My meme game sucks because I have no real sense of humor. I appreciate @mapquest.com providing the opportunity to demonstrate this.

Every time I try to get a cat pic of the Empress looking beautiful and dignified, she moves and I get this. The haphazard quilted trivet is from a sewing refresher course at the library a couple weeks ago.

Downtown Modesto through last week's fog: going for that apocalypse-core look.

The cats have, unusually, all agreed on where to hang out. The Empress of Fluff, top, despises the Official Spokescat (right bottom), yet she's napping as close to him as to the Public Universal Fang (left bottom), whom she tolerates.

Small towns of the San Joaquin Delta are the creepiest places I’ve ever been. You wind along narrow shoulderless levee roads to end up in collapsing, boarded up downtowns.

It’s not quite 7 a.m., and on RedNote I just complimented a Chinese songwriter for her acoustic cover of a Spanish-language pop song. I wrote in Spanish because I can plus machine-translation to Mandarin to be polite. Good start to the day.

Blue Little Guy, a frequent visiting cat, discovered he could covertly peek in the patio door from atop the AC unit. He isn’t quite ready to let me touch him.

The best thing about Rednote is that the U.S. tech & political commentariat largely can't join us. Their lucrative cycle of dismay ("FB is terrible! You must rely on it!") can be broken. No, the Chinese government is not propagandizing me with dessert recipes. Chill.

Dad came upstairs and announced: "I saw a cat who looks just like the Official Spokescat frantically pounding on the patio door." Me: "That's Little Fluffalo--" Dad: "No, it WAS the Official Spokescat. He's in now." He must have slipped out when I fed visitors. They rejected him as a pack member.

The Empress of Fluff is a multi-tasking cat: - Photosynthesize - Trip people on stairs - Watch “movies” (moving shadows on the wall — this cat lives in Plato’s cave)

Rural rush hour: heading over the bridge from Modesto to Ceres in slow, bumper to bumper traffic. Frito Lay has a distribution center in Beard Industrial Park, so that truck is inevitable.

Someday, the world’s most slow-growing pepper will ripen to red. Or it will rot first. I was out doing basic yard maintenance, with only one random neighborhood cat to help (Little Fluffalo, who let me pet him yesterday).
