19. Still reading Jess Walter's book about the two Irish-American brothers wrangling

with the cops and big bosses and working for the union in the PNW during the early days of the 20th C, The Cold Millions. It is an education as well as a pleasure to read this work of historical fiction.

On the other hand, I am wrangling with foster kittens that are getting bigger and braver. If it gets too quiet in the house, I start looking for them! Fortunately, they mostly want to play with each other and haven't broken anything...YET! We usually have them out on the screened porch, but it has gotten too hot for that.

Many thanks for the weekly thread, hermetic, I LOVE the picture in the OP and the sentiment is spot on.
