This is the story of Mr. Toad.

Mr. Toad invited himself into my house this evening, and then he perched himself high upon a door due to a kitten who thought this was her new toy.

The kitten then meowed at her mommy when her mommy came downstairs. Which was the first time her mommy noticed Mr. Road's prescence.

Since Mr. Toad was out of reach of her mommy, her mommy attempted to get Mr. Toad to hop down into a box. Instead, Mr. Toad hopped off his door, where the kitten proceeded to chase him under a couch.

The kitten's mommy then moved the couch, but Mr. Toad could not be found. The kitten, however, spotted Mr. Toad a few minutes later, and chased him around the room while her mommy attempted to get both of them to stop.

Finally, the mommy yanked the kitten away from Mr. Toad, got Mr. Toad into the box, and escorted Mr. Toad back outside, where there are plenty of nice mosquitoes to have for dinner.

Since then, the kitten has been searching for her new, "toy", and not being able to find it, instead has gone to bother her big sister. Her mommy lives in fear that there might be a Mrs. Toad somewhere in the house.

This is Mr. Toad.

For the record, I do not remember Mr. Toad or even if I went on it.

Most people know of the Boston Massacre and Tea Party (all that lovely tea in the the ocean :cry:) but everyone doesn't know of ...

There are days of events with tomorrow being a parade and a road race. I ran in the race in the year before the pandemic took it over and tomorrow they burn a small replica of a ship in the bay.

Sounds like fun. (The only part I don't get is, why do they burn a small replica of the ship?)

Gaspee was a British ship that Rhode Islanders took over and burned. I'm not sure because it's not like they recreate the Boston Tea Party every year.

I lied....they actually do

250th Anniversary of The Boston Tea Party December 16, 1773

On December 16, 2023, Boston will commemorate the 250th Anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, a moment that forever changed the course of American history.

I've heard a number of companies are not giving raises or minimal raises at all due to current state of economy.

Yes, I’ve heard same.
During my review earlier today, myself and the partner that did my review (they trade off doing reviews) discussed as much. But, he assured me we are stacked with projects…55 just waiting to be started, not including all of them already in process.
And, he told me our partner heading up commercial projects says commercial is picking up big time.
So much so, that we can do all the OT we want at time-and-a-half.
Very grateful, and gotta’ do it while I still can…!!! :)
