This is Kelly. He’s an 8 week old kitten from a local feral colony. I saw him get hit by a truck towing a boat. When he got up from that and ran the rest of the way across the street I helped the woman who was chasing him to catch him. She’s allergic to cats and I’m not. So I’m now responsible for him. He has a broken jaw but is otherwise ok. #catsofmastodon #caturday #caturdayeveryday

Five stars: A Quantum Love Story by Mike Chen (2024) begins with the explosion of a particle accelerator somewhere near San Francisco in the near future. Carter is a technician at Hawke, and although this is our first time through the loop, he knows what to expect. He's been tracking it in notebooks, although the notebooks reset every time but the act of writing it down helps him remember. This time, though, he decides to take a different path, and he runs into Mariana Pinada, setting in motion something that will eventually save the world.

The Wizard's full name is Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkle Emmanuuel Ambroise Diggs. Since Oz Pinhead was a bad name, Oscar started calling himself just Oz and performed as a Wizard at the circus (p. 192)

On a side note of snark, I'd love it if Dorothy who seems to be hung up on names would start calling him Oscar or Mr. Diggs. She never does but she should given how she insists on renaming Bill.

The woman is Dorothy Wainer. The old man is Edward Wainer. I don't know who the young man on the left is. The location is Ottawa and it's December 1985.

If you recognize the man in the blue jacket, please let me know.
