So inconsiderate of them to let you down like that and then not do everything in their power to provide you with the promised mice pies! The customer is always right, you know.

The black cat with the demonic grin reminds me of Behemoth, the huge black cat in The Master and Margarita. Is the rabbit Lewis Carroll’s White Rabbit? Why are they sitting on toilets? I have questions.

Lilac bushes have a few green leaves and some red foliage woven through bare branches, AND some light purple blooms.

This poor deprived cat has never ever had the chance to eat stuffed crust in his whole life! My question is, why did he have to steal it?

I mean, potatoes are pretty great! The form I like them in would be hard to hug, though. And greasy.

I mean, it’s good news those people were sent home, I guess. How long will that remain the policy?

Oh, of course. People losing their healthcare and access to food assistance is understandably low priority when you have a ballroom to build. 🀬

Too many chairs and tables. How can you have a ball when everyone is sitting around at tables?

If gas pumps were out of order as frequently as EV charging stations are, I think there would be riots.

Left it as a tip for the barista, but I supplemented it, because honestly 43c was a pretty chintzy tip.

And you’d probably take immediate action to treat it if you discovered you did have it!

Put the cats in charge, Gonzo. We humans have screwed it all up.
