Similar age, I came home from “The Changeling” and from the driveway heard water running in the house next door - which had been empty for months. If you’ve seen the movie, you’ll know….

Turned out a pipe had burst.

Yikes! At first I thought those were your boots sticking out, and I wondered ‘how on earth is she posting from inside there?’ 😬

I see you have a bird feeder - Coopers Hawks frequently feed on small birds (usually smaller than pigeons). I once saw one take a sparrow from a shrub.

Is this your gentle way of telling me that we’re never going to be able to recreate dinosaurs from bits of amber?

I am gobsmacked by the fact that this potential problem and solution occurred to me, a mildly tech-savvy academic in the humanities, but did not occur to the United States Department of Justice.

That doesn’t mean that I’m brilliant. It means that they are incompetent. 3/3

I tested the plan by highlighting redacted text in the PDF, copying it, and pasting it into a new MSW document. Sure enough, it appeared in full. Nothing was hidden.

So, I deleted the text instead, replacing it with the word ‘redacted’. 2/3
