THE BOSS IS AWAY THE CATS WILL PLAY

Or at least I will throw up a recent picture of lovely Circe for you. Look at those toe beans! Are they not the most amazing toe beans?

It’s occasionally hard to believe that this chill kitty is the full sister of the vibrating Quicksilver, but there we go.

How are cats?

Sarah will likely have an update on the State of the Sarah, or a rant about current events, tomorrow, but today she’s a bit swamped.

Hope y’all are staying cool enough this summer, or warm enough this winter, wherever you may be.

And the fundraising blurb, and yes, you lovely weirdos, Sarah does indeed see that you mailed unmarked quarters or put it in a different donation bin or whatever you in fact did do, thank you very much. Circe would say thank you, too, but she’s snoozing.

If you wish to donate: There is a Give Send Go fundraiser for this specific fundraiser set up. Here is a Paypal Me Link if you prefer that. (Yes, I know. Paypal, but for now, they’re behaving.) If you have a monthly donation setup to the permanent Give Send Go, that is still working and thank you! There are also two substacks you can subscribe to. One is on the side bar of the blog, the other is supposed to be a newsletter, as well as giving you chapters of the current work in progress if you become a paid subscriber. It takes cards. For snail mail: Sarah Hoyt 304 S Jones Blvd #6771 Las Vegas, NV 89107

And if you want to read the whole appeal, it’s here: Toss A Coin To Your Blogger, Oh Readers of Plenty.

  2. My first thought from the title in my inbox – Honestly, would not surprise me some day to see Indy posting here f’real.

  4. Forecast is for highs in the upper 90s this afternoon in Silicon Valley, but at least the monsoonal surge yesterday and its humidity have departed.

    An acquaintance is so far batting a thousand on his February prediction for measurable rainfall at least once every month this year, even though such is distinctly atypical for us – rain season normally runs from Oct.-Nov. through Mar.-Apr. with absolute dry weather the rest of the year, but with the few drops we got yesterday we have yet to see a completely dry month.

    And with the extraordinary El Niño building in the Pacific I am expecting a wet winter.

    Which of course is a catastrophic piece of evidence that we need to sacrifice more to the dirt goddess.

    1. Some of that moisture hit Very Southern Oregon, but the slight chance of thunderboomies haven’t appeared yet. OTOH, our last one started at 9 PM, complete with a two hour power outage and a most impressive lightning storm, followed immediately by a 1″ dump of water.

      We’re considered “arid” in Flyover County, and between the 4″ we got around Memorial Day and the July 5th one-incher, our grasses might stay greenish for a while. I’m wondering what we’ll get for Labor Day.

      El Nino isn’t always wet for us, but warmer winters sound good. Haven’t had -28F in over a dozen years, and I’d be happy to keep it that way. The Intermountain West gets interesting weather. Frequently in the Chinese sense.

    2. We’ve been humid again this summer, which is a little odd. Got 2.15” in 40 minutes on Sunday afternoon. The fish rejoiced and set aside their SCOLBA [self-contained on land breathing apparatus] for a while. Cars swam in the usual places.

      Part of me wants a good El Niño winter with lots of snow. The rest of me looks at the snow shovel, and the mess of on-line teaching, and slaps the snow-eager bit silly.

      1. They are trying to come up with what comes out higher than “strong” El Niño, with kaiju prominent in the names so far.

      2. Unexpected snow dump? No. Not if it is *1969 version. No. Nope. NO!!!!

        I do not want to be hoofing it over to mom’s to deal with a wet snow and a flat roof.

        (*) 4 feet of very wet snow. Had mom, dad, and me, on the roof shoving snow off that roof. Snow around the house, where it piled, was present until May.

      3. We hit 100+° last week, and on the highway the car registered 105°. My nice Nikon cameras are limited to 104°, which os an even 40° Celsius. Then we had rain that flash-flooded not the streams and true low places, but local depressions where the storm sewers were running out the catch basins.

        More of the 100°+ Wednesday and Thursday …

  5. Dropped a bit into the fundraiser last night. Prayers up for Sarah, Dan, and the family.

  7. Apropos of nothing, I managed to pull a muscle in my chest yesterday while reading and petting Jase T. Cat. I have no idea how.

    Typical Red family luck, I suppose.

      1. No. The fat book was in my Kindle, and the cat was in my lap. I have no clue. I didn’t read the hard-copy fat book yesterday, because I was doing research.
