“I enjoy talking to you. Your mind appeals to me. It resembles my own mind except that you happen to be insane.”
- George Orwell 1984

Psalm 109 is my heartfelt prayer for all in the current Administration.
Ian Fleming wrote Moonraker in 1955, 20 years before Star Wars.

A man went out hunting w/ his dog, who scared up all sorts of game, but the man missed every shot. End of the day, both were hungry but w/ nothing to eat. The man cut off the dog’s tail & cooked it, eating the meat & giving the dog the bones Couldn’t get why it didn’t lick his hand in gratitude.

Bob Dylan said it perfectly nearly 60 years ago…

“And I hope that you die
And your death will come soon
I'll follow your casket
By the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead”

Because nobody is saying “All Jews are bad”, while some people ARE saying “All Muslims are bad.”

But you already know this and are using this terrible act perpetrated by two deranged individuals to stoke your Islamophobic agenda.

Please don’t.

I am this way with buildings. You can’t completely turn it off. Very much a blessing and a curse.

This is how it always starts. They (feral cats) call it “the take away close”.

On the next walk the gap between you will be smaller. Then smaller, then nearly (not quite) within reach.

Better start mulling names now (not that she’ll ever respond to them).

Congratulations on your new cat.

So True!

I make big commercial buildings healthier & more energy efficient.

The improv skills I learned in theatre class absolutely inform my ability to ask the right questions to quickly diagnose building issues & also to explain sometimes complex "scienc-y" problems to "non-scienc-y" people.

i swear this looks like a sculpture of demons dragging the Earth to Hell.

You can almost hear them screaming in agony.

Not so sure that “Conspiracy Christine” is the authoritative source for medical info you seem to imply here.

I don’t use WhatsApp.

Is there another way to communicate?

My favorite gift from any of my 4 adult kids is a sweatshirt with significance for them or their spouses.

Colleges, workplaces, cities & states where they live.

Every time I put one on, I think of them.

Truly the gift that keeps on giving!

I am expecting it will be more about pitchforks and torches than arcane legal precedents.

We are long overdue for a broad recasting of the concepts of ”shareholdership”.
