@mcc I must have a lot of wrenches, because everything looks nuts to me right now.

@kristiedegaris A friend just came back from Peru, sent me several pictures of Sacsayhuamán, including one with a person standing in front, to show size. What an achievement! And I've shared pics with you of the amazing walls in Chaco Canyon. Humans did amazing things with stone. (Not aliens.)

@spiegelmama I would not call that outfit the bare minimum! Excellent Medusa hat.

So in 2019, before the pandemic, one of the office holiday party gifts was a roll of rainbow tape (just tape that was an endless rainbow).

It was great. We put it everywhere—on mugs in the kitchen, on staplers, whatever. I also put it on my office nameplate.

The pandemic came, we abandoned the office for TWO WHOLE YEARS. The mugs got washed, the stapler disappeared . . . but my nameplate remained.

So, we just went into a small restaurant that only has about eight tables. Something seemed a bit off. The host came up to us and said they had a momentary power outage, and even though the power had come back on, the Wifi didn't, which means their ordering/payment system was off line, so they couldn't seat anyone.

I said, "What if I paid in cash?"

"We can't open the cash drawer."

"What if I paid the exact amount?"

"We still can't place orders. We can't communicate with the kitchen."
