We have a cat trying to adopt us. I've been debating whether to call animal control. They could also take care of the (at least) two other cats I see regularly roaming around the neighborhood. One of them looks like Crookshanks, from the Harry Potter movies.
Just out of curiosity, have you tried to find anyone to adopt it? I mean, I get you don't want it, but maybe Jess would know someone. She's a big cat person. Animal control is often a death sentence for strays.
Most responsible cat owners would have a collar on their pets.
Well, if that was the case then calling animal control would be traumatic for someone out there.
If you get to the point where you want to call animal control try Jess first. Just a thought.

My brother and I (and our families) had a great visit/lunch with our cousin yesterday. He flew down from Minnesota to buy a truck - apparently, used vehicles are in much better shape down here. Not sure about my brother, but that was the first time I'd seen him in nearly 10 years (when I got married).
He's got a wife of his own now. She's from Kazakhstan. Very nice young lady. She was really friendly and great with the kids (for never having met any of us before). From what I hear, my cousin just sort of shows up with her one day, married. Everyone up in Minnesota was surprised. He seems happy though, which is cool.
Yesterday I was introduced to BatDad. There are YouTube videos and a Facebook page. Go watch them. The dude is f+!$ing hilarious.
BatDad is quite hilarious. I'm surprised you've never come across him before

His wife must be one of the most patient, loving, and understanding women on the entire planet.

Memories light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were.
Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again, tell me, would we, could we
Memories may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember we simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter we will remember
Whenever we remember the way we were.
The way we were.

I ended up spending a good portion of yesterday working on the Diablo III issue, communicating back and forth with the Blizzard Support people and trying different things. In the end, I followed what I'd always heard as basic IT advice - turn off the computer and unplug it for a few minutes. That seems to have done the trick.
I'm holding out for a pit trap with spikes, myself.

Ooh
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music
Everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave 'em burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another
Anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
Dig in the dancing queen
Or, I could buy an adhesive temperature strip for around $4.
For an engineer, that is cheating.

My brother and his wife came over with their kids last night for pizza, snacks, gumbo, etc. Whilst the kids were banished upstairs, we adults played Card Against Humanity. It was fun. There were a couple of times I thought my wife and sister-in-law were going to pee their pants, they were laughing so hard.
Needless to say, I won.

No. It's the Keep It Simple rule. I don't need too precise a control on temperature when I'm brewing or fermenting. A range of acceptable temperature is sufficient. The adhesive strip is an inexpensive and easy to install measurement tool, with the added bonus of not taking up any amount of space that matters. It's the most bang for my buck.

I did take the kids to the playground for a bit, just to get them out of the house and give their (always) tired mother a break. It lasted about as long as it took baby girl to decide she had to use the potty. Inconveniently, both bathrooms at the playground area were locked. Since we are trying to discourage her from "just going in the diaper", I was forced to bring them home.
