Fishing Cat At San Diego Zoo (Taken 1.14.22) |
I was startled awake around 5 in the morning because of a circling helicopter and I never really, truly fell back asleep. It's all good though because I was able to work through most of the email and articles I missed yesterday as I watch Biden's press conference and as this nice man is in my house fixing the holes in our walls that were the result of upgrading our electrical something or other. Which also means I think I'm gonna call it a day here so I can try to go see the baby orang at the San Diego Zoo. I will do another post later tonight with today's news.
Stay safe out there.

- Politics:
- Just a little rant: I was reading reactions to Joe Biden's press conference yesterday and have caught up on it this morning. The media has long complained that he doesn't do enough press conferences, and then they complained that 2 hours was too long. The questions by the press corps were really fucking stupid. It is completely absurd that OAN and Newsmax are even allowed in that room. The president was coherent and to the point.
