I voted last weekend at the local Board of Elections and it took nearly an hour. There were a ton of people, but the BOE has their process down very well. I think urban areas like these are going to be pretty busy.

Everything in your home belongs to him, you just don’t know it yet

Vet visit scheduled for Tuesday. The online booking form asked for her name and I said I don’t know.

Here they usually clip the eartip if it’s an outdoor or feral cat. No clipped tips, though to be fair I haven’t really looked inside her ears yet.

I am seriously considering adopting her if I can’t find her owners. I’m very much a cat person, but I’ve never been responsible for one as an adult.

I refuse to let them own that symbol. Everyone knows it belongs to Pacha.

Cheese definitely needs finer shredding. I usually just grab a block and use the smaller shred holes on my box grater, that’ll get you a nice light pile of cheese.

How did you make the sauce?

Piracy ain’t stealing if buying ain’t owning, matey!

Time to dust off the Baby Trump balloons?

“Hey, got any games on your phone?”

Then it steals your phone.

Yet their Supreme Leader’s inaction allows them to spread and fester unchecked. Who is to blame? Certainly not Supreme Leader!
