It is Law Day according to the National Day Day people. I find it ironic to celebrate the law during a time when the Orange Menace and the toadies he appointed to the Supreme Court crap on the law on an almost daily basis. And thugs in masks ignore laws on a daily basis and haul people away (in addition to killing more than a few). But we must have lawn and order...er law and order. Though the protect and fertilize part seems appropriate.
It is also National Space Day. I celebrated it by trying to sell a t-shirt commemorating the French space cat Felicette. I believe she was sent into space by the French in the early 1960s. They thanked her for her service by dissecting her brain when she returned to earth.
Though I don't think Felicette had much choice in becoming a space cat. One minute she was eating fish in Paris and the next things she knew she was stuck in a rocket and fired into space and then killed and dissected when she landed. All in the name of progress.
I think I know how she feels.
