I should update that sons s/o family-they lost the house in the wildfire. Seems to have skipped the metal barn/shop. Last update was 1/3 of herd might be alive. But this is reports from firemen cause they arent allowed into area.
Grandma and grandpa are still down here. Looking to get a large rv/travel trailer to put on land when allowed back. Grandpa uses a walker so idk how well that will go. Checking sons stuff and mine to help get them started over.
Parents aren't talking to anyone since they were abandoned and left to fend for themselves. You know cause grandparents evacd and roads were closed so family couldn't get in to them. Arg

I’m so sorry AmyG. Losing your home to wildfire is a club no one wants to belong to - it’s indescribably devastating. I’m glad they’re safe at least. If there’s any kind of fundraiser or donations that would help, please let me know.

Oh thank you. This is my no make up, no shower face as I had to abandon my whole morning routine due to this guest. My no make up/ no shower face looks like a ruddy faced Colonial man who went to war with the fresh faced complexion of a small child but then SAW some shit and now can fit a 6 pence in the bags under his eyes while the worry line across his forehead gets deeper because the farm is def in a drought. This is very specific. And also describes my face.

notblanche cakewench blurnette989 OMG I love A Little Princess. I will watch it voluntarily as an adult even without kids around. It was for sure a favorite of mine as a kid. Fun trivia, it was Alfonso Cuaron's first American film (of Gravity, Children of Men, Roma, 3rd Harry Potter fame). He truly has a gift for wonderful cinematography. It has a really lovely score. I used it in ballet a lot.

Guys, I’m in a beach town in Texas and half the golf carts have “Trump 2024” flags. The delusion is strong.
I want to yell, “He’s going to jail, moron!” But that doesn’t feel safe. 😬

Got to love rural IL and being in the red part of a blue state.

I'm in Trumpville too and expected more Rump signs than I have seen. Although I've seen an obscene amount of "back the blue" stuff which may as well be Rump signs.
Also the pandemic is definitely over here, although I not sure it ever started.

There was a cop killed last month in a shootout where the other shooter (a black man) also died. People about lost their minds when the black man was eulogized, As if his family didn't also have a right to mourn.

We're complaining about 45 signs? My neighbor down the street still has one up from 2020 and it's definitely a conscious decision and not like they forgot. It hangs right next to their driveway so I know they see it often.
I've never actually met these neighbors, nor have I made the effort.
Edited because I had placement wrong.

Our HOA sent out a letter about pulling up political signs, so trumpers all put up enormous flags. My son is so offended that the flags are blue. Regarding back the blue, one of our neighbors wrapped their stucco mailbox with a strip of blue duct tape. We saw it on a walk, and the kids wanted to know what it was for, so I explained the blue lives matter crap. One of my kids was so mad, she yelled THATS RACIST. I hope they heard her.

Dc ladies. The wharf? So awesome.
Also we spent a couple days in WV and only saw maybe 4 Trump signs/flags/stickers. I was impressed. We have wayyyy more than that in our "liberal enclave" PNW

Update on the dog I found on Friday - he was claimed today by his owners. Not sure why it took them so long but I’m just glad he is safe now. And also glad I don’t have to be tempted to adopt him.

Our a/c has been making a weird noise when the fan runs so someone is coming out tomorrow to check it out. Since no one has been in our house for so long, I haven't been the best about keeping up with the clutter. I know what I will be doing today. 🙄

And our power just went out. 😬 Yikes! Did it come back on? Yes! About 10:20 so it was out for almost 2 1/2 hours. No idea why. We had a huge storm last night and everything was fine. A little cloudy this morning and it went out. Haha
