Austin, Texas. Rice Grad.
Attorney; Board-certified in Civil Appellate. Huge USWNT fan. DS9 remains as the best Trek ever.
Yet they served the purpose of totally refuting their characterization of their opposition as a bunch of violent terrorists.

This is not a terrorist:

Here's the height of my concern yesterday in Austin.

Here in Austin, Gov. Abbott made a big deal about calling in the Guard "to protect property from violence." Here's how "violent" it was. Total waste of money to make a bogus representation.

From the war zone by the Texas Capitol.

There were a considerable number at the Capitol here in Austin.

This is what Governor Abbott mobilized the National Guard for?

14 years ago, a co-worker brought in a litter from a construction site. They were old enough to be adopted, so I impulsively took one.

Cat Altair has been my best friend since. Her feral lineage shows up all the time. She's both loyal and feisty.

Cat Altair tends to take a break 16+ hours a day.

Absolutely. This one (Cat Altair) lets me know when I'm staying up past her bedtime.

Cat Altair's parents were feral. It shows. She has the strongest personality of any cat with whom I've shared space. (There have been more than a dozen.)

She exudes the absolute joy she feels in just being alive.

Cat Altair is a loyal friend of mine:

Cat Altair does the same with me in the morning. It's her favorite time of the day.

Agreed.

The difference between 1940 and today is that anyone with a phone, i.e. everybody, is a potential source of info being distributed worldwide. It takes a shared commitment to discipline to maintain security.

This one -- cat Altair -- is quite smart for a kitty, but her judgment is terrible. Her sense of "adventure" dominates.

I carry this pamphlet around for reference, although it seems to be losing relevance.

Closing in on the window of time for cat Altair's 12th. Her parents were feral, and it shows. Highest levels of both "feisty" and "affectionate."
