The Red Queen’s Race

I didn’t get any amendments this week, so I’m still at zero. A Request for Continued Examination on one of my cases under final rejection, which processed, but that showed up in my Regular New docket.

I finished an Office Action on my oldest Regular New case back on Saturday the fifth. Then I worked on another Regular New, and in due course finished an Office Action on that. When the Request for Continued Examination case showed up, I worked on that, and completed an Office Action late Friday evening.

It’s been a productive week. I now have one new case on my Special New docket, so I expect to work on that next week.

Weather and a Beagle

Friday afternoon and this afternoon, the weather was mild enough for shirtsleeves; snow is predicted for Sunday morning.

I have seen several posters seeking a lost beagle: a tricolor who weighs thirty-five pounds, described as lost and timid. People are asked not to chase him, but to call a telephone number if they see him. I hope that the human and the beagle are reunited.
