These screenshots came from a 48hills article and I tried to replicate the answers with no success, but if this is what the Connie Chan AI Bot was saying, its incredibly distasteful and shame on Scott Weiner.
One of my cats is a stage one clinger and I figured out that if I pick him up and rub my face into his fur he'll scamper off for a couple of hours and clean himself. Gives me a few hours of quiet time.
It took a week, but Void absolutely loves this perch and has kept returning up there all day.
So we had some amazing berry themed foods recently and all I gotta say is the power of Berkeley Bowl will keep me safe 😇
My sister has successfully caught the somewhat feral cat who has been living in the backyard since 2019 and taken him to a long overdue vet appointment. He is not happy about it.
My partner randomly brought this over as a gift and tbh I never thought I'd really use it. But tonight for meal prep, it absolutely rocked! This is the best gift someone could've ever given me. He knows me better than I know myself lol
Whenever I'm not feeling well, Coco will flop down next to me which I appreciate because most days he will sleep on my chest but when I'm sick he gives me space.
I had zero knowledge of cats when Void came into my life three years ago. The best cat around!
Big news alert. The feral cat my sister has been taking care of for 6 yrs has finally come inside the house for food and a nap!!!
I didn't get to hit all of 14th st last night but after this rain its not looking great for this portion of bike lane. Whoever designed this put a drain in the middle of the bike path & during the day it was clogged n flooded. Its a mess and a danger to bike/walk through & inaccessible!
I'm not very good yet, but this has been fun. Started off with more flat objects and am moving onto figurines.
I am slowly figuring out how to make little clay figurines with kid's craft clay and I fear this new hobby will take over all my extra free time because I just ordered a pound of clay 😅
This is another picture, POV you're standing on the sidewalk. Bike lane curves into the crosswalk.
This is some of the worst of the worst that Oakland has built when it comes to bike lanes. Idk who designed these but whoever you are, count your days!!!!
Pacific Surfliner is stuck at Union Station and I've never seen something like this before. Rain is leaking through the entire observation car. "When it rains it pours.", the conductor said.
The only thing getting me through this week is the promise of foraging more mushrooms and seafood this weekend.
I decided to email them and hear them out. They just hate tall buildings.
He saw the bus coming and parked there anyway. I hate people like him.
My dad built him a little house in the back but Jiji will still sleep in the raised garden beds. This cat found the right family to settle down with.
My sister who has taken in a semi-feral cat this past year sent me a progress pic. This is Jiji, who was once starving, flea bitten, and covered in ring worm. Now he's getting pretty chunky and she's worried she's not feeding him enough 😂.
Conclusion of my brisk, rainy and windy walk? I am really happy that the city is building out more bike lanes and the city can do so much better than what they're currently doing.
