It’s a hectic day here in the CatBox.  I received a text from Safeway.com that my order is on the way with a link to track my order.  I clicked the link and got a “tracking temporarily offline” message.  Fingers crossed.  For pizza this week, I tried Pizza Hut.  Unlike Dominos, which was fine, it was not edible with my stent after a night in the fridge. So WWWendy picked me up sandwiches from Subway, and they are fine.  Tomorrow, I should be back in the saddle, barring unforeseen circumstances.  Oh God, it’s Monday!

  1. I’m sorry Safeway’s tracking isn’t working for you. It’s one of the things I really like about Saefway delivery that no one else does. I hope it copes up. And that everything else goes well.

    Remember the CEO who cut his own salary to pay the employees $70K/year? Here’s a tweet from him (Dan Price):
    After I cut my CEO salary by $1 million to raise our minimum wage to $70k in 2015:
    *Our revenue tripled
    *Head count grew 70%
    *Customer base doubled
    *Number of staff having babies grew 10%
    *10% bought houses in high-priced Seattle
    *70% of employees paid down debt
    *Highest-paid employee now earns 4x the lowest-paid one, down from 36x before
    *No gender pay gap
    *We made it through the pandemic with 0 layoffs or customer fee increases

    This would be tragic if it weren’t so darned funny

    Cartoon – Too bad they aren’t barbecuing the rich. That would be a real positive for society.

    Blast – Yes indeed.

  2. Cartoon: Uhhh….nope! 
    BoC: Pretty voice! 

    Oh, I hope your order will be there for you from Safeway. Fingers crossed, most definitely. Glad that you found that Subway was suited for you and your stomach. I like their sandwiches too. Hope you have a good rest of your day, take good care, and Thanks! Tom.

But, sorry again, it is sadly no barrier to treason, ignorance, stupidity, delusion, ill-judgement and myopia, mental illness, bankrupt morality, BS speak, and any and all anti-American sentiment and action. Once again, sorry.”

    • TJI#2: Supports what Joanne wrote to me some while ago!!!
      TJI#3: Close the asshole’s account, PERIOD!
      TJI#5: Pfizer wrote that?  Holy Cow!!!!!!!!!   So, we can expect Trump to spend 200 hours in tweeting rants at them tonight?  “Oh, was that ME they were referencing?”

    • TJI #5 – Not their fault – though it would certainly have been wonderful if they could have.

    • WRT “TJI” – All of them earn an enthusiastic “HELL YES!”

  3. HAPPY SOLSTICE!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Hopefully, something with shopping will have worked for you, by now.

  4. HAPPY SOLSTICE.
    Will be looking forward to this evening right after the Sun sets to see the two planets Jupiter and Saturn nearly overlap, which they call ” Great Conjunction”.
    Cartoon: I hope not,BoC: Lovely song.
    Hopefully Safeway came thru for you with your groceries making it to your place at a reasonable time and that you didn’t get to exhausted having to put so much away all at once.
    It was like Summertime here today. Got up to 85. It will drop down by 20 or more degrees starting tomorrow. Talking about possible rain by early next week. 
    Have a restful Monday night. Take care. Thanks TomCat

  5. happy solstice, I hope you all were able to see the conjunction…..

  6. I’m sorry your pizza didn’t pass the fridge test, TomCat, but I gather those sandwiches suited your stent-dictated palate better.

    4:42 I just switched my mouse buttons on a dedicated right-hand mouse to work for my left hand and this is the result. Although I’ve switched before, I’ll never be as fast with my left hand, especially not with an a-symmetrical mouse, but I’ll try and give you a run for your money nevertheless, TomCat.

    Happy Solstice

  7. Love when now the days start getting “longer”.   

    (My brother [RIP] always pointed out the days always remain the same length – but you know what I mean)

    • The length doesn’t change the same way at, so to speak, both ends.  Sunrise will still be a little later each day for a while, but sunsets will get later faster.  I’m not sure how that works after the summer solstice, because I’ve never needed to care enough to keep track.

  8. Thanks and busy hugs to all. 26

    Sadly Oregon overcast is not conducive to Solstace and Conjunction watching.
