This neighbour has 2 cats and their unit faces the playground. So the cats like to check out who is in the playground and I like to look out for little feline busybodies

While we now get frightened by our phones for earthquake warnings, I recalled learning about this seismometer from the Eastern Han dynasty that would elegantly drop a ball in the mouth of a frog directionally indicating that an earthquake had happened ~somewhere over there~

The haze hit “very unhealthy” levels this afternoon so office has finally issued an email saying we can arrange to work from home after speaking to our managers. They are also issuing N95 masks now. This brings back memories.
