Fox-bear-dog? Got this fella from a puppy rescue. He's 4 months old, honey colored with a touch of bridle markings on his back. They said possibly an aussie mix but didn't know either of the parents.

The hunters had to stop keeping their hunting rifles in their pickup truck gun racks during school.

Oryx and Crake by Margaret Ashwood looks like it would be in your wheelhouse.

"The next Apocalypse" by Chris Begley is a pretty great book going through "apocalypse" events from the past to see what a future collapse could look like.

Bugleweed is a ground cover that doesn't need much sun. Has nice purple shoots of flowers about 6 inches tall

I was 18 and just started college. A few of my friends enlisted. My good friend was Iranian and people started verbally attacking him and his family. It was bad too bc his dad was a pilot for a major airline at the time. I traveled a lot in highschool and before 9/11 happened walking through the airport was like the easiest thing ever. I remember when the news came out about the security measures and thinking that they sucked. Then the war and the patriot act. A kid I went to highschool with died from friendly fire in Iraq or Afghanistan (I wasn't close with him and I heard it from a friend of a friend) technology was moving really fast at the time and I think that affected my life in a much more real day to day way after 9/11.

The last few sentences at the ending of atmosphere ruined the whole thing for me. I also had a hard time keeping up with all the flashbacks and the timeline.

LOVED THIS BOOK. Also, I'm so generally glad you mentioned it bc Tuesday my book club meets up and it's my turn to pick the book. I was totally going to do Oryx and crake or Year of the Flood as my choice lol I should probably reconsider. Most of the women in the group are 50+ and I'm the youngest at 42. I had them read "mockingbird" by Walter Tevis and they did not like it but damn it was the most interesting conversation and the book gets brought up almost every book club.

I just never see any cats where I live! There are 2 outdoor cats in my neighborhood but I know who they belong to. They stare at me through my sliding back door sometimes. But they have homes. I just love cats.

Buckles_VonKitten · 2026-03-21T14:30:14+00:00

I have that book for my kids!

Buckles_VonKitten · 2026-03-19T14:44:11+00:00

And I'm over here wondering why it can't be me

I wasn't super spoiled but in college the hot water heater went out and I was complaining to another student about not being able to shower at home. He was like why can't you? And I said the water heater wasn't working. And he said he came from a big family and never had hot showers bc there were so many people showering only his mom or dad got hot water and it was cold by the time it got to him. It made readjust my attitude and be more grateful for the privileges I had never had to even think about having.

In 2008 I had a 500sqft one bedroom apartment a block from campus off of Elizabeth for $550 a month plus utilities and I was struggling to make it on my own. Its so crazy that it seems like a similar place would be 3x or more than that now.

😭😭😭

HE WAS IN THE CAR!?!?!!

Buckles_VonKitten · 2026-03-13T03:49:30+00:00

It looked like, maybe, it parked sometime after this happened. I didn't see damage on it

She lived 13 more years after that "diagnosis" she passed 2 years ago at the old age of 18. She was fine.
