Meadowlark 'Manda. She/her. I like birds, cats, and puns. Grant pro. Dolphins are the worst actually.
I will never ever get tired of our blue jays fooling our BirdPi into thinking we are overrun with red tails (once I figure out how to save the files for sharing I'll tell you more about "loons" and "pileated woodpeckers").

Here's the thing. Mondays suck. But Mondays where you get to go look at conservated lands and see your first shrike and get paid to do it ... suck less.

This is my Booger. He was the best of head cats and would wait for me every night just so he could snuggle. He was the sweetest of boys, even if he did earn his name. He will be waiting with a giant stuffed toy or sweater or perhaps some half-knit mittens to make you feel better.

I get the strategy behind Sand's approach in a deep red state like Iowa. This both sides crap will resonate with a lot of folks we need to take back the governor's mansion, and most IA dems are blue no matter who.
But I also really, really hate it.

UPDATE!! MY PRECINCT HAD STICKERS!! Apparently, people in my area abused their sticker privilege and stuck them elsewhere, and polling places were not willing to have voting AND stickers. But now they think stickers have been in time out long enough for us to learn our lesson. Anyway here is proof.

Waffles: You must pet me.
Me: Okay [attempts to pet]
Waffles: NOT LIKE THAT. I don't want to see your hand.
Me: Honey, you are facing me. Look, it's just my hand.
Waffles: [Sniff. Kiss.] Okay you are allowed.
Me: See? Let me just

Waffles: How dare you. [Bite.]

Plantsky, what is this growing in my garden in iowa? My first thought was a kind of milkweed because those pods are full of fluffy things with flat brown bottoms. But Lens gives conflicting answers. Want to know before I relocate or toss.
