The numbers this morning are horrifying. 15,000 dead, another 40-50 thousand missing. Between natural disasters and man made disasters the news is very upsetting stuff. Bombs in India and Spain, in addition to the usual places of course.
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hah! I just spent $10 on...something.
Ooh, that's so much fun! It's like getting a present from yourself -- and it's a surprise!

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I'm really tempted to try that Something store.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Odd video: [link]
It's video of a car ferry pulling away from the dock. Except for some strange reason, someone's tied a rope to the back of a pickup truck on the ferry, and tied the other end to the dock....

oy, yeah. This pissed me off more than usual when I heard about it. Come on, HUMANS, Nature is out to get us! Must we turn on one another too?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Yeah. This is the biggest earthquake in China since the Tangshan earthquake in 1976 (Wallybee remembers feeling that one over 1,000 miles away) - the official death toll for that one was 250,000, and the actual toll may have been up to three times as many. Tangshan at the time had a population of 1.6 million. (It wasn't regarded as earthquake-prone, so the buildings weren't built to withstand one.)

Art Crawl!!!
Exactly!
That Chilean volcano, the cyclone (and another is forming - nice), earthquakes, tornados all across the southern part of this country AND we've got to kill each other too.
