Shanah tovah to all who are observing Yom Kippur, which began at sundown last
night. This is the Jewish day of atonement, and quite a solemn occasion. But at
least I won't have to atone for forgetting this like I did Rosh Hashanah the
other day.
My mishap yesterday made me aware that my cloud backup isn't working properly. Thankfully I had a local physical backup too. I've jumped through some hoops but still have some issue to overcome, as I can get OneDrive to spend an hour updating its backup, but it won't pick up anything more recent than two years ago. Googling "OneDrive sync problems" uncovers countless articles to theoretically help because this basic function seems to fail for lots of users. So it's not just me, it seems this is another of those things that Microsoft managed to Zune up. Wish me luck.

Equally dipshit nonowners that run up to a strange animal and person and just reach out and attempt to pet....and then cry when the situation goes as badly as you expect it to. Its not a Canada problem, it's a human species problem.
Maybe this is a Southern thing but I've always had people ask if they may pet my dog before attempting to do so. Perhaps it is the way my dog carries herself that causes that situation. I always answer "You can present her with the opportunity to be petted but if she backs up a pace or two that's a hard no from her." Everyone has, thus far, respected that and not tried to press it.
What I don't tell them is that she wants exactly three and a half people in the entire universe to pet her and no more. Myself, my dad, my sister, and sometimes my mom (thus the half).
