I don’t take pictures with public officials while I’m working. If I have a badge on, I’m not taking pictures with politicians. I do meet amazing people all the time, though. Met several today. Positive change means doing positive work today. And then doing it all again tomorrow..

What you say is what you think and what you think is what you do and what you do is who you are.

Act accordingly or be judged accordingly.

MeanCat is an uncomplicated tyrant. A warm bed and a quiet house. History’s Greatest Monster loves his fluffy bed.

These two always go to either side of me and then stare at me like I’m home late for curfew and they’re not so much mad as they are disappointed but they’re still gonna ground me

Ahahah. I’m so stupid. At some nice event. I go to the restroom and use this hand soap and wonder why it doesn’t foam….
Probably cuz it’s mouthwash.

But my hands are minty fresh.

Home. And Big Leany has called a national security lean emergency because there was a shortage of leans this morning and the strategic reserve of leans is too low. So here we are. For a while.

Home. In time for my civpro class. And history’s greatest monster, MeanCat, comes off the porch for his patented greet-and-beat.

Whole lotta ‘why were there so many firefighters at the World Trade Center on 9/11’ with our disgraceful president’s pathetic statement about FBI agents responding to the 1/6 riot and heavily-publicized insurrection
at the US Capitol.

The logic of a liar.

Orangey sunflowers at dawn

The orangey sunflowers are blooming in October. Later than years past. Self seeded so that might slow them down. They toppled over in the recent winds but are still happy and blooming. It’s quite a sight.

When the weather turns even slightly cool, MeanCat, history’s greatest monster, demands his fluffy beds be brought out and positioned in his favorite spots.

Probably a mistake to have narcissistic billionaire children with petty-god complexes run the society and economy of a people taught from birth that empathy is evil and selfishness is patriotism.

Home. A bit weary. Luckily I have 7 days of schoolwork to do in the next 2 days…oh well. I can’t complain when I get what I ask for, since I tend to ask for the opposite of easy. I’m what scientists call ‘a dummy’.

After law school, only one thing is gonna keep me from prosecuting murders in my home town, and that is prosecuting the shameful federal ‘law enforcement’ officers who are so proudly violating the law. Save your signing bonuses for defense lawyers. You’ll need them.
