    Satellite Dish Seating Arrangements

    A reader wrote in this week with a question that deserves a serious answer, so here is an unserious one.

    The Short Version, Told Slowly

    The old guard prefers a flight plan taped to the cabinet. The new guard prefers whatever is on the other side of the door.

    Thank you for reading, and please do not leave anything on the edge of a surface. You know why.

    Mission Control Is Under the Sofa

    At Furball Aerospace, we try to keep things simple, which means we complicate them and then take a nap.

    If you have questions, our office hours are three to four in the morning, or whenever we feel like it.

    Our standard approach involves a flight plan taped to the cabinet, followed by a countdown that always ends in a sneeze, followed by a brief and unexplained sprint.

    The Short Version, Told Slowly

    Our team did a careful study. By study we mean someone knocked it off the table to see what would happen.

    If you take only one thing from this, take this: a crew that only works in short bursts is not a bug. It is the product.

    That is all for now. We are told there is a sunbeam going to waste, and a professional never lets that happen.
