Seven ate nine

I’m back.

No rain please

Realization: the biggest loser in the decision to move Conan to 11:30 is the television viewer in the post-Kimmel 1:00 to 1:35 range. All the funny people in the world and we have to watch Fallon v. Ferguson?

I’m going to the midwest this afternoon, posting will be exceedingly light for the next week.

Left my laptop’s power supply at home. Battery power didn’t last long enough to load windows. Currently attempting to teach a pigeon to fly to my house and get it.
