Went to my first bridal shower last weekend. Interesting time all around. The bride-to-be is the fiancée of a dear friend of mine going back to high school, which meant his sister, mother, and step-mother were also all in attendance—none of whom I’ve seen in 30 years.

Also, we won the TP wedding dress competition (last photo)!

I spend a crazy amount of time in this restroom in the building of my electrologists before my appointments, waiting for the topical anesthetic to soak in. I always block it off as OOO in my work calendar; I always end up conducting work over Slack on my itty bitty iPhone 13 mini.

I don’t like to edit my photos, so I had to lean on my red and yellow filters quite a bit in Ireland, where it was perpetually a bit gray.

Basic models of flocking behavior are controlled by three simple rules: 1) separation: avoid crowding neighbours (short range repulsion); 2) alignment: steer towards average heading of neighbors; 3) cohesion: steer towards average position of neighbors (long range attraction). With these three simple rules, the flock moves in an extremely realistic way.
