    The current pastiche of disasters is overwhelming the ability of insurance companies to respond. Combine that with people who build where you should not build (a precipice overlooking a river) and costs are spiraling.

    I am not laughing. I am just saying that it felt odd for me to see others in panic over what is normal to me. I realize homes in Texas are not insulated like they are here and what is mundane for us is deadly for them.

    We get them so rarely, hard to say. I don't think it's possible to deal with them well. The week of our honeymoon we had considered renting a trailer at a popular lake half an hour from my home. Pine Lake tornado - Wikipedia We do get highly destructive tornados on the praries. Toward the end...

    It's always weird to watch Americans panic over what I consider normal weather. In the meantime it is unseasonably warm here and I don't like it. I have three planned photo shoots that need snow, which has melted.

    Finally got the back end of the new photoblogging package I am writing working to my satisfaction. The core of the app is done and I am now adding a feature at a time and fixing what breaks. When that's done I'll start creating some basic theme packs for the front end. Started this last week...

    All jokes aside, here is my method for dealing with exhaustion: Pretend I'm not exhausted and just Do The Thing. If I can hammer through the first five minutes, I can cruise through the rest of the task.

    I just want to know if I am allowed to freak out because my adult daughter moved home and took over my mancave? I mean, that was just r00d.

    Finally finished the site for a project my daughter and I have been working on together: SoFoBoMohCanada – Helping photographers push their boundaries, eh? We're reviving a defunct photo book challenge that I loved in the past and that she wants to do herself. Launching this week. Then onto...

    I had no idea of the budget, TBH. I just watch shows and I like them or I don't.

    Star wars

    Andor is top notch, props where due. I am also fond of The Mandalorian. Book of Boba Fett... [Makes sign of cross. Spits. Spits again. Digs grave for Boba Fett BluRay and then salts and burns it.] Kenobi... Surprisingly good. Young Leia is a scene stealer and McGregor does Alec McGuiness proud.
