Do you know what a wheel of cheese with a small portable MP3 player in front with cables sticking out of it and a mini USB cord behind it looks like on an X-Ray machine?

The TSA halted everyone going through security and started freaking out.

A good laugh was had after, but... yeah. Cheese.

When I was living in Madison (Wisconsin, US, for those that might not be from near there) I was flying to see family for the holidays one year. Naturally, I brought cheese with me to give to family and friends. And, as a techie, I carried a lot of electronics in my backpack as well.

My Note20 Ultra Whizbang edition is still in my hands as I reply. The only reasons I have for upgrading are that I need a phone with up-to-date security updates.... and my battery is starting to show its age. So... five years?

Truth be told, his condition is getting worse. The attacks on his brother are now a daily occurrence and getting more vicious - he bit him this weekend.

He's now yowling at the top of his lungs several times per day now for no obvious reason.

He's going to be okay... right?

Look at my fifteen year old kitten. He is so attached to me that he cries when he isn't in the same room as me. He figured out how to open a doorknob as a young cat so he could sleep in bed with me!

He'll be away from his human for sixteen days, fourteen of which in isolation.

Weirdly, here in Europe, my dishwasher actually has a built-in water softener!

Once I found out about that, it made a huge difference in my dishwashing. To be fair, I was already using the cheap powdered dishwasher detergent and I live in 220Vland so I don't have the hot water dilemma... but yeah!
