After experiencing the line of questioning about drug use in the clearance screening for working at the White House personally and the historical zero tolerance policy towards even minimal drug usage, I am guessing there were some pretty messed up situations in the 1950s and 1960s that resulted in that screening process. I don’t think what we are seeing right now is new, it is just really out in the open, where earlier ones were probably covered up like what the CIA was doing.

Currently negotiating with a high Rottweiler who is on pain meds regarding why we can’t take the usual morning walk to the park. She is pissed!

My Rottweiler wears the skin of the stuffies that she guts on her face and snorts while wearing it -- should I be concerned?

Only fiction going into my brain for the next couple of weeks to balance out reality.

Been reading the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) newsletter since I worked there a decade ago and this is the first time it got a danger warning in my email.

My random inventorying of federal government APIs over the years is feeling less crazy in this moment.
