Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced plans for a special $6 million police force (answerable to him) to combat the election crime he believes is rampant in the state; the Supreme Court has allowed the release of presidential documents sought by the January 6th committee ... the only justice voting against the release was Clarence Thomas, whose wife - oddly enough - supported the events of that day; among the documents provided by the National Archives to the January 6th Commission following the Supreme Court decision is a draft executive order with which Der Furor sought to use the National Guard to seize voting machines and records nationwide to keep himself in office; a German probe commissioned by the Catholic Church has alleged that Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI failed to act on four child abuse cases while he was archbishop of Munich; and in Turkey, a junk collector looking to sell about 70 tons of iron has been arrested and charged with stealing a 500 meter (1,640 foot) long bridge over a period of four days.

Medusa at the veterinarian's ...

Ah, yes - she really is ...

I haven't done any dating for a long, long time, but I know it can be difficult even if you don't have an odd hair problem ...

Twenty-first century problems are worse for some people than for others ...

Medusa's beauty routine included some tricky parts ...

Medusa in 2022 ...

Have a good day and a great weekend. Stay warm, and watch out for women with sinuous hair.

More thoughts coming.
