The cats have discovered the fireplace. I repeat: the cats have discovered the fireplace.
(Also, they are starting to interact in a non-antagonistic fashion. They touch noses sometimes! Sit a few inches apart without a spat! Go girls!)

Great article. Chilling paragraph regarding JFKj's approach to the bird flu outbreaks in poultry in there. (spoiler - eugenics.) Do we really think he'd have a different approach in mind if it jumped to humans?

If Treelaw is more potent than 'desecrate the nation's capital'...
eff it, they cut down a bunch of trees that saw two changes in century already (for the gaudy parking lot that used to be the rose garden)
*I CAST SUMMON TREE LAWYERS*

My wisdom teeth were impacted, crumbling, and full of holes for years and years because we didn't have any insurance, let alone dental, and the cost to remove them was over 1K (so so much at the time.) I didn't get them extracted until I got a job after graduation and surgery was somehow covered.

All right, so we made it! That means you can see the made in a 45min rush with stuff around the house. There were an absolute ton of people there for a smallish town (not pictured) and so *so* much honking. Pic of sign alone to show the shiny stuff - traffic tape and glitter. Text in watercolor.

NASA has been a paragon of human progress, across the board. Space Force is a literal joke, but cool you guys get to move to AL to be laughingstocks I guess?
Educate me. One thing. What is one *single* legal thing Space Force has actually done that we weren't already doing?

I fell asleep on downstairs couch and the cat that's claimed me as territory (Lightning, upstairs cat, aka my brave sweet little protecter) came into fraught territory to find me. My SO caught the moment I woke up and we looked at each other.
My hair sort of looks like I'm close to Lightning.
