I need to do more shopping there. They have everything.
From Cat Lady…
…to dog mom.
We did the same thing when we put Jessica down. The vet told us that it was illegal, but that if we took her with us, she wouldn’t know what we did with her. We dug a hole three feet deep in the back yard (fortunately, it never gets cold enough to make it hard to dig in coastal southern California). But Stella was cremated (we still have the ashes), and Rerun was as well, though we didn’t get the ashes. I don’t want Ashe and Ember, now two years old, to outlive us, but I don’t look forward to losing them, either.
Anyway, Mary Katherine (who I had the pleasure of meeting about fourteen years ago) has had a rough few years, through no fault of her own. I’m happy to see her life back on track.
What Was Your “Woke” Breaking Point?

SF school-board member accuses Asians of using “white supremacy” to get ahead.
This is how you know that all the talk about Trump and Republicans being “white supremacists” is utter BS.
Glynn Lunney
RIP.
I think he got short shrift in the Apollo 13 movie (as did Milt Windler). Very smart guy, and he was arguably more responsible for getting them back than Kranz.
Mannsuit Update
Some good news: The judge has granted summary judgment for National Review. Unless Mann appeals, they’re off the legal hook. This only applies to them, though; our and Mark Steyn’s motions are still pending.

Here is the story from National Review.
Read It And Weep
Bill “Ballast” Nelson is going to be head of NASA. This is almost the worst possible pick. Is there any level on which this administration is not a disaster, with less than two months in?
[Friday-morning update]
Five questions that Nelson should be asked (but probably won’t be).
The last is the most important. He’s never given any inkling of having anything resembling a vision for humanity’s future in space.
