Unfortunately, a return to the days of Lysenkoism is planned, but it is certainly not inevitable.

You seem to have forgotten his marvelous research regarding the mathematics which subsequently allowed development of the twist-off beer bottle cap. Much more important than cat doors, unless you are a cat.

Last report was 14.1 lbs, but that was at least 2 lbs ago. Approximately 6 years, he was a scrawny stray that showed up at our door one day...

A good start to the morning, hot chocolate and a new book. Now if Bradford City can eke out a win today...

I trust this went straight through the peer review. My IQ fell by 39 points just looking at this.

Obligatory cat pic, apparently a rite of passage here. May I present Bernie in a rare moment of peace. Named after an equally cantankerous Senator from Vermont.

Great choices and I am lucky enough to live not too far from Goldberry Books. Love the place, and buy books there whether I need them or not...

And yet, I see it has not quite lost its shadow. A great read by the way!

Cybertruck? Oh, I get it! You must mean a "Deplorean".

After the Bishop Museum and Pearl, take a plane to the Big Island. You have to see Volcanoes National Park. To not do so is criminal...

Don't know, but I can say from my recent trip to England it is an Anglo-Saxon tower with a relatively good bit of confidence.

Nope, still active. Just a slow refresh rate here in the hinterlands.

I told them to hold as there would be gradual acceptance of the technology. And here we are, still fighting that battle...

Well worth waiting for. However, make sure you read or re-read "Hard Boiled Wonderland and The End of The World" first as it serves as an almost required prequel.

First post, so be gentle...

Listen up Kids!
If you are have just gotten Murakami's new book "The City and its Uncertain Walls" may I heartily recommend that you get yourself a copy of "Hard Boiled Wonderland and The End of the World" and start there first as it serves as an amazing prequel.
