That's crazy that people doubted it. Here's the single best thing, no foolin', that I ever read about writing. From Nora Ephron's "I Feel Bad About My Neck" (Sorry if tl;dr and blurry)
Was talking with a friend, who's also from Fla, about how everything's a rip-off today, and we wondered how much the dream Disney resort our families couldn't afford when we were kids costs now.
Pasadena Humane is having 7/4 weekend doggie sleepovers. Monica is relaxing in our quiet house till Monday. She's a world-class angel (so sweet she's giving us cavities) and available for adoption. pasadenahumane.org/adopt/view-p...
He's doing to our capital what Putin did to Sochi for the Olympics: massive corruption, massive mismanagement, massive disappearing of taxpayer $
And how did that golden toilet work out for Viktor Yanukovych in Ukraine?
Also called landscape staples, garden stakes. They're used to pin stuff down, like fabric that goes under mulch (I think). I got 12-inch ones and pushed them halfway down into ground next to fence in areas where animals had dug under before. Created a little barrier so they couldn't squeeze under.

Flynn took $55k from Russian state TV. He was a paid, unregistered agent for Turkey. He was "friends" with the head of Russia's military intelligence. He called the Russian ambassador to promise to undermine America's policy (sanctions). Flynn's one of the biggest traitors in American history.
Fun celebrity sighting last night. Saw Betsy Sodaro at a restaurant called Betsy (no relation).
Spell check in Google Sheets thinks I should change "potato" to "potatoe."
We've seen this playbook before, multiple times. When are people going to wake up and realize Russia is waging war on Western democracy? www.kqed.org/news/1121718...
600 goats deployed to #Pasadena for fire prevention, denying me the chance to say, "Only ewe can prevent forest fires."
