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!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!

Laundry’s done! Yes, that’s my big excitement for the week. Even, mostly, put away.
I got in a mile and a half on Friday. My daughter had to get between work and doctor appointments, so she had the car. There have been several Fridays where my grandson got to go home with his best friend, and this was another one.
I cut down my longer cane, since the 34” was just right. I have a very small handsaw, mostly what it took was time.
Remember that fan fiction I’ve mentioned? I keep getting ideas — it’s practically a book at this point. Not a good book, mind you, but I’m still having fun with it.

Love you guys!
