Boots (the kitty mentioned above) passed the intake physical and lab review today. He is boarding at the Day Spa for a few days to save another 3 hours of driving in the cat carrier. He should be getting his radioactive nuclear fallout (Iodine-131) dose on Tuesday.

Possible coincidence: the facility where this is happening is literally right next door to the old ISC building (home of Bind, etc etc, the internet archive for a time, and a FreeBSD mirror for many years). I many have parked in the vet facility's carpark at least once while doing a site visit to ISC over the years.
