I had a very difficult day today. I’d call it a 2.5 out of 10. A lot of unpleasant things getting in my way… I need to focus on the positive and minimize those stumbling blocks.
There’s a little orange cat that I know who likes to get all up in my face when I have a ricola going. So, things Newt likes to sniff while I eat are – Toothpaste, ricola, orange tofu, and rosemary bread. Sometimes soup. Surprisingly, *not* mint chocolate chip ice cream.
To fend him off, an ice cube is often required. I need to post some new piccies of the Newtster.
I’ve done a lot of notebook writing, but I’m not terribly happy with the results. More practice is required.
The “local neighbor” I mentioned earlier dropped me from his reading list. I wonder if it was because I didn’t reciprocate (actually trying to trim my current list a bit…) or if he actually recognized my brother or me. It’s fun to track who comes and goes from linking. As of Sept 1, 30 have added and 29 have removed me. Some deleted their journals and then reinstated them, some just deleted and never came back. More than one deleted and then created a new journal when creepy-weirdies were simpler to run away from than to deal with. I can understand “burning your journal”, but I think that more can be gained by saving it to look back on later…make it all private if you don’t want anyone to read it. The flipside of that is the weirdness of folks that write purely for other people to read it, with no personal elements at all.
Nation states has been sluggish for the last few days now.
Got a cool Castle Keep and bunch of Star Wars Pez as a belated Christmas Gift from Dave & Cathi

A good idea: Pennsylvania takes DNA samples from people convicted of sexual offenses. As those samples hit the database, some old crimes are being solved. full article
