They must not have any friends or family to have such a limited concept of mutual aid.
Update:
Today is the first time since our water [from our well] was turned off that I don’t have to use a 5-gallon bucket as a toilet. Progress, of a sort.
W00t.
Also, when I turned on the bathroom sink experimentally, to wash hands, water came out of the faucet. Miracle. We are on a boil notice, so handwashing’s fine if I don’t touch my eyes, nose, mouth, handle raw food then eat it, etc. Showering with caution is advised.
It’s still fire season and the winds have been pretty gusty lately.
Fingers crossed the rains come soon.
My go-bag, and each of my family member’s, are packed and ready.
At least we only have ourselves to evac. No more pets or elderly family members.
Not sure how all my neighbors would fare, but that’s a whole 'nuther thing for if or when the time comes.
The new orcas.
Seriously, people are weird. From the article:
The first reported cookiecutter shark attack (on a human) was in Hawaii in 2011, when the victim was swimming in deep water late at night.
Swimming in deep water late at night? That’s just creepy-weird.
Cookie cutter sharks? Sounds made up but looks terrifying.
Caption: I’m ready for my close-up!
the report in the Guardian called cookie-cutter sharks “like pencils with teeth”.
cool!
hungry pencils with teeth
I did not realize penis dentata was a thing.
