Hey Everyone! :-)
Agent Thoth discusses more of the trials and tribulations associated with living with hominids. Incidentally, if you've missed Agent Thoth's earlier entries, you can find them here: Thoth's Journal

Agent Thoth's Personal Log
Day Six-Hundred-Seventy-Eight:
I am beginning to believe there may be a physiological connection between the local weather conditions and my hominid-servant's hypothalamus. At first, I thought it was only psychological. Because any time she glanced out one of the transparent portals and observed any frozen precipitation, she would immediately increase the number of textiles covering her body.
However, I have now observed several occasions when the outside temperature dropped significantly during her sleeping hours, though the temperature inside my domicile remained constant during that same time period, and my hominid-servant responded by exhibiting extreme reluctance to emerge from beneath the textile panels covering her sleeping platform when it was time for her to rise. Since she was unconscious during the time that the weather conditions changed and has no view through any of the portals from her sleeping platform, there is no way she could have known about the increase in precipitation.
Absent another explanation, I have hypothesized that hominids must have a previously unsuspected intrinsic connection with their environment. The possible mechanism for such a bond is unclear to me, but I will endeavor to discover more about this phenomenon and report back when I have additional data.

Uh, oh! A mystery! ;-) You may have noticed that Agent Thoth has a new look. I hope you like his new picture as much as I do, but I'd love to hear your thoughts, either way. Feel free to let me know what you think in the comments. ;-) Happy reading, everyone!
