I met a raccoon after the Super Bowl on Sunday. It was meandering around the house, using its hands to get into stuff, leading to one of the most Nashville photos Iโ€™ve ever taken.

This is a very good album overall i feel. I seldom listen to country, but when I do, itโ€™s usually the female artists. The songs felt mature to me in the lyrics and how she delivers them. Not like an artist finding their way, more like seeing them in full bloom.

Just imagine the song he's gonna write about getting pardoned.

He might even call it "Pardoned", or "Redeemed" or some other cool single word.

So far so good. Iโ€™m at the end of a run basically and about to start a new one.

Added some additional quests, some quality of life stuff, environmental graphics update. Nothing broken yet.

First night she did AMAZING. I donโ€™t think she got up once in the night. Second night she was up and down because the beagles were going outside after hearing things, so she followed.

Sheโ€™s bonkers! Has a two hour window every night where sheโ€™s a tornado in the house. Chewed up the doorframe outside where the doggie door is. LOL

Very sweet though. Loves to snuggle. Working out her place in the hierarchy with the beagles.

Wife has been out of town and i let her sleep in bed. ๐Ÿคซ

#YesYouNeedToCleanIt: Butts!

No, standing under the water in the shower doesn't count.

You gotta lather it up with soap and water. You gotta scrub your skin. All of it. Then rinse it off. Its an active process, not a passive one. You need to do this frequently and regularly as part of bathing.

The photos from a UN fact finding mission to northern Gaza which were part of a diplomatic cable suppressed by the US Ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, have been released by Drop Site News. These are the genocidal conditions in Gaza that Lew specifically tried to hide from the White House and public.
