Mrs. Lungs got a letter in the mail from a supposed British solicitor who said she may receive money from the estate of a dead Moffitt in England. Not only was the deceased no relative of ours, the letter had a Canadian postmark. 🤔

State Rep. Mary Franson lashing out at a Fox-9 reporter who asked her to comment on That Guy's "garbage talk" made for some interesting television. None of the GOP reps criticized the president, who continues to define just what Republicans stand for, until they say otherwise.

The free teevee movie channel is showing 2 unusual noir crime dramas, Border Incident and Mystery Street, both starring Ricardo Montalbán. He plays the lead in both films, as a cop. Mystery Street is the proto-CSI, as it focuses on police forensic science. Some grim scenes in both movies.

Morning newsies at @kare11.bsky.social were musing why mountain lions have so many names. It's because they are the world's most widely-distributed big cat. Their original range included much of North and South America, so it was given many names in many languages.
