The Daily Puppy Halloween Parade!
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The Daily Puppy Halloween Parade!
As usual, the pugs win.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
So cute! And I love how she was all, "I'm my dad!" but they gave her blank looks and she was, okay, "I'm a secret agent!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
A goofy thing at work just made me smile, but it probably wouldn't translate. I still smiled, though!!

In his workshop in Mekele, just 120 km from Ethiopia's border with Eritrea, Azmeraw Zeleke is turning burnt-out shells into cylinders used in coffee machines.
"The shells were dropped in Ethiopia during the war with Eritrea. They were dropped so people hid them in their homes and now they sell them," Mr Azmeraw says.
He uses old mortar shells, which stand about one metre high, to make his coffee machines.
He cuts off the pointed ends, seals them and puts holes into the aluminium cylinder. The cylinder channels the water, coffee and milk.
He told me he got the idea nine years ago when he was doing maintenance work.
"I saw some shells being sold for a different purpose and I studied them.
"They were used for washing clothes or crushing things. After studying them I came up with the idea of using them as a cylinder for a coffee machine."

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
You know how sometimes the sound that wakes you up gets incorporated into the dream you were having?
It was bad enough to be home sick in bed. I did not need to be awakened from a fever dream by someone starting up his chainsaw outside my bedroom window. *&^%$#@!
It did not help that today is the day after Halloween.
It seems work has resumed (after a five week hiatus) on repairing the damage to my upstairs neighbors' balcony. Grumpf. Bad timing all around.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
