It's my birthday and I am under the influence of a massive margarita. Still having issues with dialing in my sign for Saturday's protest--so much outrage, so little real estate on a sheet of foamcore. But I managed a decent picture of the black cat today while out enjoying the sunshine:

Good day at Golden Gate Park before getting dragged five blocks uphill to watch James Acaster do his entire comedy set in the persona of Craig Simons, a James Acaster tribute act.

Just checked the box of food color to see if any of the food dyes were not on the naughty list--and no luck. Red #3, Yellow #5, Blue #1. Sigh. I had switched to pastels with the idea that the bad stuff would at least be less concentrated--but it's looking like it might be uncolored stars.

Chicken vegetable soup, with cheddar bread. I cook, I bake, but I find the most joy in a well-composed soup.

I liked this so much I used it on my protest sign yesterday. A young man carrying a "Semper Fi" sign thanked me for it. Trump wasn't a conscientious objecter, he wasn't working in a strategic field, he was a rich coward--and it is an insult to our veterans and active duty military.

I turned off NPR. I listened to some obnoxious rock music instead (I rarely listen to music). I drove out to the Columbia Gorge waterfalls, where at times I was the only car I could see on the old scenic highway. I looked at three waterfalls. It was kinda great.
