The flight home was unremarkable, if long; this time, we did actually get the food we had ordered! While I had recovered from last-week’s cold, I got a different one upon landing. Esther also got a cold. Hopefully we’ll be done with colds for a while! At the moment, I have no energy whatsoever.
Good news: our (hybrid) vehicle’s starter battery was adequately charged up by the solar trickle-charger we’d attached, despite three weeks of abandonment. Our fancy water machine (which we had shut off altogether) came back online and remembered its settings!
Less good news: the house was at 30C (that’s 86F for you USAns!) because we hadn’t left windows open. After a few days of A/C it’s tolerable again. Our toilet decided it didn’t need to properly seal, so it was running all the time, and I had to replace its innards. My main laptop turned on for no reason, and the battery “puffed up” so it has to be replaced. Fortunately, “AliExpress” offers the batteries for less, with shipping, than I would pay here; and since they all come from China anyway, I just ordered from them.
The best part of traveling is arriving safely back home!
Of note:
- My friend’s dazzling with brilliance blog (I fall firmly into the Group 2).
- Uri: The Pakistani genocide that was memory-holed; and Erdoğan is the biggest liar on the planet, and everyone is silent.
- The founder of Wikipedia has been banned from that “neutral” site.
- About that new release of The Odyssey…
- Apparently, frozen burgers are better. Who knew?
- Windows 11 identifier code helped track down hacker. This has implications far beyond that.
Hard to say with any certainty, but Trump’s disappointment with Iran may just mean we’ll see “incoming” soon. IR has already been blasting stuff in its immediate region, to nobody’s surprise. I give it a 50/50 chance we’ll have a noisy shabbat.
This shabbat’s weather will be hot and dry. So A/C is on!
Home at last! We’re invited out for one meal (assuming the colds abate; today I feel less bad than yesterday, so there’s hope), for the others we’ll have:
pitot,
pargiot,
rice,
roasted veg,
fruit,
and various melons.
Until next time,
shabbat shalom!
