gwydion* Best of luck to Australians, particularly in Vitoria, where the most fires are burning. Stay Safe, folks.
* House Republicans filibustered an extension of unemployment today in an effort to strongly punish the victims of the Republican policy of financial deregulation. They say they are doing this because rendering people Homeless does them a favor and because Jesus wants children to starve so that money can go to subsidies to wealthy corporations. From their perspective it has the added benefit of shaving a half point off job growth and further damaging the economy to punish the country for reelecting the president. They call this Christianity and Patriotism.

* Greenwick and I did some more packing and brought two more loads over. We then picked Djinni up for some shopping better done in a car. I pick them up early tomorrow for the Seattle trip. We are hanging out with some of their friends, then going to Night Vale. Whether I drive us all home then or we crash depends on my level of tired. I will likely need much rest Friday either way so if posting is sparse or non-existent, that's where I am.
