Happy Caturday, Gerbil Nation!

It won’t be anywhere near a hundred and fark degrees today, but it should warm up to the mid-70’s by next weekend.

Mac -- the Martini was an elegant design with a strong action.

I’ve got an extra choir rehearsal this morning, in preparation for our spring concert in a few weeks, so I’ll see y’all later!

I’m a fan of the vodka martini. Neat. Dry. With a couple of olives. The warmth brings out the flavor of the olives.

It’s an acquired taste, to be sure, but … well…

I prefer my Martini in .303, but that also is an acquired taste.

Although as the Zulu’s proved, if you have enough warriors to throw against the problem, it doesn’t matter how good your small arms are.

that’s a lesson we all should internalize.

All I know about the conflict is within the old movie, which… I can’t even remember who was in it, although I know I saw it at least once.

I have some 10 year old Laphroaig I’m willing to share with you.

I tend to pour triples. major tranquilizing action. LIke for when my Dad passed away. I was pretty upset. Took the edge (way) off.

I haven’t had anything like that since then. Plus there’s the whole “Mormon” thing. : ) : )

In the days when Harper couldn’t get muscle relaxants, and hadn’t yet been diagnosed with MS, She tended towards warm showers and plunges in the hot tub--she wasn’t as affected by heat back in the day. But also used single malt scotch, and for some reason Keebler’s Oatmeal Cremes (no longer made) to soothe the effect on the stomach.

By the way, Keebler’s Oatmeal Cremes — another thing — strangely a discontinued cookie — that is easier to search on Lycos than on any other search engine.

Mrs. Paddy and I are going out to watch our local professional sports ball team play (ball, not puck). As Vin Scully used to say, it’s a beautiful day for a ballgame.

Y’all be good.

Regarding search engines:

Even though Brave has similar results as google, they have added a new AI summarizer that often gives you a concise paragraph which generally answers your query.

Lycos still gives more unbiased results. Although, I’m not sure it’s deliberate, It’s probably more a products of a late 90s sensibility in the internet in general--neglected for so long as to still reflect those 90s, wild west internet sensibilities.
