Thur. Feb. 5, 2026 – two wongs make a white

Cool, but maybe warmer later? The national forecast says Houston, and most of the country, will be clear for the next several days. Could be all the heat rises and it’s cold but clear. Could be something else. I’m going for cold and clear. Maybe mid 60s? We’ll see.

Yesterday was a mess. Didn’t get any sleep, so had to nap most of the morning. Then other stuff got in my way. I did get a couple of small things done, and made dinner, so there was that.

Today I’ve got plans to do a pickup and a venue visit, so I need to get moving this morning. After that, maybe the load from storage that didn’t happen yesterday? We’ll see.

In any case, SOMETHING will get started, worked on, or, if the universe is feeling kindly, finished.

I just can’t predict what.

So stack as that’s easiest, and get stuck in.

    Thursday. Good morning!

    The false spring of yesterday hasn’t hung on into today. It is cold and grey, but at least not raining.

    A colleague called in sick, so I am off to replace her in an all-day meeting. Joy. Ah, well. Talk among yourselves.

    I’ve never gone to reddit for anything.

    Reddit isn’t bad for some things. The nice thing is: you can choose specific communities. So, for example, I subscribe to the specifically Swiss groups, and also to a couple about science or space. This is a lot nicer than X, where everything comes mixed together in one giant feed.

    The bad thing about reddit is all the rest. Most of it is incredibly woke and left. In most groups, any sort of right-leaning comment will be met with a lot of hate, or just plain deleted. This is obviously a self-reinforcing internet bubble, because anyone conservative just gives up and goes away. So the lefties believe that they are the giant majority.

    Cold this morning.  39F.   Clear sky though so that part was right.  I still think we might warm into the 60sF.

    Coffee is delicious.   Breakfast is almost ready.   Kids are moving.
