this motherfucker:
For some reason this reminds me of the story of Ferdinand the Bull.
Also, the kids are alright:

At some point, I do believe, I should be a guest blogger!

Love those Maine Coons. Just lovely.
Just invest in lint rollers.

That is the best ruff since ERI.

I’m at a weekend writing conference. It’s fun, but I’m freakin’ exhausted and it’s 9 pm on the second day.
Tomorrow we have morning sessions and lunch, and then I drive home.

Speaking of magnificent, I’m hoping Bixby is feeling better, and Annie also, and that Infinite Kitty is nearly home.

Ferdinand? No. My food or I’ma cut you.

My 8 month old lab found a treat on our walk earlier. He was tossing it into the air having the time of his life. He loves sticks but he doesn’t toss them in the air for shits and giggles. It turned out to be a deer leg. I stuck it in a tree once I could grab it.

Um, the 9-digit zip code is unique to your street address, be more careful in the future.

@Momus: It’s unique to your postal delivery route. I.e. your mail-person’s route. Unique to the neighborhood but not to the individual houses.

@Aleta: Charlie’s gorgeous. I also liked the photo of Infinit Kat, in mid-transport across the country to you. I hope they all get along when new kitty arrives!

Off topic, but I went to dinner with elderly family members tonight and they’re all gaga for Biden.
I think it’s nostalgia—they’re lifelong dem low information voters who have finally started to notice our political situation is dire and they want to revert to a simpler, more convivial time.
I tried to explain the current political devolution is due to republican fuckery and propaganda but they didn’t seem swayed. The politically disengaged don’t want to hear how the far-right got empowered and they especially don’t want to hear about all the hard and ugly shit we’re going to have to do to fix it.
It’s a form of magical thinking: Uncle Joe will pull his bitchin’ Camaro up on the white house lawn and we’ll all be transported back to the 90s.
That said, watching the Roger Ailes documentary last week made me realize how important feelings are for low-information voters. It doesn’t matter is shit is true as long as it feels true and makes them feel better about themselves.
We need to find a way to harness this blindness for ourselves—why the fuck should the republicans have a monopoly on manipulating the masses?

@Aleta: purty, purty pictures!
God, I miss Maine. May I ask where you’re at, geographically speaking? My folks had a house on Deer Isle, and sometimes I find myself wishing I had opted to move there rather than out to Colorado. (Only sometimes, but boy…lobster rolls. I could murder at least one lobster roll a day). Two of my sisters live in Biddeford and Kennebunk, respectively.

@Arclite: I don’t get the joke either. And the first tweet John posted doesn’t exist any more. Please explain…

@Arclite: @RedDirtGirl:
Based on my interaction with The Kids These Days, the full name given to the college was probably some variation of “Bofa Deeznuts”.
