This weekend I went up to St. Joseph, MN and visited my cousin at CSB. One of the highlights was the Maple Syrup Festival in the St. John Arboretum.

This strange feline visitor climbed up the fence between our house and the neighbors’ and leaped 3-4 feet across to the top of our driveway. It kept watching us until it turned away, jumped, and shimmied down the sloping concrete along the side of the driveway. There have been more cats roaming the neighborhood since it got warmer out. Our indoor cats are both horrified and fascinated.
I’m no longer certain if I have imagined you or if you are real. I’ve lost my place. I’m out of the hunt.
I think I fell out of the tree of life.
And hit every g-ddamned branch on the way down.

I am finally getting tired of keeping all of it inside and these days I don’t care who knows.
Hey, let’s go back to January: remember when Norm Coleman said that the weight of “disenfranchised voters” brought down his campaign website? Anyway, his dumb, unimpressive fake crash stunt left a database full of info on supporters/donors unprotected and free for anyone to download, including information such as unencrypted credit card information (credit card numbers, expiration dates, and card verification numbers) for people who donated online. Well, a couple months later, and now it’s all up on Wikileaks. As Aaron at MNpubulis mentions, Norm Coleman broke the law in more ways than one.
Coleman’s team is falsely claiming that there was a breach within their firewalls that didn’t show up on server logs. That’s pretty dumb because a) those types of things generally show up on such logs, b) it had nothing to do with firewalls but DNS, and c) if all you needed to do in order to obtain the information was to right-click and save to your computer, that’s not hacking or “breaching” anything.
I saw him in the old bird house yesterday, but he hopped out and ran away once I had my camera ready. (Which wasn’t so bad as I was worried that he was dead/dying because he was very still, anyway.) He was just chilling out today during the snow storm.
