A miserable day – rainy, overcast, sunless, cold. Our high was 54˚F, and it is now 53˚F. I did just next to nothing.

The afternoon's comfort movie was Denis Villeneuve's Blade Runner 2049 (2017). I've been signing a lot of eBay books. These days, signing books seems very strange. How many times have I signed my name over the past quarter century? How many of those signatures will survive the next twenty-five years? I leave you with 20 lbs. of Lydia, and keep in mind that the average mass of an adult bobcat ( Lynx rufus ) is only 19 lbs. Later Tater Beans, Aunt Beast 1:15 p.m.
