I was thinking about Zohran’s transition team and today’s anti-feminist piece in the New York Times, and my mother’s book on the first generation of women to work in the city government in New York City.

It may surprise you but … while none of these furry creatures has moved in hour, one is very much alive. But I won’t reveal which one.

An old blue boat with two skeletons in it and technically rising up from the deep. The key is that here you can see one of the googly eyes upfront.

It’s time to go fishing.
An old blue boat with a googly eye, two skeletons of blue life jackets, sitting in the front yard one skeleton has a fishing pole holding a ghost bucket, the other a net with spiders. And old boat seen from the back, with two skeletons in blue life vests. The one looking at the camera is holding a fishing rod.
