Okay look. *I* don't use #Signal ( and same for #Telegram ), because I don't want to give my telephone number to anyone except family and close friends. I have enough personal contacts that do use them so that they'd be personally useful if I didn't have that unbreakable obstacle. But I don't object to others choosing such end-to-end encrypted messengers over messaging apps suc…

Submission seems slow tonight. I do have my laptop here, but I won’t touch it unless I need to.

One of the worst prisons in the country
-
I’m positive I couldn’t see THIS prison from the highway, but I did see an old prison near the #LA - #MS border. From “the time when they knew how to punish people”.
I’ve never beed incarcerated, but my impression is that modern US prisons are still horrible, but much less so than they used to be.

22:15, but 1 1/2 year old #GS3 is still not asleep.
-
Missed #sonOne’s #videochat call today, so we still haven’t connected since June.
-
We took #GS3 to see goats, chickens, and a pumpkin patch. He’s tired now, but not sleeping during his delayed nap. I can hear him calling “Oh, no!” from his room.

From NWSFortWorth https://twitter.com/NWSFortWorth on Twitter: A cold front will make its way into the region early Monday morning. No chance of precipitation, just blustery winds and cooler temperatures this time around. Monday afternoon holds an elevated fire danger threat for areas west of I-35. #dfwwx #ctxwx #txwx https://twitter.com/NWSFortWorth/status/1315396760378900480/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/68250

Gassed up the Chevy Volt for the first time since March.
-
I won’t get to see #sonOne or #GD2 near their birthdays this year, thanks to #COVID-19.
-
Mark called to tell #GS3 hello. K and S asked me to send a photo of my grandson, but I’m not about to ask my daughter-in-law for permission.

I’ve been binge-watching “Psych” ... also playing with children’s blocks, and other toys.

From NobelPrize https://twitter.com/NobelPrize on Twitter: Hunger is used as a weapon. Immediately following the announcement of this year's Nobel Peace Prize, awarded to @WFP, Berit Reiss-Andersen, Chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, was interviewed by freelance journalist Stig Arild Pettersen about the decision. #NobelPrize https://twitter.com/NobelPrize/status/1314530578734211072/video/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/68237

I am really, really excited to bust out the telescope this weekend and look at Mars.

@devurandom MS-DOS was initially a clone of CP/M.
CP/M got renamed as DR-DOS.
Microsoft then made Windows break under DR-DOS.

Saw a big 48 pack of the brand of TP my mom likes, so I bought it. Also got Duplo blocks as my gift to #GS3 (like giant Lego blocks for younger children). #sonTwo and his wife are excited about my visit to #MO. They've already made plans for me to return in a couple of months. Let #sonOne know I'll be at his brother's place, three hours away. Now we'll have to schedule a day…
-
@clacke That's good to know. It means he'll still be able to use the remaining Duplo blocks when he's older and gets regular Lego blocks.
The puppy is a chewer, so there might not be a lot left by then.
-
There's also Megablocks, the precursor to Duplo. And there are also Micro Megablocks, the same size as LEGO. The kits for Micro Megablocks were much better than the LEGO kits, making slightly larger models but using only standard bricks. The LEGO models were smaller, depending on many custom pieces specific to the kit, which were pretty useless for general brick construction.

@bobjonkman @clacke
I remember a large block kit that seemed not-a-big-name-brand at the time when my thirtysomethings were young.
