'Philly area has highest percentage of cat owners in U.S.

And pet owners prefer to give animals human names'

Philly area households have a higher percentage of cat ownership than largest metro areas

And I alone sit catless here;
Their very memory is fluffy and bright,
And my sad thoughts doth rear.

It purrs and pounces in my cloudy head,
Like stars upon some chugging hole,
Or those faint beams in which this shit is drest,
After the sun's turned mole.

I see them chomping in an air of glory,
Whose fluff doth trample on my days:
My days, which are at best but dull and hoary,
Mere glimmering and decays.

They are all Gone into the World of Floof by…

Got a completion date for my flat, it'll be sold just in time for Christmas.

Brilliant on one hand because oh my word has this dragged on since June, and it makes me and Mr Not a Blacksmith a step closer to buying our first home together.... but even though I haven't lived there since February it's very real now that I won't own the little me cave that meant so much to me while I was putting myself back together, and that has a whole bunch of complicated emotions to go along with it. I suspect a weird mixture of celebration and meltdown is in my future!

Police may have caught the guy who stole my mail-in ballot (if that's what happened to it):


'[...] had acquired three USPS arrow keys, which open collection boxes, outdoor parcel lockers and apartment panels, as well as at least 15 mail-in ballots stolen from collection boxes [...]

"In recent months, there has been a rise in crimes involving the mail, including mail theft, check washing and robberies of postal carriers,"'

Philly man charged with posing as USPS carrier and mail fraud

... or he could just be one drop in an ocean of delay, loss, theft...

Still annoyed with myself for using my minor toe injury as an excuse for not walking the just-over-1.5-miles to the dropbox... so much for Washington's troops marching through the snow with bare and bleeding feet (come to think of it I hope Elon Musk doesn't start using that as an employee training exercise...).
