I've only ever been to the Sahara, but I hear the Atacama has lots to commend it. (And the Antarctic, but that's even harder to get to, logistically speaking...)

A bunny presents a lost egg to it's parent; a large bird sitting in a nest in a tree. It is a fanciful waterfowl, and the tree is sticking out of some water, in a wetland or coastal area.

FBI agents are not trained to patrol streets. And every agent that is assigned to do that is NOT investigating:

*foreign spies stealing gov’t and trade secrets
*foreign and domestic terrorist threats
*crimes like fraud, corruption, trafficking, and violent crimes (among others)

Do you feel safer?

If you've been waiting for the smaller labradorite pendants, this is your last chance! I've just finished and added these.

(I might get one or two more pendants finished in the next two days, but I don't know so don't count on it, what is listed is what's available.)

Current pendant count: 16.

If I can get the shop mostly sold out, I can take care of next month's rent without worrying. If I sell it out entirely, I can also replace my dead phone.

I've got 2 days left to pull off a miracle before I have to stop shipping to the US.

πŸ₯°πŸ• The street’s little β€œking” is here – a Corgi with a grin that’s half angel, half mischief. That bouncy run says he’s off to crash a picnic, snag a snack, or charm every heart. Weekends aren’t for rest – they’re for chasing balls… and stealing hearts! πŸΆπŸ’¨

Yeah JD, we remember. We will never forget your boss was best friends with the guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring.

And then that guy was "silenced" forever.

And now we will just not talk about anything else until they...
