School starts here in about four weeks. My granddaughter will be a high school senior.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care! IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!

My grandson had day camp this past week. They made short films. Apparently, he was the main actor for the one he was involved in. I was not exactly thrilled with having to get him to the World Forestry Center by 8:30 AM and pick him up around 2:30. The roads in Washington Park are twisty and windy and narrow, and my daughter’s car is an SUV.
I succumbed to the lure of the National Parks Service merchandise website. I could not resist “Do Not Pet the Fluffy Cows”.
Something I’ve eaten in the past day or two didn’t agree with me. Or I’ve caught another bug. I don’t know; but I suspect I’ll be fine by Tuesday at the latest.
I would like a car of my own. I miss Squatty.

Love you guys!
