What is consciousness? / Do you have some second thoughts about the mission?

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Amazon Echo did not know about bacon / the future / the mission. Knew what consciousness was. Was confused as expected by Has ....

Did not know what the 39 steps were.

December 12 tradition -- Celebrated the 29th anniversary of our first date with pub grub. (First date was in a pub. It didn't go too smoothly.)

Congrats on persevering. Tell the Seed Lady that I'm about three blocks from her favorite bank in Petaluma.

Power cut (blackout)

About an hour left before the server hibernates. Comms / wifi / internet looks good for about 4 hours+

Bummer. Time to retire for the evening it seems.

Update: I can see a PG&E crew working in the trees under floodlights. So it may be intentional. At least all the secondary / emergency LED lighting kicked in (added a few after the last quake) LED candles were on at the time.

Ability to make nice cup of tea compromised. The Horror. Bedtime indicated.

WiFi analysis show some, but not many, run on UPS. Much less congested than normal.

On a plane about to leave for Duke U to drive back with my daughter. Airplane mode here we go.

I probably shouldn't even ask but wouldn't it be easier for her to take a flight home?

Yeah, but it's more expensive to ship her car back and fly her back, since we don't want to store it in NC for 8 months. We can use the car here in Colorado. Plus we'd have to ship about 300lbs of her stuff back to last her until August.

This way saves us $400-500 even with my $135 flight, 5 nights of hotel, meals, and gas at 30mpg x 1600 miles. Plus, she needs me to help her move out of her dorm and place whatever she doesn't need until her senior year into a storage unit. She'll be away for a semester abroad in the spring, which is while she' snot going back till August.

No, failure to disperse.

There is this thing called Google (or a lawyers office) where one could search whether the police are required to inform you of your rights or not and at what time. 

 

PS: Am I the only one who finds incredible irony in asking about rights *after* a civil rights demonstration?

That was completely unhelpful, thanks anyway.
