A orange orchard

"Victor" is working in the oranges in Tulare County. "We're pressured to work very fast as they want as much as possible harvested before the rain. We worked more than 8 hours but did not get overtime pay. We can't speak up. We already won't be working when it rains" #WeFeedYou

My username was assigned by one of those random generator deals used by a freenet based at Carnegie Mellon. I've never changed it.

Ginger ale makes a nice accompaniment too.

This is why the Historical Office Office of the Secretary of Defense exists. I'm sure someone in the SecDef's office could find a briefer for him - maybe while he's having his makeup done.

6 March 1931 | A French Jewish girl, Esther Tukarski, was born in Paris.

She arrived at #Auschwitz on 23 August 1942 in a transport of 1,000 Jews deported from Drancy. She was among the 892 people murdered after selection in gas chambers.

Off to the side, u noes there's a national programme where small children read to Doggies? The Doggies have to be calm and not mind at all when littles involve themselves - my Boy Archie would not qualify. Our Boy Aelfrid would have done. I'll bet Argo would. U might want to check.

I'm sure whoever the Commandant of the Coast Guard will be happy to have back the house to which s/he is entitled. Deep cleaning is required, of course.

Considering the theft of my entire history website by AI 'researchers' I'd suggest that their subsequent ability to replace my work is limited in the extreme. I mean I was okay with Chinese adventurers hitting my site en route to non-restricted locations, but AI? Screw 'em.

I have always preferred Orange over every other colour. (Apologies to my Very Gud Boy Archie, teh white bone-mouth Shar-pei - and to my childhood black&tan Dachshund, Jennie.) Orange is Very, Very Gud.

Humorless scolds tend to be bots and/or trolls. Nobody loves them. Ridding oneself of them counts toward any time one must remain in purgatory.
