Dog is in full meltdown. I think a little peanut butter and Benadryl for both of us and off to bed

The big shells.

Amazing how much the economy sucks, but people can set their money on fire.

and 2014 will still suck, except more of us got health insurance. We're in a sucky holding pattern until the next massive economic disaster and it's on the way since Congress refused to do anything to prevent it.

Maybe next time they'll have to deal with real outrage and will either act or have to face tar and feathers.

ETA: count your blessings with those fireworks. Around here it's drunken gunfire.

from work tonight & the idiots were already shooting them off (about 7). It's been going on all night long since.

I have to work tomorrow too & can't sleep, and neither can my dog.

Fog is so thick, we can't see hardly anything, but they sure are loud.

Kitties are hidden away, as they have been practically all evening.
