Played Dominations today, which is an interesting game I don’t hear much about. It’s only 15 turns but they are meaty. I love matching up the gems on the triangular domino’s to gain the resources (knowledge) that you use to build cities and build up your civilization.

At the beginning of 2023 I started a 10 X 10 with my husband. The idea is to do it within a year, but it took us 2 years and 8 months. We finished last night and ended in a tie.
The blanks are the same color as the meeple to the right of them.

Today’s game is Windmill Valley. The only reason I don’t own it is because my friend owns it. Love the gear mechanism on this one! #boardgames

My baby Nyx may have a mast cell tumor. Not even 5 years old and has already had both knees replaced. She’s lucky I don’t have kids and can spend that money taking care of her. 😞 #dogs #fuckcancer

Played 2 new to me games today. Big Sur, a simple card game where you’re building stretches of road and trying to match up scenery types. Love a multi-use card. Depicted is Peaks, a recent Kickstarter I received. Interesting game about mountain climbing. It was a hit with my group! #boardgames

I typically loath this “holiday” anyway, due to the unnecessary stress the fireworks of those who can’t bother to be considerate neighbors cause. I can’t imagine any decent person celebrating this country right now especially.

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference.
But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

Sen. Padilla pushed to ground, handcuffed for demanding DHS not lie
Forcibly removing a sitting US senator, as they opposed the president's immigration policy, is a part of a broader slide.
