What the what?!? For the 2nd time in 2 months, a slug somehow made it into my kitchen, onto my counter, and then climbed into the drip tray of my little espresso machine. I am confounded. #rvawildlife

I have never been good at word jumbles. But sitting here in the break room, with a SIDEWAYS newspaper nearby, I can rearrange the letters in my head in a way that I can’t when I’m looking at them RIGHTSIDE-UP orientation. And the unjumbling is easy. I wonder what makes my brain do that.

I feel I’ve always known about Laika. But I just NOW found out about Felicette the cat. She was sent into space in 1963 and made it back alive. Then they killed her to study her brain. The internet community crowdfunded a statue for her in 2019.

📨 What’s up? Just hanging out in the WRIR Fundraising office again. 📦 Packing thank you notes, stickers, tshirts & caps into mailers so we can thank folks for donating to our Spring Fund Drive. I wish I could clone myself, but sometimes volunteer stuff takes longer than we want.
