Have you read K-129 yet? I haven't finished it yet. Working my way through some others first.

Agents of Influence by Henry Hemming. This is a fascinating read that should remind Americans that we are not really an isolated island. We need our Allies & they need us. Churchill was determined to get us into WWII by any means. This book tells us what those means were. #WWII #Spy #Britian

Creasy sleeping. He's such a great little kitty. He and Bentley like to lay against my legs.

If I die unexpectedly from an accident, it will be his fault. A.J. follows me everywhere and is so quiet, I forget he's there. Three times today, I turned around and nearly fell over him. (His tail is blurry because the only time it isn't wagging is when he's asleep)

Tesla is down (as of this post) $137 for the year. That's 35% of it's value. The stock doesn't pay a dividend. That means you only profit if you bought low & sell high. I'm not a stock broker, but why would I give a company my money & not get anything back. I'll stick with my Ford Stock. Thank you.

Your cat looks like my Ebony.

Is it wrong that this isn't my cat, but I don't want to give him back? He's such a sweetheart. I know at some point, his mom will get better and be able to take care of him, but my heart will break 💔. I feel that way about his big brother, too.

This is A.J. He's been snoring and making weird noises all night. Anyone else have a Beagle that sounds like this? Also, isn't it creepy on how they can sleep with their eyes open?

I can't believe that no one has responded to you. WWII, the Cold War, and the New Cold War, thanks to Putin. Books, you say? Plenty. Some of these overlap - Sorry about that. I have more, but these are a great start.

I thought you might like to hear about the ongoing Ebony adventures. She broke my bedroom blinds. But, she did it behind the TV, so I wouldn't notice. This way she can hide and look out the window.

Almost to Union Station in Chicago. Wish I had video the graffiti. Beautiful artwork. So much talent.

Interesting fact: Archibald Cox, the first special prosecutor for the Watergate investigation, is the great-grandson of William M. Evarts who was Andrew Johnson's defense council during his impeachment trial. (Information from page 69 of Dark Genius of Wall Street by Edward J. Renehan, JR) #History

Riding the rails... Stopped in Springfield, IL. I must have been a hobo in a former life, because I love riding trains.

I have retreated into pulling away from politics for my sanity. I'll be back in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, here is me annoying Gracie before bed last night

Bentley is on the move. He's put his body on my ankle. I wonder if he's working up to sleeping on my legs

000

Julie Totsch @datagrl.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

Bentley no longer sleeps with his head under my chin. At 4 years and nearly 17 pounds, he thinks he's too big. But, he likes to sleep and touch me. His chin is on my ankle.

Gracie - the great Beagle hunting fail - is staring down whatever lives under that bush. I love that look she gives me when I tell her not to bring out anything. #BeagleLife

We had a chicken bone scare. Gracie hit my wings box and put popped my chicken bones. We couldn't find one. Thankfully, it has landed on the couch and not in her mouth.

Today, I had eye surgery at the Froedtert Drexel Town Square Health Center - Eye Specialists. Dr. Eric Habbe did the surgery. He called me to check on me. Who does that? He wanted to make sure I was okay, before the office closed. This is why you should always go to Froedtert for your healthcare.

Great idea. I have a keyboard kitty too. She sends messages to my colleagues whenever I look away. And, she takes over my chair when I leave the room.

Last day in the great town of Independence MO! Having our last coffee at Main Street Coffee House. Stopped by the Truman Museum and Library to pick up a couple of T-shirts, a hat, and a couple of books. (Only 2, Cheryl followed me to keep the purchasing down).

@jdickerson.bsky.social I'm glad you're on here. I just picked up your book, at the Truman Museum and Library gift shop.

This is the best pic I ever taken of Admiral Grace Hopper Totsch aka Gracie.

We went to the Herbert Hoover Presidential Museum and Library on Sunday. This the the Child's Bill of Rights that Herbert Hoover believed in and worked towards. Sadly, the day of Progressive Republicans is gone now. But, we should work together to make it happen.

I'm, excuse me... You need to amend that to include cats.

If his nose was all pink, he could be Bentley's twin.
