signs & wonders
So I'm sitting at the computer desk (60"x33") and the cat is sleeping on my lap. Cat stands up, stretches, circumnavigates desk/computer (pausing to look out window), gets back on my lap and goes back to sleep.

Could be worse - my folks homesteaded in Alaska after WW2 - Dad would be away from the house for days on end working for the hwy dept and Mom said that at the age of 2 or so i would look intently out the window into the dark of night at a whole bunch of no civilization. and wave. Guess it made her a little jumpy and prone to having various firearms loaded and at hand.

Just making sure that there are no tidal waves to warn you about in Dayton. It is working.

Reminds me of that old punchline: "Hmmmm... I don't know... does it taste like radiator coolant?"
