This is weird. It’s 9:30 pm
Edit: Now it’s Tuesday at 9:30.
Im sitting on a bench at Lake of The Isles after finishing my glass of wine and not one single mosquito anywhere. On the lakeshore right after sunset. This is weird.
I like fantasy worlds with armored bears and witch queens. The second was Oliver twistish and I was really looking forward to reading everything in this universe after the GC. And now I’m discouraged. Should I continue or is this just not for me?
Because I’m using Libby for audio I’m at the mercy of holds and returns as to what order to read in if I don’t want to wait several months for a book before I start the next. I know there are a lot of these threads.
I planned on starting with guards guards after small gods but I still have a month or two wait for that and Eric. I have several months wait for reaper man.
I have moving pictures, witches abroad, and lords and ladies on loan now so those would be my next reads. Is moving pictures ok before Eric? Should I read wyrd sisters before witches abroad? Can I move on to men at arms if I still don’t have guards guards? Soul music if I haven’t read mort or reaper?
The later books are much more readily available so rather than reading chronologically, would it maybe be better to read the witches/ night watch series all the way through, rather than waiting for chronological books?
Trey was having a blast last night because the crowd was singing along and the Orpheum is an old opera house and was built for sound. It’s too bad the venue was so tough on video.
This morning we moved a couch out to the alley and while handling it, noticed we set it on top of a milkweed plant and smashed it. We pulled it off and propped up the plant and saw this guy. My first on this property ever. But if I had to pick the worst and most dangerous spot on the property, or the one place I wouldn’t want him, that’s where he’s at. Right next to the trash cans and a parking space. He’s an isolated milkweed plant looking like a bright white meal on a dark leaf for the hundreds of birds that hang out in my lilac bush and the grapevines on my fence.
He will get smashed by the trash guys Thursday.
It turns out all the milkweed in my yard is different from the milkweed in my alley which is just leftover from a garden I turned into a parking space. The red stemmed stuff is what he’s on. It’s soft and spongey where the stuff in my yard is more green and waxy.
There are 3 other of the same milkweed plants nearby and one has been munched on pretty good with no signs of a cat so I suspect a bird already got one. All are in a bad spot. And those are the only of this kind on my property.
So far, I caged the plant he’s on but he’s almost out of leaves to munch on or hide under between the chomping and us breaking off a couple leaves with the couch. Will he roam out of the cage?
I’m thinking I’ll transplant a plant inside my yard but it will sag after the transplant and take 3 days to reestablish roots. Trash guys come Thursday. But he is a sitting duck for predators right now. What can I do?
*Pics of him and his cat poop I didn’t know would be that big.
*Pics of the two types of milkweed leaves in my yard.
*Pic of his environment by the trash. He is the red circle. The other milkweed are the yellow circles.
*Pic of him sunning on his leaf looking like a meal being the brightest thing in 20 sq feet.
* pic of his cage.
Beyond the political campaign, this man made national news this week for a pro law enforcement motion he made. I don't want to go into too much detail because it's not my story to tell and her accusation is going to make the news too. But I'm a man with no experience in sexual assault. Because of the ongoing law enforcement issue in my city and this man’s relationship with them, I don’t feel like the cops are where she should start. This is something the police and the public should be made aware of. Should she start with media? Should she speak to a lawyer? Maybe with a victims advocacy group?

I’m pretty over Lee Ann chins. Lol
The ink is dry and raised but spread if I try to chip it off. I don’t want to start wiping because it will color my whole seat if I don’t have a good method to remove it. Looking for advice please.
