What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

I really only have space for one cat and Homer doesn’t play well with others. Hopefully her family finds her soon.

While Mayor Frey and Chief O’Hara have attempted to claim that MPD only showed up at the ICE action on June 3rd to assist with crowd control, ICE agents certainly saw MPD’s actions differently.

In fact, the ICE Special Agent in Charge emailed O’Hara to say thank you that same day.

Title text: "ICE Thanks O'Hara & MPD" with the following quote below: "I cannot tell you how impressed my staff were as you stepped up and personally escorted that tactical vehicle through the crowd." Below that is a screenshot of an email sent from Jamie Holt, Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Securities Investigations to Chief O'Hara.

He’s working hard checking membership cards at Kitty Costco today. He accepts treats if you don’t have a membership.

If you’re looking for Covid shots for your kids.

I was ready to lie and say Asthma but they don’t ask what underlying condition. Pharmacist apologized and said “we have to ask.” When my husband went he answered “no” and she said “you need to answer yes.” He got the jab.

We had luck at Walgreens for my teen. Make an appointment online and simply answer “yes” when they ask if they have underlying conditions.

At least that long, yes. I adore this rescue and have adopted two cats from them, but I don’t think they do enough to promote themselves and their pets.

Clover: still available! She was protecting her kittens from coyotes when she was rescued! She deserves a safe place to call home!

I considered getting one for home use but worried I’d get it on him and then he’d never trust me again

The face you give your human after she takes you in for a claw trim and they put a spaceman helmet on you (I didn’t get a picture of him in the helmet because I was laughing too hard).

Minneapolis is a dangerous hellhole, a killing field, and is incapable of running free and fair elections. Sincerely, the committee to reelect the guy who's been mayor for 8 years. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
