I'll be glad to take a box of winter. Our winter here in Dallas seems to have forgotten what it was doing and wandered off. Next Wednesday, one forecast calls for 32C.

First condition should be justice for all war crimes committed against Ukraine and its people. When Russia is ready to talk about THAT, then we can have "peace talks." Until then, it is just more international dog and pony shows.

Russia's war is three wars:
1. Invaders in trenches;
2. Serial killers, murdering civilians outside of combat zones using drones, missiles, and bombs, as in this case;
3. Monsters in basements, engaging in terror, torture, rape, and murder in occupied territories.
All to feed Russian bloodlust.

They're not "bad," they're just dangerous. It's not like the planes want to kill people. I'm not a bad person either, but you don't want me to be piloting your airplane.

I am jealous of your bookstores, and of the empty spaces on your bookshelves. Amazon is a wonderful thing for buying books. Boundless selection, effortless purchasing, e-books that take no room on the shelf, but I haven't been in a bookstore, except at Christmas, for many years.

Thank you for checking in. Here in Dallas, spring is visiting already, 28C today. If the forecasts are to be believed, it will be heading your way around the weekend. We will get back to sensible February temps and you will finally start to thaw. Hoping that 2026 will start being different.

Russian far east saying "please notice me." When there's 6000km of Russian crazy between you and Moscow, you gotta do stuff or be forgotten.

One of my happy memories from recent days is of when you discovered that making #warcoffee using your power bank only consumed 5% of its charge. I continue to be amazed by the powers of your infrastructure wizards. Thanks for checking in.

The truck has a driver. When his children ask, "What did you do in the war, daddy?" he will answer, "I drove a truck that carried away the broken pieces of peoples homes." That is one of the sad stories. Perhaps soon, he will drive a truck to bring new windows.
