And Chippy

First: today is a good day to change some passwords, and maybe set up a good password manager to keep them hard and unique.

I dreamt about a surprise union meeting last night, where some fairly high-level union types were talking a lot and showing off their branded tablecloths with pictures of their faces on them. I think for the most part the real ones wouldn't do that.

The chicks are growing and spending more time outside. They have names given by the kids: Black Star, Red Stripe, Red Ribbon and… Chippy. I think they're adding cheer and purpose to life around here.

Ada is going to get a 5th birthday party in conformity with public health guidelines: backyard gathering, 10 people, three households, lawn chairs in clusters far apart. We do what we can!

I look forward to seeing the chicks and it would be cool to eventually get some home-hatched eggs! I guess the only concern is what happens to them post-pandemic when we all go back to real life. Do you know the gender of these chicks and do you foresee eventually integrating them into a farm someplace?

We paid a premium to get all laying hens… and I think although they help us stay sane now, we've been planning since last year and will keep our coop going indefinitely. Fresh eggs sometime in the summer!

I like the names. Morgen has a similar approach to her stuffy friends that she has named: BaaBaa the sheep, Pouf the limbless squishy rainbow yeti thing, and Tunk (trunk?) the neon elephant. Descriptive, brief, effective!
