Well, why pay 32K for a clone when you can adopt any number of cats much, much easier. You can buy any number of purebred cats too -- for MUCH less than 32K.
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But it won't be your cat! Of course, neither will the clone...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
From beneath you the radioactive snails devour....
"Reuters is reporting discovery of radioactive snails in the area where three hydrogen bombs were lost by US in the 1966. The radioactive creatures crawl up from underground, where authorities suspect deposits of uranium and plutonium may be located."
1966? Huh. I guess even radioactive snails crawl really slow.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
mmmm. I saw a great recipe for squash yesterday that I'm itching to try out, if I can find a nice butternut here.

Huh. Who woulda' thunk that few would be willing to pay $32k for a cat clone?
For mid-five figures, they'd have to be able to clone departed loved ones complete with their memories to make it worthwhile.

The future isn’t what it used to be
New book filled with dreams that never came true
...
Probably the scariest parts of the book involve glowing testimonials for materials that have turned out to be public health disasters. A big mid-century magazine advertisement extols the use of lead (“the answer to the old alchemist’s dream”) throughout homes, noting that “interior walls are beautified with white-lead paint” and that “lead is in the glaze of the chinaware and that of the bathtub and sink.”
A similar ad from the same era promotes “Amazing Asbestos!” that can be used for “roofs and walls and decorative interiors” and which “in fact grows tougher with age.” Right — especially when you’re trying to get rid of it. And a truly amazing advertisement sells Vita Radium Suppositories (High Strength): radioactive suppositories intended for daily use that “are absorbed by the walls of the colon” so that “every tissue, every organ of the body is bombarded by its health-giving electric atoms.”
Yeah, I don't think there's enough radioactivity in my colon... also, gotta get me some of those "electric atoms."

Swouncing
Fall is here.
We have scorchers, but they're the kind that lights up a bit in the evening, so on those hours it's actually nice to be outside. In Israeli terms, fall is here.
