I read yesterday's post by Heather Cox Richardson which didn't contain anything completely new to me but was, nonetheless, horrifying.
I'm reminded of that old Issac Asimov quote:
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always
been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread
winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the
false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as
your knowledge.
And now for the pictures!

I always enjoy the photos you post. Just now, my Zoe was yowling over and over. I ignored her because she frequently asks me to give her a boost because she doesn't like to jump up. "Really?! You're a cat!" Finally, I had to go see what the noise was about. Turns out there was a squirrel eating the Pro Plan kibble. Okay, so Zoe had reason to alert me. Apparently sunflower seeds are the appetizer!
ReplyDeleteIn other news, my ancient cat Vinny went to the emergency vet this weekend. He had lost his balance and kept tipping over. I was sure it was a stroke. Nope, idiopathic vestibular syndrome. Apparently vertigo is more often seen in dogs but is not uncommon in cats. It should pass in 1-3 weeks. He's on carsick medicine to help with the nausea from being dizzy, plus ear goo in case there's an infection. Vinny is sticking to his schedule and continues to eat and drink. Whew! When I see his head tilted over to the right I imagine he's saying, "WTF, why is my world crooked!" It makes my heart hurt but he's tough and not giving in.
Poor Vinny! Please update me on his progress.
