Itzl Alert Network: Tuesday, 7th of January, 2025: Chapter 2 [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']
Date: 2025-01-06
The IAN diary I posted last week was Chapter One.
Time to work on Chapter 2.
The little dog is named Itzl. 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, wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off Daily Kos. If you're not here, or anywhere else on Daily Kos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we 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! This is our current schedule of regular IAN diary writers: Monday: Youffraita Tuesday: bigjacbigjacbigjac Wednesday: Pam from Calif Thursday: art ah zen Friday: FloridaSNMOM Saturday: FloridaSNDad Sunday: loggersbrat
I want to include pets in my fictional trip to Wyoming.
I watch Beau of the Fifth Column every day.
His wife, “Belle” has taken over lately.
(Beau and Belle are not their real names.)
One video I saw a while back had Beau and one of his horses in the video.
The horse was very affectionate.
I failed to find that particular video, so here is a nice video of another very affectionate horse:
Pets can act so charming and loving, including horses.
Here is Beau, in case you do not know what he looks like:
I think that was the last video he posted, before handing over the on-camera duties to his wife:
So, now you have the pictures of Beau, Belle, and a horse similar to one of their horses.
All three of them will go to the home of the Florida Family.
Beau is a Trekkie, so he and Nizz will have a lot to talk about.
Everyone will get to meet the horse, as well.
Okay, the horse will be escorted to Wyoming by the adult daughter of Beau and Bell, Dee.
Dee and her husband, Billy, will hitch up their Ford F-150 truck to a horse trailer, load up the friendly horse, and head towards Wyoming on the highways of America.
Nowadays, with the internet, they have set up a series of horse-hosting locations.
Like a series of air B&Bs for the horse.
Beau and Belle will escort the Florida Family to the Amtrak train station.
I picture two minivans, equipped to take wheelchairs.
Nizz and Beau and Bell in one minivan, and Mom and Draco and Bit in the other.
Also, the Florida Family will load up all their dogs and cats, in carriers.
They will all get spayed and neutered before this trip.
The horse and the dogs and cats will all have signs on them or on their pet carriers, saying:
Vote Blue, No Matter Who!
The folks in Wyoming will fall in love with the pets, and soften their Republican resistance, and consider voting for Democrats.
And all this door knocking interaction will be recorded and posted on YouTube.
Our princessdecoco will board the Amtrak train as well.
She will say hi to all the humans and pets.
Now the Amtrak train is headed north.
Look at the Amtrak map:

I am supposing that the Florida Family and the Beau and Belle family and princessdecoco will all board the Amtrak train somewhere between Orlando and Jacksonville.
At Savannah, Georgia, a little way down the train tracks heading north, I am adding a Georgia Democratic celebrity:
en.wikipedia.org/…
She looks similar to Tonia.
Hey, check this out:
Abrams is an author of both fiction and nonfiction. Her nonfiction books, Our Time Is Now and Lead from the Outside, were New York Times best sellers. Abrams wrote eight fiction books under the pen name Selena Montgomery before 2021. While Justice Sleeps was released on May 11, 2021, under her real name. Abrams also wrote a children's book, Stacey's Extraordinary Words, released in December 2021.
Okay, she and Nizz can talk about books, on the Amtrak train ride, heading north.
Okay, I have assembled enough folks onto the train.
We will see who gets on the train next week.
Hugs!
