    A Cloudy Day Contingency Plan

    We have been doing this for what feels like nine lives, and we are still not sure who is in charge.

    If you take only one thing from this, take this: warmth measured in loaf units is not a bug. It is the product.

    The Short Version, Told Slowly

    Our standard approach involves an energy report written between yawns, followed by a tracking system consisting of one cat and a slow crawl, followed by a brief and unexplained sprint.

    Naturally there was a committee. Naturally the committee was a pile of boxes, and naturally one box was occupied.

    Tracking the Sun Across the Living Room

    A reader wrote in this week with a question that deserves a serious answer, so here is an unserious one.

    Our standard approach involves a tracking system consisting of one cat and a slow crawl, followed by an energy report written between yawns, followed by a brief and unexplained sprint.
