@piquant00 I just don't understand how they could vote for Vance over Ryan...I seriously do not understand the voters there.

@knomia Congratulations 🙂 I hope everything works out for you!

@readeratwork @HobbitHoleBooks It's such an excellent story!

@duglop Thanks! Will do! I really enjoy many types of music...most actually with the notable exceptions of country western and gangsta rap. Favorites are rock and metal though.

@karashta For me it beautifully depicted an era when it was possible for innocence and decadence to co-exist 🙂 It *was* beautifully shot, the casting was perfection, and the music used throughout was poignantly evocative of those times.

@Tarnagh Pretty!

I couldn't handle watching election results tonight so I ordered #pizza and hubby and I watched a #movie together on our new bedroom TV. Such a blast watching #AlmostFamous since it's set in the same time I was a teen..partying and going to #Concerts #RockandRoll wish I'd had as much fun as the characters in the movie but do have a few fond memories..and oh gawd the cars back then!! Made me want to clear out my garage to restore my 77 camaro!

@duglop No. We have a flood control channel and PG&E easement behind our house that gets rather thick with brush and some homeless person started a fire which quickly caught the brush, trees, fences, the house across the easement and the one next door to me on fire. If I hadn't been awake and actively putting water on the fire before, and even while, firefighters arrived my house would have gone up too.

@duglop I couldn't have gotten all of our cats out if the fire caught the house..we have too many and some are feral. Glad I didn't have to!!

@duglop Ohhh "red tagged" means not livable and brands are big chunks of burning wood that float through the air igniting everything they touch..like embers only much much bigger..in this case they were from burning palm trees. Some landed on me as I was running back and forth with the hoses putting out what they landed on. There were about 5 fire engines accessing the easement from my side and a bunch more on the street opposite my yard. Got a "well done" from a firefighter.

@duglop No way I could have gotten all of our cats out by myself. I still have nightmares about trying to save them.

@duglop OMG how horrible 🥺 We had a fire in the easement behind our house at 3 am last autumn. Fortunately I have horrible sleep patterns and was actually out in our backyard smoking when I smelled and then saw it. Called 911, ran around with 3 hoses putting out flames & huge brands and yelling FIRE!! None of my neighbors heard me and two of their houses were red tagged, one couple got out but their dogs didn't 😥 Hubby was on duty as a FF/medic 115 miles away so I was alone but saved our house.

@sistersib Yeah...Tuxie & CC were not thrilled by the idea of being indoors either...we have a heated cat house on our covered patio they can use in cold weather and lots of other hide holes on our property. We also feed the raccoons, possums, and skunks that come to our backyard too though the skunks have been MIA for two years now and I think someone killed them ☹️

@sistersib Either that or I'm just "touched" 😄😄😄

@sistersib Oh and we currently have possible hospice feral cat. He staggered into our back yard about 2 months ago..emaciated. Netted him & took him to the vet where he was diagnosed with pneumonia and FIV. He's on his 3rd round of atb (also had a shot at initial appt as we weren't sure we'd be able to give him meds). Took him to the TNR clinic last week and they put him on the 3rd round of atb & still not fixed. He lives in a big cage in our heated garage. He's gained 6 lbs which is positive 🙂

@sistersib We also feed 5 outdoor ferals 2 of which we TNR'd, Tuxie after just one litter, CC (her daughter who evaded the trap) after her 2nd litter, and all of their offspring are also fixed/vaxxed/chipped and some have been adopted. Of the other 3 the baby daddy is a big boy and trap wary, and the two tabbies are recent arrivals (one of whom appears to have had kittens about 5 months ago that just started showing up to eat recently). So 5 total to TNR yet...sigh.
