Sam, I wanted to thank you- the hug for the universe inspired me to make some videos for the library where I work, of me hugging stuffed animals and sending that out as a hug for anyone who could use a hug. I can't share the vids because Real Name, Real Geography, but you gave me the idea. Thank you!

Does Dark Sky have the numbers for air quality? It’s still not free on iOS, but I’d get it if it did.

It does not appear to. I didn’t look, because for me it’s not a huge concern, but I just went back in and it’s not a visible feature, nor is it listed as one in the Paid App Perks section. Sorry! Weatherbug does, and you can even move it up to be one of the first things you see.

They look like an electronic music duo getting ready for their next album to drop.

Their first single is just one long sustained meow with a drumbeat.

The Cryptid Overlords Demand Offerings of Pettings and Treats

Boy do they ever. Even Dearborn came begging this morning and she never begs for pettings in the bed.

Polk looks like she belongs in the Overlook Hotel.

HEEEEEERE’S POLKADOT!

I love that he says they "will" not talk to us, as opposed to cannot talk to us.

Man, I wish I found buttons or keys. I find dead birds. Not too often, but just often enough to be mildly disturbed.

Oh, that used to happen to me! I had one fall on my head one time.

I like to think they were psychopomps sent to escort me to the underworld and some protective guardian nailed them before they could get to me. Or you could pretend a spirit cat is bringing you presents!

Huh, I would think they'd be enjoying the Warm Thing, rather than startled by it? Go figure.

Oh man, “I’d better get some sleep because I have to be up early for a big day” is THE WORST insomnia!

Stiffs & Gifts, though? That’s marvelous as well
