sigh ... I had one of the early Barbies - blonde ponytail, blue eyeshadow. My mother threw it away (although ... a year or so later she found out the thing was worth real money and has been regretting it ever since).
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

Yay! We have a diagnosis! Pico has a retrobulbar abcess, which is an abcess behind the eye, making it painful to open his mouth. They are apparently pretty rare in cats. They've given him an agressive course of antibiotics, and they are hoping they won't have to drain it, because that will require anathesia.

Hurrah for Pico with a treatable diagnosis!

I have to say, it is lovely sitting here on my front porch right now -- nice breeze, happy puppy playing in the yard (translation: puppy is digging up my garden and I'm pretending not to see her)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I just made dinner from CSA vegetables. Pac choi, garlic scapes, carrots, and tofu stir-fry, with scallions sprinkled on top and brown rice. Pretty good, though I put in a bit too much soy sauce and it ended up too salty. Now I'm deciding between yogurt with strawberries or a frozen mango pop for dessert.

It's cooled off some (84), but the humidity has dipped, probably into the 20s. It's so mellow out here that I'm ready to move a cot out and sleep. If only the skunks didn't regularly trundle through the yard in the wee hours....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Spear and magic helmet?
