You know about hobo signs? The pictographs that itinerant workers would mark on trees or fences to inform each other about the reception they could expect from locals? (pre-internet yelp, if you will). Signs included “kind lady lives here” and “man with gun lives here”.

TIL that the “kind lady” sign was a stick-drawing of a cat. This got me thinking.

I scrobbled through the history buffer on my driveway camera. Just as i thought, here is my cat scratching a mark on the gatepost. Later, and again here and there are other cats inspecting the mark. No wonder so many lost kittens turn up on my son’s windowsill.

Je viens de balancer 20 secondes de silence à l'IA de reconnaissance vocale Whisper (le modèle 79 Mo fourni avec Futo Keyboard).

Elle me sort le texte "Thank you for watching."
