Whole lotta ‘why were there so many firefighters at the World Trade Center on 9/11’ with our disgraceful president’s pathetic statement about FBI agents responding to the 1/6 riot and heavily-publicized insurrection
at the US Capitol.

The logic of a liar.

The orangey sunflowers are blooming in October. Later than years past. Self seeded so that might slow them down. They toppled over in the recent winds but are still happy and blooming. It’s quite a sight.

When the weather turns even slightly cool, MeanCat, history’s greatest monster, demands his fluffy beds be brought out and positioned in his favorite spots.

Probably a mistake to have narcissistic billionaire children with petty-god complexes run the society and economy of a people taught from birth that empathy is evil and selfishness is patriotism.

Home. A bit weary. Luckily I have 7 days of schoolwork to do in the next 2 days…oh well. I can’t complain when I get what I ask for, since I tend to ask for the opposite of easy. I’m what scientists call ‘a dummy’.

After law school, only one thing is gonna keep me from prosecuting murders in my home town, and that is prosecuting the shameful federal ‘law enforcement’ officers who are so proudly violating the law. Save your signing bonuses for defense lawyers. You’ll need them.

Oh yeah. He came streaking into the kitchen while I was making the pho. He actually meowed a few times, which he rarely does. So I toweled him off and gave him lunch. He’s now sleeping behind the dyer in his favorite warm storm spot.

Done and done. Toppings are: cilantro, bean sprouts, jalapeño, scallions, limes, (Theresa added cherry tomatoes), and maybe peanuts. With 3mm pho noodles soaked in boiling water for 15 minutes. A fantastic lunch. Big-but-somehow-still-subtle flavors.
