Losing our saving throw against the #cat-distribution-system. Neighbours have confirmed that he is indeed homeless. A bit skittish at first but now very sweet. Unfortunately, the local SPCA can't take him before November 23rd and we don't want another cat, too […] [Original post on cosocial.ca]

14 hours of jetlag is bad enough, but coupled with airplane-flu it’s even worse. Note the complete absence of deep sleep during the night.

One of these days, #Trump will pass out in the middle of an event while someone else is talking and people will carry on as normal. Until one of his cronies finally gets enough courage to rouse him up and they find out he just suffered a massive stroke and that “precious” minutes have been lost.
