Wednesday!
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.
This is not a horse-drawn carriage, it's steam driven and pedal powered:
Is it not gorgeous and awesome looking?
This is the kind of bicycle (and it is still a bicycle, look in the middle, above the steam engine, at the bicycle seat and handlebars) people rode when going out for picnics and other country excursions.
If I ever have to be in a parade, this is what I'd want for the "float".
Edited to add: jan4insight is having a sale at her store, stop by and support her, she's a lot tight this month.
