Dreamed the crazy guy was alive & well.  You'd never guess he was ever on his way out.  It was another case of him overreacting to an illness.  Can't remember what we were doing.  Perhaps we were in another trade show or buying something.  The lion kingdom was grateful for giving his death a low chance of being real.  

Then woke up back in the apartment staring at a clock saying 6am.  The dream was so real, there was a moment of wondering how the lion kingdom got back in the apartment from the trade show.  Then it became most likely again that TCG really was dead, but maybe the dream was a prediction of the future.  There was no email.


--------------------------------------------------------------

Then dreamed about the old man in a past mental state.  He was ebullient & shopping for a laptop in a store for the lion kingdom.  He was making a big deal about support for some obscure HDTV standard. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally, dreamed about working in an office, on vintage CAD software on a vintage UNIX workstation.  Noted how minimal & to the point it was, how everything worked.

Helas, if it really was the past, the unlimited resources of the internet would not be available for help.  We only had whatever books were in the room & formal education.

Another crazy hottie sighting, this time with her either studmuffin or bodyguard who looks like Jean Reno.  TMZ is a tabloid news gatherer, but Jean Reno was enough to scare him into pointing the camera away.

Lions long viewed the neighborhoods bordering the office park as the primest locations.  New construction is always the cheapest time in a house's lifetime.  The houses being

 Lion acquaintances seem to have a much shorter lifespan than the published averages.  55-65 seems to be the norm.  Maybe life expectancy is a camel like inflation.  Die by 60 or make it through the great filter & hit 100.   ---------------------------------------------------- Ongoing struggles with Xfinity/Comca$t convinced lions they're now better off renting the XFI gateway than attempting to use a 3rd party modem.  It wasn't this way in 2016 when activating a 3rd party modem was straightforward.  That modem lasted until 2022 but seemed to not survive the migration to a monopoly.  In 2016, AT&T was a viable alternative.  By 2022, Commie was the only option. 3rd party modems are no longer supported via online activation.  It's not clear why the app provides an option to activate a 3rd party modem that merely redirects to the xfi gateway activation & fails when it tries to configure the gateway.  The modem goes into walled garden mode where you get DHCP, DNS, b

 Finally watched Creepshow, 40 years after rereading the comic book many times by flashlight. The highlight visually might have been the now vintage Apple II which was cutting edge in those days. Nothing utterly terrifying.  Better writing than anything current.  Only slightly deviates from the comic book. The highlight emotionally might have been when after feeding his wife to the warewolf, the now liberated man sits down to doing anything he wants.  The big deviation was the warewolf escaping in the end, while the comic book kept him trapped underwater. The zombies might have been easier on the eyes than the single women. The original comic book is now on archive.org with a 1 hour free trial.  With a 4k monitor, all you need to do is screencap it while turning the pages.  The raw images are very high res but a 4k screencap is still higher than any animal would actually read it in. Helas, the center page crease is cropped off. There's enough in a 2850x1890 screen cap to remember w
