Sadly, that’s a misattributed image. It was taken in 2008 and the lightning scheme was tied to SpectroMagic, which was the nighttime parade at the time. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I’m very much looking forward to it!

Those poor kitties! How can someone do that to an animal they profess to love?

That’s good to know. I’ll have to try to dig up his address and see if the local ASPCA will do something. He’s too darn stubborn to admit when he’s wrong and I’m afraid everyone jumping on him over this has his back up.

Oh my! That little fellow is adorable! He needs all the kisses!

I agree. He moved a few months ago to D.C. and I know at least one of our mutual friends is trying to intervene, somehow, but I’m not sure how much can be done long distance.

Seconded! Also, many congratulations to your sister!

They’re family. It’s incredibly painful when we get to the end with them and I wish I had some good advice to share with you but I’m still grieving over my cat a year later. I just try to remember the good times and manage to get some comfort over the fact she isn’t suffering anymore. I wouldn’t beat yourself up about…

I was insanely excited this week to find out that Lil Bub is going to be in my neck of the woods later this year! Some of my friends think I’m weird for being totally jazzed by this. It’s been over a year since my own sweet Cat had to be put to sleep and that ragged hole in my heart is still just as painful as ever.…

I have never had as much fun in my life as that bear did in that pool.

Many Texas county clerk’s are ignoring Paxton’s implicit call to ignore the SCOTUS ruling...

I was surprised to drive by Chick-fil-a and not see the flags at half-staff.

Well, it’s certainly comforting to know that neither slavery nor forced internment ever took away anyone’s dignity. Historical guilt? Gone! Thanks, CT!

Your Dad seems kind of awesome. (I’m assuming he’s just cracking wise here).

Oh my gosh! Has anyone checked on Hilaria Baldwin recently?

Booze, and by extension the Food & Wine Festival, is about all Epcot has going for it these days, sadly. It isn’t as bad over there as TPFKaTD-MGMS, but it isn’t pretty.

Wow! It sounds like you had quite the birthday adventures! A lot of people I know have gotten a bit choked up at seeing things for the first time. There’s something that resonates with so many people.

Just to be clear, I’m not trying to cast aspersions on any group of people. Having said that, the most sexist, misogynistic individual I have ever known was a guy from India. We were in roughly the same social group (it isn’t that big of a town and I practically live at Indian restaurants), so it could be difficult…

I didn’t even know such a thing existed!

Ouch! That sounds horrible.
