Thanks for reading and commenting!
The anachronistic woman has five kids, and has had her credit card hacked, so, no, you were not the woman who came to mind. :) But you, she, and me would be good company!
Oh, the furries.... I did hyperlink to one news item about them.
School boards are now saying 'We never did any such thing!" in response to news stories about schools supplying litter boxes for students who identify as furries...
The furries are saying there is "Nothing sexual here! Bring the kids!" - but WHY, why do we need to bring our pre-adolescent children to Fur-Cons and furry festivals with these scary looking masked faces, unblinking, with a frozen expression?
These costumes...!

And this business of AI taking over medical records and diagnoses, news reporting, art, fiction, music -
I'd head out to pull weeds but the mosquitoes are worse than the humidity and poison ivy.
Snow, snow, snow, let it snow again, after we harvest the peas ...
