Been kind of crazy stressful past few weeks without the silly little guy.
Did find his collar (with AirTag) on the side of the road around the corner from where we live, but no other traces. Collar was of this variety that would open to avoid choking the animal.

Started my 2026 reading year strong: with Octavia E Butler’s “Parable of the Sower”. Excellent book. Too real.

In Icelandic folklore Jólakötturinn, the Yule Cat, comes to eat those who do not wear their new clothes for Christmas. In this image, you can see somebody did not put on their new Christmas sweater. Or perhaps even more unfortunately, no one got them one!
