I'm always in the middle of a diary post, so I'll get that up at some point, but for now, let's just try and get excited for post-Independence Day July, because now that the holiday weekend is gone (where we smartly hid away from tourists and traffic at the Kumeyaay Lake Campground), we can take a breather and then get ready for Pride (in spite of controversy) and Comic-Con! My inbox is starting to fill up on the daily with CCI activations, products, and events, so per usual, I'm trying to filter through to make sure I cover all the events, while I leave all the collectibles and products and publishing to the devoted sites that know way more about all those things. In the meantime, it's hot, so find some time to check out your favorite beach or shady hike or do like I do, and hide at the zoo among the lush botanical collection that keeps the temperature about 10-15 degrees cooler than everywhere else in the County. 

Stay safe out there. Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.

If I try to just keep keeping up with the news, this post will just never get published, so here we are at the end of June and there's SO MUCH HAPPENING, in case you weren't aware by the dozens of emails from your favorite organizations asking for money for the end of their fiscal year and beginning of a new one. It's pretty atrocious out in this world right now, so I've been trying to find joy in my little bubble, but even then, now we have to think about the madness happening across all three branches of our federal government and the reverberations that is causing across the country, our state, and our region and man, it's fucking dire... But we are mere humans and only have the capacity for so much dread, so please do what it takes to find your own joy. For me, that has continued to be in photography and music and my zoo time, my Seaworld time, going to La Jolla Cove super late at night, shopping when I need nothing, and time with Darren and family when our schedules allow. 

Stay safe out there. C-19 is seeing a resurgence and they're calling a symptom "razorblade throat", so do your damnedest to steer clear. Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.
