I have no familial ties to Canada. alas. Even if any of the countries my ancestors came from were places I'd want to live, I'm at least third generation American on both sides.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
There's no place else I want to live, not really. I'm an American, and I always will be no matter where else I might end up. I just want my country to become a place I feel safe and proud to be in.

Same. The most recent immigrants in my family were Dad's Finnish grandparents. And while Finland is lovely and seems to be run by sensible people, I'm too distant, generationally, to have a claim.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
No family for either of us in Canada, either. Tempting, though, given we're 20 miles from the border and have crossed often for day trips. We can't do that now, of course. But as I say, we have no family anchor there, and I doubt they'd welcome us on our own merit.

If you told someone a decade ago that a President would be facing reelection with double-digit unemployment and 170,000 dead from a mishandled pandemic while he was working to destroy the Postal Service, they would probably think that they didn't have a chance at a second term. And yet it's starting to tighten and will very likely be a very close election.

I mean that's third leading cause of death territory and things aren't exactly getting better.

Oh my gosh. Very unexpected thunder and lightning here! Puppy was quite startled and so was I! But tried to reassure him its normal. And that we almost never get 99 degree days like this and it will be better tomorrow. Yuck!!

I'm really worried about Southern CA and the extreme and lasting heat -- people don't have AC there, a lot of them! Or, currently, jobs where there's AC to take refuge in, or the power is just O U T.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Well, my body decided I would be up early for my first day of work. Reallllll early.

Our wings are not tired.
Good morning, Dana! I hope it is a good day concluded with a good solid night's sleep.
