> [@Senegoid](#): > > Have we heard anything of, from, or about DeSantis since this Trump Covid thing broke? Yesterday he doubled down that closing schools last year was a mistake and kids should’ve been doing in-person classes the whole time. So far he’s been radio-silent about Trump’s latest predicament. ---

No, seriously. We had those bugs in New Orleans; the cats played with the ones that managed to squeeze under the closed garage door – then ate 'em. Maybe the New Orleans ones aren’t as hearty? ---

These last posts got me to thinking about the panthers interbreeding with the herons and the next thing we know we’ll have flying panthers chasing the ATC-tracked palmetto bugs for food. Won’t have to worry about those pesky drones taking chix-pix at the beach anymore; the flying panthers will use them as chase-toys. ---

It’s a very … fertile … place. With almost no taboos; anything will f\*\*\* anything else that moves. And many things that won’t. ---
