Seattleite, hiker, love all animals but currently live with just one cat, reading is my fave thing (history, mystery, historical mysteries, scifi, science, nonfiction generally), big fan of Deep Space and Deep Time. Liberal Democrat.
Still one of my faves.

Still one of my faves.
In the past few days, I've seen at least three Waymo vehicles tooling around Seattle's north end.
I think they're mapping rather than autonomous taxis, because they have what seem like a lot of sensors: a big AWACs-style dish on the roof, and an adorable revolving light thingie on the rear.

A perfect autumn day - and of course I'm at work. WFH but still: can't go gadding off to the hiking trails.

Arachnophobes, look away!!
I like spiders, and at least one lives in my house. I worry about her, bc not many bugs get in here, and I don't want her to starve.
Today she managed a major coup: captured a moth 3x her size, bundled it up, and is stuffing herself on it.
You go, girl!

One of the staples of my posts here have been stories and photos of my elderly cat Oscar: my roomie and constant companion since he was born nearly 17 years ago.
Oscar had a major stroke Monday evening and died that night in the hospital.
I mourn and miss him.

Got these cocktail glasses decades ago, haven't used them in years but love them too much to get rid of.
So I found a nifty new use for them: holding a serving of Asian Cracker Snack mix.
Makes snacking more fun and festive :)

Caturday
"Dappled Oscar"
Pre-Dawn. Oscar is looking out the sliding glass door to the big deck off the living room. His hind end looks like a patchwork of color, bc where I shaved some matts off, the fur grew back in funny: darker when short, lightening as it gets longer.

Oscar on Sunday, lounging on the heat padded blanket on his side of the sofa.
Blanket and heat pad have been there for many years, giving kitties a warm spot in the winter and then, when they are elderly, some relief for their arthritic old bones.

I haven't done any fused glass in years - but this is one of my best pieces, a glass mandala. Big piece, about 14" in diameter.

Tim Walz is the dad and grandpa that Rush and Rupert stole from us.
He's the family we lost when their personalities changed seemingly overnight.
If the right wing funded rage machine never existed, we would have had millions like him.
They've broken so many families.

Tom - I'm doing a sort of social media bombing with this Twitter thread from Aaron Fritchner, an aide to Rep. Don Beyer. I want as many people as possible to know just how the MSM is doing to Joe Biden what they did to Hillary Clinton:

How about not joining the stampede to get rid of Biden?
How about looking coldly at what reporters - under pressure from their editors - are doing to Biden? And spreading that word, instead of chin-stroking over who should replace him on the ticket.

Aaron Fritschner is a House staffer for Rep. DonBeyer. He's detailed how reporters, under pressure from their bosses, are distorting coverage to make things look worse than they are. Please spread this as far and wide as you can:
