Someone posted a quote from Samuel L. Jackson and I made a throw-away response.
He turned it into a meme.

It's up to (or down to) us.

While the rest of the country has been baking, my part of sunny SoCal has been dealing with cool, cloudy weather. My parrot is not happy, she likes warm days.
Next week she'll be happy.

In memory of my Little Man.

My animals are my support system - they provide 100% unconditional love. I've had the same two dogs for 16 years.
In April Little Miss' kidney disease got to the point I had to make the compassionate choice for her. And today I did the same for Little Man. My heart is breaking, and I don't know how to handle it.

It's the weekend here, so Scooter gets to sleep a few minutes later, but breakfast is ready when she is.

@actuallyautistic

I stumbled across a meme that speaks to me.

In memory of Little Miss, who lost her battle with kidney disease.

My dogs and my parrot are my life. They're my support system, my confidantes, my unconditional love. This week I may have to make the end of life decision for one of the dogs. I'm handling it by - not handling it. The decision won't be here until it's here, if it gets here, and I'm not considering it until then. The other half is dealing with it by falling apart.
I know mine will be worse, if it comes to that, but it's better right now. Now is where I am. Now is where Little Miss is.

Little Man has decided the best place to sleep is in my chair. He used to scramble out of it if I came over. These days he'll look up at me, yawn, then go back to sleep.
That's OK, he's a very old Little Man, he's earned it.

“I’m automatically attracted to criminals — I just start prosecuting them. It’s like a magnet. Just prosecute. I don’t even wait,” James said. “When you’re an AG, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the assets. You can do anything.”

I'm resurrecting an old special interest and making it new. As a child I wanted to put together models, but I'd get impatient and want to skip to the end. That doesn't work. In my adult life I've developed a love of process - creating a list and checking things off one at a time. I've checked off nearly all the things to prep, and in my time off during the holidays I'm going to begin putting together a model. My first as an adult.

Do you live in a state with a Republican secretary of state? Make sure you're still registered to vote. They've been purging the system.

@actuallyautistic

Whoever made this was thinking of me when they made it. I know they were.

That point in your dog's life when you know the end is coming up sooner than you like, and you want to cherish every moment, so you let him steal your chair for a nap and you just sit somewhere else.

Remember ladies, the way to a man's heart is between the 4th and 5th ribs, at a slight upward angle.

This whole thing about nuclear trains reminds me of something I got caught up in a while ago. I'm a Trekkie, and I ran across a diagram of a starbase, with dimensions (based on size in relationship to ship, etc.). I started a spreadsheet, it got more and more complex.
Those things are HUGE. 2,000 acres of parkland. Hundreds of millions of square feet in deck space. Nominal population of over 2,000,000 people, and that's with low population density. I still have it, somewhere.
