    TBH, I wondered if he'd died some time ago. He had a lot of health
    setbacks in a short period of time (heart attack, covid, pneumonia),
    and his wife died a while back, which meant he wasn't getting whatever
    elbow nudging he needed to take care of himself. Plus he had not
    updated his blog since 2022.
