Tuesday!
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
If you'd like to be part of the Itzl Alert Network, please leave a comment asking to join, or send us a message asking to join. We'd love to have you. The bigger our network, the less likely someone will be stranded all alone.
It was 24*F this morning. Good thing I plugged in the water pipes last night.
The stars with unfiltered brightness on the drive in to work. We're at the time of year when all the daylight happens when I am at work.
I plugged in the sofa, too, so Xoco has a warm blanket to snuggle into during the workday. Itzl and Xoco cuddle up in one monkey bed for warmth.
And I will leave you all with pie, because pie is better than cold weather:
