Pros and Cons

On Monday morning I have to have a little PROcedure. And honestly, even though I have a bit of anxiety about it, I’m enormously relieved that it’s not a CONcedure, or worse yet, an AMATEURcedure. 

Cats and Tongues

Cat got your tongue? he asked.


That’s the stupidest question ever
, I replied


Cats have no need for human tongues and such, but they might have my yarn.

Cats love yarn.

Loved this song when I first heard Maureen McGovern sing it in The Poseidon Adventure. Now, it holds a deeper meaning with trump in the White House.

OMG! It’s more frightening than we thought!

Good information!

tRump’s main goal is to destroy our way of life.  Regulations be damned, clean air, who needs it!  Same goes for water.  It’s all about how much money he and his cronies are going to make off of the U.S. citizens.

This is a useful record of the extraordinary steps taken by Trump during his first days in office. During the campaign, we learned that it was difficult to react to an outrageous statement because it was quickly succeeded by yet another one.

Our prime minister, for all his faults, is Malcolm Turnbull. Not Trumbull. Not Trunbull. Turnbull. Maybe Trump and co liked the matching pattern of ‘Trum’ even though it is not a matching pattern at all. Turnbull is not perfect, and Australia is not perfect, but it is a good place to live in.

Heads we lose; tails we’ve lost

Prayers are all past keeping.

On shimmering ad hoc rivers until they meet on the banks of a temporary lake. Golden clumps

Cluster forlornly in pre-spring purgatory awaiting the salvation of rake and wheelbarrow.
