Holding you in my thoughts, #Canada. Stay left and stay sane. The U.S. is a fine example of what to avoid.

At least it's not Beaver Feast.
I'll show myself out.

Oh, you can be sure they did! They probably figured they couldn't do anything about the name of the city anyway, so they may as well roll with it. Mathers seemed a bit embarrassed by it all.

Sorry. It was one of the jokes that went around during the height of the series. On a different note, I met Jerry Mathers at Beaver Fest in Beaver Dam, WI.

Ward, weren't you just a little bit hard on the Beaver last night?

I totally understand. I'm my husband's caretaker, too. Stay strong, but when you're not feeling up to it, take care of you, too. I think Summer must help with that, too.

Summer's best friend is fortunate to have you as his advocate.

Not my meme, but I'm on board with this.

Three plants, one big pot. This is the pepper yield thus far (plus a half a dozen we've eaten already). There's probably another two dozen on the plants. Growing good things needn't be a huge affair.

Yes, it was. It had chocolate malted milk balls in it.

Ahem. As one who has actually eaten schweddy balls, it seems inappropriate for dinner, but great for dessert. It's ice cream that was featured at Chicago's Midway Airport.

Randomly just got up, too, where is this shooting??

What a sweetie! You've got a moon thing going on there ... Luna, Apollo. I like it!

The #Columbine, Colorado's beautiful state flower as well as one of its worst tragedies. People died and people continue to die because the Powers That Be did nothing to stop mass shootings. It's when "thoughts and prayers" became a sick joke and kids learned "shelter in place" before the alphabet.

Boo fucking hoo.

I am livid and scared. My daughter, a library board trustee in her city, is being targeted by the Moms for Stupidity and their minions, including Proud Boys. She is attacked in their RW rags, social media and AM radio. They film her. It's no secret where she lives, where my granddaughter lives. I admit that because it's happening to my own kid, I'm more inclined to say, get the hell out before you get hurt.
