We dropped off several bags of bedding and towels at our county animal services center today and I was thrilled to see the donation bins overflowing with bedding, food and toys. Also, many smiling people walking out with sweet dogs, cats, bunnies and turtles and yes, a very handsome rooster. 😊

Yet in 2010, Noem—then a congressional candidate—had “20 speeding tickets, three stop-sign violations, two seat-belt violations and a citation for driving with no driver’s license.” She had six court notices for failing to appear, and had two warrants out for her arrest. trib.al/uQSDaqR

Our little cul de sac is big on Halloween decorations. We have two motion activated life sized wolf skeletons with glowing eyes that open their jaws and howl when anyone is in proximity. Every small child that came by, and there were many, had to hug or pet the "puppies". They were fearless. 😊

So I was thinking about Pegasus spyware. If ICE uses it to access my phone, they will be condemned to wade through 15 years of pet, beach and garden photos and endless emails and texts offering pro bono advice about cosmetic fillers, Botox and facial anatomy. Instant karma for infecting my phone.
