In awful news, my brother's eldest son was just arrested after a big drug bust. Several agencies, couple hundred thousand in drugs, 886K cash found in his home and storage. WTF, man! That is a new level of stupid. I expect his 25 year old son was clueless. At least I hope so. I can't imagine his wife didn't know what was up. He was the only one listed as arrested. Just happened so I don't know anything except what the police department posted on their FB page, which my sister and brother follow.

Oh my, Laura! Best of luck with that.
Making signs for Pleasant Hill today. When people are riled up in Pleasant Hill, things must be pretty bad, and “the event is at capacity”

While others are solving puzzles and protesting I am reading and watching March Madness. The UCONN women play this afternoon so being in CT I will cheer for them. They have been a powerhouse for as long as I can remember.

First round over. Very fun! Jesse and Brenda are STARS! I am 2/3 of a star, ha! (I didn't finish the third puzzle). And now for food.

Mom drew an N that should have been a D in black marker on a bright orange background. Trying to think of a way to fix it

When I think about Pilates, I think about how my mom bought a tape and the Jack Russell thought mom was playing with her. Hil, I have a Zoom event protest today...would you like a link for it?(I could send it to your e, but not if you're not into it.)

Go puzzle solvers!
I'm hoping that the bakery losing the order for Mom's birthday cake and having to scramble to make it before close of business today is the biggest obstacle I'll have to deal with.

My father is dumb about politics...who knew a workaholic could be so damn lazy? (I mean, I know he's been about Making a Living and I haven't. And I don't mean to "blah, blah, blah" that, but a. I've heard it. Trust me. and 2. Allegedly, he's retired now.

Thrive to spite them
I did something today I haven't done in a long time...I went to the used bookstore. I bought some books. Including Airport by Arthur Hailey that was on the $1 cart because it was one of those books always floating around the beach when I was growing up and I never read it but was always curious.
Then I paid for my library fines and vowed to stick with digital media from the library. It's sad going to the library there are no displays allowed at all. Only new releases and anything about the county. (This was done so they could ban LGBT displays but not get sued for discrimination).
And M put together the strawberry scratching house for the cats I got at Aldi and Duchess immediately took it over.
