I fought the lawn...

 


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. 

There's got to be a lesson in there somewhere.



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.
