Always interesting how people scream about cutting government costs until it affects government they want/need!
@feel_old I told my cosmetic surgeon not to tell people that!
Hear, hear!
Currently listening to Cream's song Politician. Nothing's changed since 1968!

I'm on a fixed term contract at my university. I was filling in for someone retiring and the implication was that I would be a good applicant when the role was advertised. Well, I just found out that not only will that role not be offered thanks to budget cuts, but they can't even keep my small contract. So I am going back to a sessional role. Now I am actively considering going elsewhere. If you hear of any uni hiring in creative technologies, let me know!

One of my fondest childhood memories was overhearing my parents say something while breaking up an argument with my sister: "Remember, small children make great soup." πŸ˜‰
@NorcalGma2 You live in a most beautiful place, perfectly appropriate for someone as beautiful as you!
It felt funny to take a walk by myself but Summer isn't allowed at the Humboldt Bay Wildlife Refuge.
The parking lot was full but the trail was quiet.
Fresh air was just what I needed.
It was like somehow the greens were more intense than normal. So many shades.
All beautiful.
Literally just down the hill from our house.
I filled up the free pantry on my way.
Leftovers for dinner and hopefully an early night.
