leave out the uninformed politics

Some orgs unexpectedly dabbling in the political. Disappointing.

Mozilla Foundation (Firefox, Thunderbird) – promoting unlikely unproven Russian meddling in US elections.

Internet Archive – elevating The Lincoln Project.

Protonmail – meddling in Hong Kong by donating to orgs there that side with US government stances.

halloween 84

Me, Halloween 1984, age 25. It was still early, but I was getting into makeup for later on that night for the club.

Bad thing about all that makeup is that if you met somebody at the club, it was real hard to get OUT of that makeup. It was a lot of work and messy.

the burrower

There’s a dog under that blanket. JJ, “the burrower.”

who wants cheese?

The dogs requested the Tillamook Cheddar. They no longer like the store brand.

Yeah, right. If I’m yelling out the word “cheese” while serving, they’ll eat most anything I have in my hand.

Huge sofa passout with JJ.

so hungry

I’m trying to recover from something, but…

I’m down to skin and bones. He won’t bring me anything to eat. It’s like Joan Crawford in the wheelchair.

“But you are Blanche, you are in that chair!”

I just hope we don’t have rats in the cellar.

This is a cry for help. 😱

my last day with all original body parts

My final (stationary) bike ride today with all my original body parts. Tomorrow a hospital will install an artificial knee.

For the last few months, I can only walk about 100 meters without using things such as hiking poles. Even bike riding on the street has become difficult because I can no longer pull the hills. I switched to stationary.

This has been coming on for years, so here I go! I hear the surgery is “not that bad” but the recovery is long.
