Look at those babies! It was purr luck I got this shot!

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

Nice babies you've got there! And in perfect order!

I caught the flu a couple days back but today I was able to get out for some time. I was planning to not do much, but ended up in the garage and started doing some projects, like fixing a lamp that has been waiting for several years, and servicing the problematic fuel petcock of my motorbike as well as continuing with the carbs. Stayed the garage for over 5 hours. I really needed that hands-on work for a change, but choosing not to rest today wasn't probably very smart at this point.

Love the photo. Here is mine, falling asleep, next to her cat bed. Her name is Dex.

Anyone in the community listened to The Telepathy Tapes and have any perspectives to share? I can't get it off my mind, and I really don't know what to think.

You are mistaken. It’s march. Unless this is a future post.
