Snowflakes are drifting past, hanging in the air like giant virus particles.

I keep being daunted by images from the pre-pandemic era showing people standing way too close together!

The government should issue every person a two-meter stick that they can use to maintain a proper social distance. Shown above, Jackie is making do with a free-market stick which is only two-thirds as long as it ought to be.

Besides social distancing, we should also engage in asocial distancing. And definitely sociopath distancing. But let your own politics be your guide as to whether to engage in socialist distancing.

Me: I just found this recipe at Paleo Magazine which looks yummy: honey balsamic salmon and harvest vegetables.

Jackie: A “paleo” recipe with “harvest” vegetables? Shouldn’t they be foraged vegetables?

Me: Point taken. Now, if it were a recipe in Neolithic Magazine, then fine.

I wouldn’t want to speculate on what’s my worst character flaw, but I’m willing to go out on a limb and say near the top of the list is that I think it’s funny to pronounce epistemological as if it were spelled epi-systemological.

Another short dialog

Jackie: Walking from the study into the bedroom, I passed through a spot where it was actually cool.

Me: That’s because all the cools were heading for the staircase to go downstairs. It’s what they do.

Jackie: “It’s what they do.” That explains it.

Overnight lows in St. Croix

Overnight lows in St. Croix look to range from 75 to 78. I don’t know if I can pack to handle wild swings like that. How many different weights of t-shirt can they expect me to fit into my carry-on?

I write science fiction and fantasy stories.

I speak Esperanto, and use it to communicate internationally. Esperantistoj, legu mian esperantan hejmpaĝon.

For a while I taught Taiji. My current hobby is HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts, aka sword fighting).

For eleven years I was a senior writer at Wise Bread, writing about personal finance and frugality.

Before that I spent a quarter-century as a software engineer.
