Spent some time at the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument enjoying the sights and sounds.

My cat used to be intrigued by the smell of coffee. But the moment she tried to take a taste, she recoiled. Here are pictures of a time I spilled coffee on my pants and she couldn't resist the scent.

Yes, I visited the Highlands in 2014 and made quite a few photographs. Here is one of them:

Charlie stopped by to visit today. We wrestled near the Dean's pollinator garden, but he got tired.

Theodora had a dramatic reaction to the Roomba emptying its basket while I was tending to her. I miss her so much.

My beloved cat Theodora passed away a few weeks ago, and the kind of bond that we had was one of the most profound I've ever experienced. She was my constant companion. I respect that cats aren't to everyone's preference, but they are incredibly loving creatures. She was everything to me.

Post a meme made by you. This one is hyper specific, but it was a big tragedy when it happened. I'll never forget the looks on the students' faces when they found out how much a bottle goes for and that it's reusable. The professor who told them to toss it retired at the end of that semester.

Meme of a man in total despair at the beach. The caption reads, "When you give a bottle of gold toner to a class, and they use it once and pour it down the drain"

After Theodora passed, the doctor wanted to make a paw print for me. Her front paw kept smudging, but she offered to try again. She was gone for a while. When she finally returned, she handed me a pile of prints and said that the whole staff had wanted to make them from all of Theo's paws.

Several pieces of paper with paw prints inked onto them are spread out on a couch cushion.

Theodora Maliga passed away peacefully this afternoon at the age of 20. I've been administering at home care for her for the past few weeks as her kidney disease progressed. This weekend her condition declined sharply and it became clear that she was at the end.

Wish I could make it! Theodora sends her best!

Theodora was hospitalized on Friday due to her kidney disease progressing. After three nights, she had improved to the point that it was safe for me to take her home and begin treatment where she's comfortable. I am so grateful to everyone who has supported her and especially the staff at the MSPCA.

I'm really proud to be part of this exhibition that my friend curated and spent years putting together. We're doing a panel discussion later this month!

I didn't know about this part:

In Japan, Bush was remembered for this event for several years. According to the Encyclopedia of Political Communication, "The incident caused a wave of late-night television jokes and ridicule in the international community, even coining Bushu-suru (ブッシュする) which means 'to pull a Bush'" (or "Bushing it").

This quote remains evergreen:

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

Interesting way for CNN to describe the violent abduction of a foreign head of state.

The administration has also pointed to increased production from Venezuela, following the US-backed transition of power in Caracas earlier this year.
