@GrahamFluster Aww! I love both Puffin and Pabu! 
My kitty (Skee) had a fairly long life but she's gone now. That photo is from the mid-1980s.

"Indigenous teen Keeya Wiki kayaked the entire Klamath River."Indigenous teen Keeya Wiki kayaked the entire Klamath River. It’s just the beginning"
"Ashland High School student Keeya Wiki kayaked 310 miles on the Klamath River last summer ...
The historic first descent of the newly undammed Klamath River by Indigenous teens captured the world’s attention and launched Keeya into the spotlight."

This is also why I have a problem with new emojis, especially a lot of the ones here.Thanks from me, too!
️I've seen several different blobcat emoji but I had no idea where the concept came from! I've never seen any of the original blob emoji (or maybe I have but don't remember, or didn't know the name)

Just a thought: How about we nix Presidents’ Day and make Election Day a national holiday instead?@fruitcakesareyum
The article I linked has a few details about that but for more info here's a link to the FAQ for Oregon elections website. I attached a screenshot of that specific section.

Frequently asked questions and answers about voting in Oregon, election security and vote-by-mail.

Just a thought: How about we nix Presidents’ Day and make Election Day a national holiday instead?@Strandjunker I'd much rather have a fully "vote by mail" system in every state than a national holiday.
That means ballots are automatically sent by mail to all registered voters. Completed ballots can be mailed back or taken to an official drop box. The system should also include provisions for homeless voters, voters with disabilities who can't use paper ballots, etc.
An old article on this:
Oregon already votes by mail. Here’s what it can teach us in 2020.
How Oregon adopted a vote-by-mail system.

This is your periodic reminder that ambulatory wheelchair users exist.This is your periodic reminder that ambulatory wheelchair users exist. Many folks think wheelchairs are only for those who can't walk at all, or folks who can only take a couple steps.
Wheelchairs and electric scooters are used due to pain, weakness, balance issues, orthostatic intolerance, etc.
