Done Since 2021-12-19

Today is Charles Babbage's birthday. Also Boxing Day, but I haven't written a song about that. Yesterday was my first Christmas without Colleen. I'm not going to try to summarize the week this time.

The YD held a Solstice party Tuesday, so I finally got to see her new house. (Not her cat, though; she never came out of hiding.) After spending several hours looking unsuccessfully for someplace in Seattle to buy a home COVID test kit, it turned out that she had a spare. All the major drug stores have websites that claimed to have them in stock. They lied. I didn't bother calling the places whose websites said they were out of stock.

Link of the week: the James Webb Space Telescope currently on its way to L2. Meanwhile,The Antarctic Is Signaling Big Climate Trouble. But we already knew that.
