Me: "Ah, yes, you called saying that [Cat's Name] was having some respiratory issues?"
Woman: "Yes! Please! There are times when she really struggles to breathe!"
We get everything squared away, and the vet is examining the cat. The cat seems very relaxed.

My wife, my sister, and I are sitting at home, watching TV. Our dog walks by, chewing on her rawhide bone. (Note that my sister can be a bit naive at times.) Sister: What are you chewing on? (reaches down) Oh, that’s big and hard … Me: (to my wife, very quietly) That’s what she […]

It’s been a long week, and when I get off work, I feel like I deserve a treat. However, I’m also trying to finish a personal project, and my laptop battery doesn’t hold a charge, which means I need a restaurant with outlets available to customers.

My (work) laptop is so slow today. Maybe it's too hot (it's over 90°F today, which I'mjxkiy to find manageable with no air conditioning, but it makes myself known). Maybe it's also struggling after the long weekend we both had.

Dear Journal,

We were still above the clouds when I woke this morning. Nais brought me my warm water, helped me into a visiting gown, and then went back to her quarters to gather her own bits and pieces for attending services. When I was ready to make my way to the balcony parlor for the morning prayer service, I found Lord Elnaith waiting in the corridor for me, and we went together.

Good news includes all the things which make us happy or otherwise feel good. It can be personal or public. We never know when something wonderful will happen, and when it does, most people want to share it with someone. It's disappointing when nobody is there to appreciate it. Happily, blogging allows us to share our joys and pat each other on the back.

What good news have you had recently? Are you anticipating any more? Have you found a cute picture or a video that makes you smile? Is there anything your online friends could do to make your life a little happier?

So first, I bet you're wondering What's Going On In Rex Morgan? Wasn't Rex Morgan supposed to look weird? March - May 2026. Second, still recovering from Anthrohio and the split-flipper tournament at pinball league so please enjoy looking at pictures instead. This would be from the warm October day we went to the Spicer Mill for a furry meetup and the chance to see [profile] mystee and spouse and friends, and then head over to the Brighton Arcade.

P1130908.jpeg

But before we get to the mill, here's a picture we took to not forget some of the weird potato chips we brought back from our trip to Europe a few months previously. We liked the Grills Gerookt Fumé, like we expected we might.


P1130910.jpeg

And then a jigsaw puzzle update picture, this one a gift from my parents that showed all the spacecraft, boosters, space stations, and suits that had brought people to space. [personal profile] bunnyhugger made slight progress on it until specifically inviting me to fill in, like, the boring International Space Station solar panels and then I had the rest done in like fourteen minutes and was explaining stuff at her.


P1130912.jpeg

OK, now we're at the Spicer Orchards mill for the furry meetup, where I get an okay picture of some bees, [personal profile] bunnyhugger in outfit, and obscured pictures of everyone we came to see.


P1130914.jpeg

There was a natural photo opportunity spot that fursuiters flocked to.


P1130920.jpeg

I couldn't resist getting a picture of a windmill inside a windmill.


P1130924.jpeg

There were a lot of inflatable rides down below, as well as grease trucks. We figured to get shaved ice at soem point but a brief, intense rainstorm spoiled that.


P1130927.jpeg

There's a petting zoo over the farms too that looked neat and that between arriving late and getting rained on we didn't find time for.


P1130929.jpeg

I ask you, does this sky look like in twenty minutes you're going to be running for your car under buckets of rainfall?


P1130930.jpeg

Anyway on to The Arcade, which had the rest of the furry meetup; here folks gather for the group photo.


P1130934.jpeg

It wasn't all fursuiters, but they get the most attention.


P1130935.jpeg

But since it was a group for everyone I got in on the photo, and photographed right back at them.


P1130937.jpeg

The Arcade has this little fairy garden setting --- they still have it as of a couple weeks ago --- that goes unexplained except for, well, does this particularly need explaining?


Trivia: A pond in what became Hilltop Park --- the first home for what became the New York Yankees --- was marginally filled in by the start of the inaugural season, which the team owners had roped off and declared ground-rule double territory. Later they would try covering it with wooden planks or having fans stand in it. Source: The New York Game: Baseball and the Rise of a New City, Kevin Baker.

Today I reread Daughter of Smoke and Bone.
I didn't remember first reading it, I didn't guess the story, and it actually gave me the creeps most of the time.
It might be that I was Far Too Warm yestrrday, but I think it is more that the story wants us to see some sort of grand soulmates romance, but I only see Read more... )

Also I really don't get it when some story wants us to distinguish between lust at first sight and some sort of fated love. They know nothing about each other. How is that love?

Even when they get together I was just thinking he knows nothing about her, but then I reakised he knows as much as the readers do, only with more senses. Still seems more like a 'ask on a first date' situation rather than all that grand plot stuff.

I do kind of want to know what happens next but fear the story mostly cares about this romance, which is creepy.

I think I shall look the rest of the trilogy up.

Ever Restless Mount Dukono Erupts

In May 2026, the Global Volcanism Program reported nine actively erupting volcanoes in Indonesia—more than any other country at the time. Such activity is typical for the Southeast Asian archipelago, where eruptions have occurred at 55 volcanoes since the 1960s—the highest total for any country. Japan ranks second with eruptions at 40 volcanoes over that time period, followed by the United States with 39, according to Global Volcanism Program data.

Even for such an eruption-prone country, the persistence of activity at Mount Dukono stands out. The remote stratovolcano, located at the northern end of Halmahera Island, has been erupting nearly continuously since 1933, with near-daily rumbles and frequent emissions of ash and volcanic gases. The volcano routinely flings hunks of semi-molten rock, known as volcanic bombs, hundreds of meters from its vent.

This sort of activity at Dukono turned deadly on May 8, 2026, when ash and volcanic bombs rained down on a group of hikers. In the days following the tragedy, the mountain remained highly active. Indonesia’s volcanological survey reported an average of 52 eruptive events per day between May 9 and 16, with ash plumes rising 400 to 4,300 meters (1,300 feet to 14,000 feet) above the summit.

NASA and other U.S. government satellites detected thermal anomalies, ash plumes, and sulfur dioxide emissions in recent days. Indonesian authorities have set the alert level at 2 (on a scale of 4) and warned the public to stay at least 4 kilometers (2 miles) from the crater.
