Save up some halibut bones in a jar

[sovay]

And then the end of the week veered off into an exciting and hitherto unexplored direction of things my body can do that I'd rather it not, which took far too much time and what we condescend to refer to in this house as my stamina. I went out and acquired an apple crumb pie from Petsi specifically for purposes of making up for the afternoon. My father e-mailed me about the record number of sea lions basking and barking on the floats of Pier 39 in San Francisco. a_reasonable_man alerted me to the contest to name one of Earth's quasi-moons. Of course I saw just about everywhere last night the news of all 34 felony counts, but I am truly charmed by the continuing proliferation of Mark Slackmeyer.

Given where we live

Mark Slackmeyer's definitive denunciation will no doubt be echoing around our heads for the remaining Usonian* centuries.

I have fond memories of opening the paper daily during Watergate, to see how Doonesbury had captured the latest outrage.

And of course there's a blog! Paul Hébert has been Reading Doonesbury since 2014. See his 2017 commentary on those three words' reappearance in print, where Hébert is too optimistic about a previous opportunity for justice. In 2019 he explores “Even Richard Nixon Has Got Soul”: Comparing Watergate and the Trump Impeachment in Doonesbury.

* Before Frank Lloyd Wright's homes, the 19th century author James Duff Law invented Usonian as a more respectful term that acknowledges that the "Americas" are much larger than the USA. Unlike "USian," Usonian is readily pronounceable.

I'd seen that blog! Then I lost track of it. Thanks for putting it back on my radar.

That, I am not sure I had ever heard. It sounds slightly extraterrestrial and I am sorry it did not catch on.
