Chica was a good dog. She was 15 or 16, and the last dog that any of my siblings had. This was my youngest sister’s dog. I remember when they moved to a tiny apartment and brought Chica to live with us and our (at the time) dogs and cats. At the time, they hadn’t had any cats, so we were concerned that Chica would chase / attack the cats. After a little while, she made it clear that she understood that the cats were family members.
The highlight of Chica’s time with us was when my niece #LG would visit. She made sure everyone knew that was her little girl.
Chica kept trying to “go home”, so she’d escape from the backyard and then wander the neighborhood. Home was fifty miles away, so we always found her and returned her before them. (The experience fence-building turned out to be valuable for #sonTwo, who built a fence around his own backyard this year.)
After they bought a house, Chica moved back home. She wandered in the front or back, but never tried to leave. And now that she was accepting of cats, they got two cats, one of which became her best friend.
#RIP Chica. -

#sonTwo just sent me a pic of the ultrasound. There’s another grandchild on the way. -

As an example, #sonTwo went to an art school to study photography. They instilled it in his head that photographers would all starve if it wasn’t for copyrights.
I know there must be other, not dependent on copyright, ways for photographers to make a living with their cameras, but I can’t come up with something that would convince most photogs. I can’t even convince the 32 year old that grew up in my home. -

Prepping a flash drive and a DVD of #CentOS 8.2 to send to #sonTwo. I should probably also send #Debian or #Devuan or #Ubuntu, but if he gets the first server running, that's fine for now. -

Turnabout is fair play, I guess.
I was telling @bthall / @bthall@nulled.red how tough it is that the kid ( #sonTwo, current 32 years old ) who called almost every day for the past sixteen years is working so much that we're not talking more than once every week or two. -

Used to listen to this song quite a bit with #sonTwo after his older brother left for the Navy. -

How I knew:
#sonOne spent over two years on crutches after a bicycle crash in high school. #sonTwo followed suit about a decade later, but his foot healed faster, so he was done in under a year. -

As expected, they brought the new baby dog-dog home. The existing granddoggy was not sure how to feel about it. But having survived a baby, I think a new puppy will be survivable.
This puppy looks to have a large breed in its ancestry. When the human child ( #GS3 is about 1 1/2 years old ) and the dog-dog child sit next to each other, they're almost the same height.
My daughter-in-law quit her job (health reasons; but also, there was a change of ownership and the new people running things wanted to save on employee salaries either by reducing pay or by chasing people away and hiring lower-paid people in their places), so #sonTwo has to keep his part-time 2nd job and hope for more hours. -

Sent these to #sonTwo as suggested listening. I expect they'll have too much detail ("too technical"), but if he gets a birds eye view it'll be helpful. -

Bought alphabet letters and a board with holes for the letters. Package says 2+, so I told #sonTwo and his wife to look it over before deciding whether to give it to #GS3 or wait a few months. -

Actually, if #DataShards was a practical, end-user project, I would try it now. #sonTwo is changing hosting of one of his sites, so I went in and grabbed (what I believe is) all t he interesting data to send to him. -

Reminds me that one time I fell out of bed and had trouble getting back up years ago. When #sonTwo heard of it, he said "If we have to put you in a home, we're choosing one near #sonOne. I'm tired of taking care of you."
That was LOL-worthy. -

Going to try out #OnionShare ... file-sharing over a #Tor hidden service. After I log into #sonTwo's server and grab some files.
We're having trouble with it, so I'm going to flatten it and then let him rebuild. -

If you haven’t made an emergency evacuation plan yet, it is time to do so now. Ours is outdated, so needs work.
But basically, if you’ll need to bring it in an emergency, you should know where it is and be able to grab it quickly. If you’ve got pets or children in your home, or if you’ve got someone with health issues, you should never wait until authorities give evacuation orders. Be ready to leave and to get beyond the danger area BEFORE the crowds try to flee.
When #sonTwo and his wife were in #FL, they spent something like 12 hours one time getting from Miami / Ft Lauderdale to Tampa. Another time, they spent over a day getting out of FL into #GA, only to find that there were no places in southern GA with space available ... I think they wound up going to #MS to avoid the storm. -

Sent #sonTwo the book "Starting an Online Business for Dummies all-in-one". #GS3 saw a book come out of a shipping box and decided it was for him. -

Early in the Anaheim Ducks’ life (as the Disney-owned Mighty Ducks), I considered taking #sonTwo to see a game, but prices were out of reach, so hockey stayed out of my life. -

As I told #sonTwo about one of the courses I’m taking “sometimes it feels like I’m pouring water on a concrete patio and wondering why the ground underneath never gets wet”. -

#sonTwo and I had just watched #StarWars Episode One at the theater. Heading home, we stopped at Walmart. We passed the toy aisle and I noticed toy light sabers. I grabbed one, accused my child of being a Sith, and started swinging it at him. He ran, saying "stop, you're embarrassing me", while I gave chase.
Many years later, when he left for college, he told some other students this and other stories and they voted me "most embarrassing dad". -

#sonTwo and his wife recently had a situation where his job wasn't able to do electronic payroll, so they had to wait for a check to be mailed from HQ. Meanwhile, her $EMPLOYER was taken over by another company, so their payroll was late. I decided to send some money, but I had to wait for unemployment insurance to send it to me first.
It just happened that her parents were visiting for most of this time, so they stocked the house with food.
By the time my money arrived, the in-laws were gone and the paychecks had started arriving. -

#sonTwo reports that his wife likes the new rice cooker because this one has a tray which enables her to steam vegetables while cooking rice.
I think this one also doubles as a pressure cooker. Probably not on the same level as Insta-Pot or similar devices, but whatever.
