   My wife of 48 years can turn a binary reply into an 19th century stump speech.

   You know, I’m sure there is a young twit at GoComics who’s laughing their fanny off over having a comic aimed at old geezers and geezettes that is text-heavy display at half the size of the other comics so we have to squint with our face 6 inches from the screen to read it. Grumble, grumble, get off my lawn!

   If the parents are programmers then the kid’s first word are much more likely to be “^%##&*” and “^&%$#” since we spend a lot of time being surprised and frustrated by mistakes in our programs.

   This sorta happened to my wife. She had been a university chemistry professor but for altruistic reasons rather difficult to understand decided to try teaching high school and took a job in the worst school in the area. The kids harassed her unmercifully, including throwing spitwads every time she turned her back to write on the dry erase board. The school administrators set up a video camera pointed at the class and of course the hoodlums stole the video camera.

   Too many people who purchased or adopted dogs during covid have decided they no longer need their companions now that they can again mingle with other people and have dumped their pets. Shelters and rescues are overflowing. Even if you can only provide temporary fostering, contact a local rescue today.

   Sigh. Then you reach retirement age and the medicos tell you that your diabetes, pancreas, liver, etc. dictate no more alcohol.

    Yup, sounds like the separation process the last time I was in a computer industry layoff. I never received the speech because my boss was escorted out while I was still laying off the people in my team so I had to lay myself off.
