watching mystery videos with Colleen and Chaos, puttering occasionally, and collecting a goodly number of links. I also warmed up some leftover turkey and stuffing for dinner, and made broccoli with cheese sauce. There was some of everything left, so I'm assuming that people were satisfied.

In the evening I attempted to bring up Dorsai, my old desktop system, only to be reminded that one partition of its disk is bad, and that the ethernet card has been cannibalized. I still want to get some software off it, so I'll mount the drive externally, which is what I determined was needed back when I retired the system in the first place.

I've been sleeping late. Apparently I need about 7 hours; I do not like this, but probably shouldn't try to do anything about it beyond trying to get to bed by 11:30.

I'm very flattered that you put my stuffing recipe in your list of links! (The community's "name" is food_snobbery, but it comes up looking weird when one links to it. I'll try to remember to take it up with the community manager...)
