Congrats! You’ve been chosen by The Cat Selection Committee. No one knows where it’s located or how it operates. But that’s essentially how we were chosen by Tuga and Fluff when we moved into this house.

One hundred percent. My current V was rehomed to us because “she had behavioral issues and peed everywhere.” She’s a senior Vizsla who was kept in a crate 12 hours of every waking day… my sweet baby Lilly you are home now and get walkies and cuddles and you’re now 13+ years young.

The Doves did it again: 130 aircraft bringing 800+ athletes to the Special Olympics Games in St. Paul. They went home, some w medals but all w a smile in their hearts. More than 200 TextAv people supported the mission. Honored to make it my fifth. Be human. Look for the good. Russ would be proud.

No Kings in Hagerstown today. It took on additional urgency as our city “leaders” voted to approve a warehouse slated for a handful of workers to corral up to 1,500 humans—without public review. People are pissed and pushing back in numbers. #indivisible #nokings #maryland

One thing that stands out on this trip: Fewer folks smoke but they’ve replaced it with vaping in the outdoor tables at cafés across Paris. My sweet lord, I would rather have the funk of Gaulois any day over some cheeky thing blowing cotton candy fumes in my face. Blurghhh.
