We did another sterilization clinic here today. A little slower today but we still did another 42 cats and dogs at no cost to the owners. One of the small pups is a feral and needs some assistance, so we'll help rehab her and be fosters until we can get her a furever home.
We've been doing TNR (trap, neuter, return) here since 2011. We've TNRed 19 cats and gotten some of them adopted. We have one remaining "yard cat" who we care for. Haven't seen another cats in many moons.

When we first came here there were a lot of street dogs. They were generally well fed, so not really traumatic to see (part of why we liked this community), but still a lot of them. There were a couple of active programs that we started volunteering with and you could see the impact. Covid made things worse as a lot of people had to turn their pets loose, but it was short lived and the trajectory has been steadily down since. The number of community people involved has really changed too. Originally it was almost all ex-pats, now there are a solid 30% locals. And lots of the local kids volunteer too. Several future vets in the bunch and it's cool to see the kids attitudes change.

Well after wasting many days of research and useless coding, I bit the bullet and spent the $90 on Disk Drill to recover the files from a RAW drive.
Itâs downloading now and will have to be entered by hand after a 2+ hour download. Then I can reformat that partition and and go on from there. I was hoping to just get the RAW section corrected so I wouldnât have to do a major restoration.

How did that go, Gene?
Iâve got to do some line coding on the terminal to fix the partition permissions. Havenât done any real terminal work in 25 years.
EDIT: Not going that great. One app recognizes it the other 3 donât, especially TestDisk or the Disk Utility. Trying to reformat the now corrupted RAW partition before I do a total individual file recovery. Slow, very slow.
Have a few drinks to celebrate a day off from work because of a snow storm. The high winds is what's making it worse. After vacation last week, I didn't really want this but I'll adapt.
I Went to the cardiologist and got a great checkup of my heart which was said to be "strong". This goes along with the
brain scan I had last week which showed that the stroke is healing super well. The MRI showed that all the blood has
cleared from the affected area of my noggin. All great news despite my sedentary lifestyle and bad diet. Must exercise!
and eat some veggies! quadruple bypass quadruple shmypass.
That's what I'm going to do I guess. But not all at once... today.
You'll do anything to get out of picking football games. Welcome back, feel better.
