13 runners braved the storm to run The Running Man x Ingress missions on a self-guided tour to hunt Ben Richards down. Mission progress was briefly interrupted by a film production, but that’s Hollywood, baby. #RunningManMovie 🏃‍♂️

I found a blind senior dog yesterday in the hills between Riverside and Moreno Valley. He seemed pretty ill and animal control had me take him to the emergency vet in Grand Terrace. (I've also posted him on other sites.)

No one should be above the law, most especially the President.

Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional.

They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

A young tortie cat lying on a platform next to a window with her paws dangling off the edge, her face contorted in a big yawn exposing a rough pink tongue and the tips of little sharp teeth.

Surely this new video won't make me seem like a crank.

A two photo collage, on the left is a brown and white tabby kitten looking up with blueish green eyes, and on the right is the same cat in a similar pose all grown up. Her eyes are now yellowish green, a freckle on her nose has faded from black to light brown, and the fur on her chin has darkened.

Mira is still adjusting to her new housemate. We've been keeping to the eat, play, love routine, and slow progress has brought a tentative peace.

And that's how we got Sofrito (also known as Sofi, Ragamuffin, or Noodlebones).

Poor little thing was so bony and had all kinds of crud matted to her underside, but was incredibly cuddly and trusting.

I'd been wanting a second cat for years, but I was worried Mira wouldn't take well to a newcomer. Looked at shelters but never pulled the trigger.

Well manifestation must be real because early one morning in December, this little thing showed up on my porch screaming her head off.

Mirepoix (also known as Mira, Terrorpaw, and Our Little Monster) was a pandemic kitten, gotten from a Craigslist post when she was barely 4 weeks old in April 2020. She's grown up to be a very particular cat, agitated by any change to her norm.

#firstpost and I'll make it of my two spoiled cats, Mirepoix and Sofrito ♥️

Two cats on two windowsill perches with a view of a bird feeder, bird bath, and hummingbird feeder. The larger older cat, a brown and white tabby sitting on a heated pad on the lower perch, is looking outside. The little kitten, a long haired tortie sitting on the upper perch, is looking down at the older cat.
