Punishing someone or something for a completely unrelated action.
What is the deal with some people? Someone shoots someone and the gun manufacturer get the blame with lawsuits and vandalism. A president gets elected by all the laws we hold dear and suddenly people who had nothing to do with it are being punished; taxi companies stranding people in New York, protesters in cities vandalizing and destroying private ( Read more... ) -
Retirement where art thou?
Good morning, here I sit in San Ramon waiting on a meeting that starts at 8 AM. What am I doing here so early you ask? If I don't leave my house and get through Manteca and Tracy before 04:00, a 1.5 hour trip turns into 3.5. Even crossing over the Altamont at 03:50 traffic is just terrible. Where are all these people going so early in the morning ( Read more... ) -
What happening?
Well the news is a-buz with made-up stories of how the world is going to end because someone did that or signed that. Of course lawyers everywhere are rejoicing in the money they are making as is the news that will say or amplify or do anything to keep you clicking on their otherwise uninteresting excreta. If people concentrated as much on their ( Read more... ) -
A nice relaxing day off.
After a very intense three days trying to catch up at work with numerious storm related problems in adition to the normal ones in the 30,000sq mile area I cover, yesterday was a supposed to be a relaxing time with nobody in the house but me for five hours. Nobody was here for most of it, including myself ( Read more... ) -
Random and Confused
I woke early as most days and quietly slipped out of the room to try and not wake growlcoon who has to work today. Down in the office I did my normal thing of sit down, not at my iMac, but my little server, a Mac mini, instead. I noticed I have been doing this for a while now and finally figured out why. I wear glasses with bifocals and to see the much ( Read more... ) -
Change in plans, welcome to my life...
As usual in our household we tossed everything up in the air and made a huge change in our travel plans last minuet. Stated in a past post we had decided not to go to EF due to an Alaskan cruse and Pac-Anthro con on either side of the EF month. I happened to be looking at flights to Stockholm for a trip to NordicFuzzCon next year but I could not ( Read more... ) -
Breaking the Magic
Just back from FC-2017, my first con in eight years I noticed a few things that has changed. I attribute most to changing times but one stands out; breaking the suiting magic, removing head or paws and revealing the human character beneath ( Read more... ) -

FC 2017 Day 3 & 4
The weather has been beautiful, the temperature outside perfect if your in suit. I am rather glad we did not get into the Marriott as every day all day is a line to the elevator with rides to anywhere from anywhere 20-30 minuets. The Marriott is a hoppin place though, always something going on and people moving about. I suited almost everywhere ( Read more... ) -
FC Day One
A great drive over with lite traffic. Finding the hotel and getting checked in was a breeze with no one in line. The room is a bit small but comfy and we were able to get organized quickly. At 14:30 we headed over to registration for our badges. It's great to have a last name not as popular as I bypassed the line right to the front to meet ( Read more... )
