Yep. Forgot to hit Publish last night.

Not much to say today. Very quiet in general. Nothing going on at work, at least not that I had anything to do with. All dev stuff. My Replacement didn’t need anything or at least didn’t ping me about anything so maybe they were beating through it on their own. I love that My Replacement likes to do that. Also that they ask if they don’t understand some bit of idiomatic jargon. I have been there 18 years and I still do not understand all of the idiomatic jargon.

It is a strange autumn with not a whole lot of brilliant color, at least not on The Planet Ann Arbor. Mouse and the racc are up north. They stayed at the Hoton Lake Group Home for a couple nights, where they eventually found the teakettle. In a jointly owned cabin things get moved around. Not so much at the moomincabin because the owners are few and not there frequently and we close it for the winter. Well, except *I* was there for two months last summer but I keep things *mostly* in the same places The Commander did. Not that we don’t ever “lose” things but it’s a small place and we eventually find them. The Hoton Lake cabin/cottage is a modern house with modern utilities and stays open year round. A lot of people visit frequently throughout the year and stuff gets moved around.

Anyway, mouse and the racc hiked locally (Mason Tract) while they were staying at Hoton Lake and are now camping. Quite a bit more color at their camping site.

And that’s about the end of my boring bunch of blather for today. We porterized ourselves at Dexter’s Pub tonight and I won’t talk too much about the political stuff I didn’t really want to talk about but did. I could talk about many things but all I will say is that demolishing a whole wing of the White House does not in any way shape or form compare to converting a tennis court to a basketball court. Nope. I don’t think big demolition equipment was needed for that. Somebody stop him!

P.S. Trying out “My Replacement” instead of “new co-worker”. I hope he will *be* my replacement when I ride off into the sunset in the not too distant future. I have not pulled the plug yet so best wishes are not yet in order. I still have some work to do.
