Wet Day was months ago, but six inches of rain in just a couple of hours has again overwhelmed our pumps and flooded our basement. We're still going to drive to KC to see the @cbbworld.bsky.social Ground Beefing Tour tonight. I'll be the guy with his hands curled from holding a mop.

My comment form on the FCC 19-41 proposal, reading "I am opposed to the proposed attempt to add a new layer of censorship to children's programming for many reasons, but chief among them is the naked, deliberate harm it would do to vulnerable non-confirming children, already at greater risk for bullying, abuse. self-harm, and worse. It is only being proposed to satisfy an opportunistic and hateful political agenda that is doomed, sooner or later, to the wastebasket of all shameful bigotries. But the people will remember who carried out these harms."

Well, did it work for those people?
No, it never does. I mean, these people somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but. . . .
but it might work for us.

That old Cat Distribution System found us again. Meet Bertie.

A twelve-week-old orange tabby kitten is looking at you while sharpening his claws. It's not very intimidating, though.
