  I wouldn't have watched it anyway, but during Trump's speech I was busy giving my oldest cat his preventive meds. Most of are water-soluble and don't taste bad, so I mix them with water and a little canned cat food; to him that's a treat. One tastes bad, he gets it in a capsule; to him that's awful. I expect I'd have a worse taste in my mouth had I watched the stupid speech. I'll read about it tomorrow morning on https://electoral-vote.com.

Socialism is what they called farm price supports. Socialism is what they called bank deposit insurance. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

  For the first time, I need to know the latest-likely-frost date for Toronto. Various online sources are not entirely consistent, but it looks like 04-30 is a reasonable choice.

  It is convenient that my new laptop can charge quickly or slowly depending on the wattage supported by the USB power supply I plug it into. (Possibly only if newer forms of negotiation are allowed.) Previous laptop used USB charging but insisted on 65W minimum.
