gwydion* The Syrian government continues to claim the slaughter of unarmed civilians and their policy of targeting children for torture and murder is strictly within the bounds of the ceasefire agreement and UN s in general.

* They continue to evacuate pets in advance of that catastrophic fire in Colorado. I some of the areas, beetles have killed 70% of the trees. There is still no sign of being able to stop the spread. They really need rain. I'd send them ours if I could, but it doesn't work that way.

No sign of the freesia and the rest of the lilies.
* Fuck this. I'm tired and in pain. I'm off.
