I am protesting...

Today is Black Tuesday. I am dressed in black to protest the proposed bill.
"The National Press Club (NPC) has asked people opposed to the bill to wear black clothing or a black ribbon or armband to express their opposition to the bill."

Censorship reflects society's lack of confidence in itself.  It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime.  ~Potter Stewart

Bad Juju

Actually bad Jello! This was found yesterday in our communal fridge! Scary stuff I tell you!
My suggestion was we send it to Microbiology for analysis to see if there was some new species!
Sharing a fridge at work can be hazardous to one's health it seems!
“What To Do When You Encounter Jell-O: 
1. Never let it see you're afraid. Jell-O loves this. 
2. Smile. Say you are a friend, you come in peace. 
3. Reason with it. 
4. Offer it a gift. 
5. Find out what it wants. 
6. Let it see you have no weapons. 
7. If it continues to jiggle menacingly, Stab it to death with a kitchen knife and throw it in the sink.”

Awesome...

flying Jetman!

Yves Rossy has achieved his dream of human powered flight and this was one of his best ones.
He has done pioneering work and the technology he applies is just mind boggling, from cutting edge composites for the wing to ultra lightweight turbine engines for thrust and the control systems. Truly a modern marvel of technology and mind.
Once again proving that nothing is impossible once you set your mind to the task. Although one wold think he has nerves of steel this is what he said the day before when he called off the flight...
"I have a knot in my body, sorry for that. I’m human."

Kitty arrives spitting mad

This kitty arrived last night... Sometimes it is better to let a cornered cat be...so I spent part of the night on the couch until Kitty decided to move under the bed!

I hope we can get Kitty re united with the owner/s. 
The cat is very traumatized it seems, wish they could tell us what happens and that they can understand that we mean no harm.
UPDATE!
Kitty's name is Julie and she is back safe with her owner! Amazing to see how she transformed from Devil Cat to Angel Cat when her momma spoke to her. She had been raised by hand from day 2 so her human momma is her momma! I love happy endings!

"Often the cats who need the most affection are the ones that are the most difficult to love and scratch you when you're trying to pet them."
