There you were and you STILL missed your chance to play hardball. Dang. So frustrating! Why don’t you hire some serious operatives to teach y’all how to do this better?

I would love to read that paper someday. I have a copy & read the book form of the dissertation by Katherine Ziff,Asylum on the Hill, about the Athens(Ohio) Insane Asylum where I grew up. My grandmother worked there many years and iterations later.

In the midst of autocratic take over, life goes on & still gives small challenges. My dogga, Zoe, a sweet rescue with a shady past, has finally figured out how to defeat the kitchen cabinet to the trash. Any advice that doesn’t involve mechanical ability? (The artist refused to pose.)

Zoe, pretty in pink.

Spoiling myself on my day off when I notice this new-since-last-time shop! 💙💛

This is in North Dallas.

Coastal sequoias. My phone camera was completely inadequate.

There is a book you need to read! Amazing to see your video of it up close. Visited the coastal redwoods last spring and my daughter gave me this REALLY good book! It will explain the life of these trees and why they live hollowed out.

About the only way I get a focused still of my meatball is to video and pick a slide, like below. I was going to share my recent blurry photos but I deleted them to make room for more blurry photos. 🤣

But God, you gave us the animals to be companions and bring us joy in times of sorrow. Zoe is here to brighten your day by being thankful she doesn’t have to spend this holiday in the shelter.

Funny this is my first real post on BlueSky & it’s a trigger response, but here goes.

Imagine being an author too busy & put out b/c a teacher encouraged her students to engage with a real a scientist. The horror!

So busy, in fact, the overworked woman ranted for several posts & blocked comment.
