But then a LOT of my past jobs involved making Weekly Reports BEFORE I could go home on Friday, so Saturday was usually spent semi-conscious with my dog licking my face. Your Smileage May Vary.
this blog is part of my daily read, but this, about the California fires and burned-out cartoonists, is extra good. http://www.weeklystorybook.com/comic_strip_of_the_daycom/2017/10/what-journalists-seem-to-do.html
Did you know that this is the SECOND time Charles Sculz's studio burned down? In 1966, and he did some strips about it, with Snoopy's doghouse burning.
Don't remember why I got into the 'octodon' instance 6 months ago... maybe it was limited availability of the "cool" instances, or I just liked the part-celaphopod name. Anyway, I have just joined mastodon.social as oeswellfoop, just because I can and have no idea what I'll do about it. Maybe like past adventures in "joining" where I signed up as wendell or oneswellfoop or both just to keep anybody else from using the names.
I need to put more in my profile, I know, but after i fell on Friday the 13th and needed two firemen to lift me into a chair, i'm not fully functional. Just glad not all the firepeople were fighting the big fires upstate.

beware mastodonner party, I am back (and Arnold & MacArthur are not)
Instagram: My life is a party.
Snapchat: My life is a quirky TV show.
Facebook: My life turned out great!
Twitter: We're all going to die.
Mastodon: Don't worry, while we are on a quirky, meandering path towards an inevitable apocalypse, we might as well enjoy the ride and show eachother some love in an unorthodox, yet irresistible manner, not in any way hindered by considerations of style, identity or consistency.
"Tooting" reminds old geezers like me of a '60s tv cartoon with a character named Tooter (the Turtle)

But then, back then we also had Ruff & Reddy, Rocket Robin Hood and Colonel Bleep.
