I really miss Get Your War On these days. Maybe it is time for GYWO, the sequel?
A 2001 comic strip from Get Your War On. In the first panel, one office worker says into the phone, “Oh my god, this War On Terrorism is gonna rule! I can’t wait until the over and there’s no more terrorism!” In the second panel, we see the guy he on the phone with in a different office. The second guy responds, “I know! Remember when the U.S. had a drug problem, and then we declared a War On Drugs, and now you can’t buy drugs anymore? It’ll be just like that! In the third and final panel, we see the first guy again. He replies. “Right! God, if only that War On Drugs hadn’t’t been so effective! I could really use some fucking marijuana right now! The art is generic clip art that you could buy in a set in the late 90s to the 2000s.

Indeed. And now one of them is annoying cuddles while the other is chillin’ somewhere else.
Silver table with green eyes, head bowed in profile, snuggling in a pastel knitted afghan.

The girls finally got close enough to each other to allow to take a photo of them together. A rare sighting (they’re not hostile to each other, just independent). #cats #caturday #catsofbluesky #chillin
Two tabbies (one silver and one brown) lying near each other on a grey blue couch.

Morning sky and evening sky over Geneva. #sunrise #sunset #photography
The moon in light blue sunrise sky with sparse dark gray and pinkish clouds. In the foreground are apartment buildings. I’m the far distance are mountains. A sunset sky with orange near the horizon, up to a medium blue at the top of the frame. In the foreground are apartment buildings, with two construction cranes and a church spire towering over everything else.

It’s #Caturday and the girls are making loaves! #cats #catsofbluesky
Silver tabby with green eyes viewed from the side so you can see almost the full loaf. Her head is turned toward the camera, but she is looking to the left. She is sitting on the back of a blue couch. There is a window and bright sunlight backlighting the photo so the color is a bit washed out. Brown tabby with yellow eyes sitting load style on a cat tree. She is behind a post, so we can see here from and back have with a section of her middle obstructed by the post. She is sitting so she can watch outside the window but her head is turned toward the camera instead of the window. However, her eyes are looking at the camera: they are angled down, so she looks a bit dubious.

On this #Caturday, I got up early to finish a job application. The girls didn’t help, but they kept me company. Please wish me luck. #CatsOfBluesky #cats 😸🐈‍⬛🍀🤞
Silver tabby with green eyes, viewed from above. She is laying on a white, green, and grey bedspread with similarly colored cushions. She is laying on her side, curled in a circle, except with one front paw extended out and she is looking straight up at the camera. Brown tabby with yellow eyes, viewed straight on, but slightly above. She is laying on a white, green, and grey bedspread with similarly colored cushions. She is twisted, laying on chest in the front, but with her hind quarter on her side, her back legs curled and tucked under her. She is looking ahead, but since the camera is viewing her from above, her eyes have a hidden, veiled look—we can’t look into her soul.

Right on. Historical novel or present day (or future even)? I learned so much on my visit. I was ignorant of the history of the castle. Just had seen the beautiful photos. But all the. Catherine de Medici stuff was new to me. Highly recommended.

Happy #Caturday! Have you ever seen a face this sweet? #cats #catsofbluesky
Brown and black tabby seated on a parquet wood floor. She is seated near the threshold to the kitchen and looking upward toward the camera, with a look on her face that says, “I’m longing for food and will continue to give you this sweet, forlorn look until you feed me.”

Happy Tabby Tuesday from from this Tabby. #cats #CatsOfBluesky
Brown tabby with light green eyes sitting on a purple and pink afghan draped over a turquoise blue chair back. In that background is a corner of a window, a silver curtain and a turquoise and while rug. She is sitting loaf-style and looking directly at the camera. We see only the front half of her body in profile.

Wordlebot analysis of my game for 10 Sept. my skill was 85 compared to NYT avg of 89. My luck was 47 compared to NYT avg of 58. Yet somehow my score was 3, beating the NYT avg of 3.6. Wordlebot sucks.

Someone can NOT believe I have not fed her yet #cats #catsofbluesky #demandingcats #catitude
Silver tabby cabby sitting on her haunches very regally. She has green eyes, with which she is staring intently, with a look that says “I’m so disappointed in you.” She is sitting on a parkay wood floor with a bar cart in the background and the back side of a blue couch to the right.

Happy #Caturday from the girls! #cats #catsofbluesky
Silver tabby with green eyes and a tipped right ear sits on a turquoise, black and white patterned rug looking at the camera. She is sitting on her back haunches but the front half of her body is upright. There is a grey furry pillow obstructing our view of her front feet. There is a wooden storage bin in the background holding books and puzzles and stuff. Black and brown tabby lying on a daybed with white, grey, and sea green bedding. She has yellow eyes and lying in a compact, curved style, with front feet tucked under and tail wrapped around her. Her expression is calm.

#ThrowbackThursday #cats #catsofbluesky
Brown and black tabby with yellow eyes, lying on her tummy on a day bed with grey, white and green pillows and bed spread. We see her at eye level. We can see her face and front paw and her body recedes into the background. Her tail is curved around herself, so we see the tip pointing back in our general direction. Silver tabby seated on a bright blue chair next to a plum colored pillow. She is looking at us very sleepily, with eyes almost closed. We see her straight on, with good views of her fact and front legs. Her body recedes behind her.

Geneva, are you seeing this? It’s like a September miracle. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a bright, clear beautiful rainbow! It’s going to be a good day!

End of the weekend #cat post from the girls #catsofbluesky
Brown and black tabby with yellow eyes sitting on a cat tree in a window. She is sitting on her hind paws, looking at the camera. Silver tabby with green eyes sitting loaf style. We only see her front half and we are looking at her at an angle, between profile view and a front view. She is looking at something out the window, off camera.

My beautiful cat, looking regal and serious.
Silver tabby, sitting loaf style, with front paws tucked under her. You can only see her front half. She has green eyes and is staring at something just to the right of the camera. She is sitting on a light blue and white multicolored rug. The background is out of focus.

Once again, the Wordlebot claims I am less skilled and less lucky than the average players, yet I beat the average score. Hmmmm… I’m just not buying it.
