I have somehow already reached the "not sure what day of the week this is" part of Christmas break.

I bought a Subaru last year in anticipation tariffs would raise the price substantially this year.

And now your moment of Mila. Here she represents my current vibe. Every day is Caturday!

And now your moment of Looie-loo, performing how tapped out I'm feeling after teaching my last classes of the semester.

You know that thing where students clap at the end of the last class of the semester? It doesn't happen that often, but damn if it isn't a special moment when it does.

And now your moment of Mila, who knows in her heart that every day is Caturday. Note that her choice of camouflage matches her widdle pink nose.

People around here are losing their minds about suburban coyote sightings. Meanwhile, Acme Co. keeps selling defective roadrunner-capture implements AND NOBODY IS REPORTING ABOUT IT.

Git along, little DOGE
