Java Zen:Thinking Out Loud Thursday, 2025.07.03 
After taking the trip of a lifetime, our reader sent his twelve rolls of film to
Kodak for developing (or "processing," as Kodak likes to call it) only to
receive the following notice: "We must report that during the handling of your
twelve 35mm Kodachrome slide orders, the films were involved in an unusual
laboratory experience." The use of the passive is a particularly nice touch,
don't you think? Nobody did anything to the films; they just had a bad
experience. Of course our reader can always go back to Tibet and take his
pictures all over again, using the twelve replacement rolls Kodak so generously
sent him.

Heil Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty…

Yet another reason to be suspicious of cats: Kitlers. There’s lots of them and they have fans! Even so, its been 14 years since we had to put our kitty, Jerome, down and I still miss that purr.
