“Would you think me thoughtless if I thought less of myself from time to time
Or if I knowingly
Willingly lost what’s left of my mind.”
Scent.
The most primal information signal to all living creatures.
It could signal love, fear, danger, lust.
Death.
For Jacob, all manner of scents assaulted his senses.
A cacophony of feelings and thoughts flooding his overcrowded mind and then-
One particular smell caught, fixated his thoughts.
*No, my warrior. Don’t be so reckless*
The echo of his wife carried through his mind as she warned him not to rush off.
Jacob could think of nothing else.
His mind brimming blood and anger, his heart drumming his ears.
If he hadn’t been wearing a helmet his ears and nose would have flushed deep red through his white coat, his already red eyes a much deeper hue.
Reflexively his left hand flinched, his claws loudly popping out of hiding.
Then he became a blur of movement and death as he ran down the person who most occupied his hatred.
The one who’d ordered his family to be executed on the promenade, the one who’d laughed as he’d tried to shield his wife and daughter.
He could hear nothing aside the drumming in his ears, certainly not the demonic howl he was letting out nor his wife’s pleas inside his head.
No, his was a mind so focused on bringing death and retribution that nothing else was even considered among all of existence.
Chaos reigned as his form blew through the lines of the enemy, their panic giving his friends and remaining family an opening through which to push an assault.
His quarry turned out of curiosity to look at the commotion coming his way.
He wasn’t disappointed.
His eyes beheld the very image of death bearing down on him at a top running speed approaching 45 miles an hour.
Good morning. Happy Twosday!
We were back in the upper 50s this morning. The sky wasn’t dumping buckets on us or screaming at us when we went for our walk.

We’re in the upper 70s and dripping with humidity.
Floofy kitteh is all snuggly.
Good morning, finally.
I hope your night was catless.
It was so hard to get out of bed, but it’s another day, so
For a minute, I thought I’d be an X/6 again!

Good job! I had no cat. I’m going to get dressed and go to Weight Watchers now.
Happy Tuesday! And the heat goes on…
Lah de dah de dah…
Almost didn’t get this one!

I agree, the triple digit highs are not too bad as long as the humidity stays fairly low... which is what we have been having for the most part...
As I mentioned, the lack of rain is our major concern... nothing to change that in sight at this point....
Enjoy your cool down later this week!
Upper 50s sounds like a nice refreshing morning!!
Close call!
But you stayed alive!
👍🏻
I finally got a break from the five train today...

(I swear these words are getting trickier of late...)
I don’t know if the words are getting trickier or if my mind is playing tricks on me.
I never do well with the ones that have lots of rhyming words. Unless I’ve eliminated a lot of relevant letters, which in this case, I had not. 🤪
Way to go, all you four-trainers!
The double letters (or double doubles) and single vowel words are tricky for me...
Need to adjust my mind for those possibilities....
Before the Slimes bought it, my daughter’s BF (at the time) hacked into the system and got the word list. I don’t know how he used it or why he wanted to do that, except maybe to show he could.
When I get a headache I take two aspirin and keep away from children just like the bottle says.
Got any 7s?
I can still remember when my younger brother used to complain that our mom’s best friend was always calling him a headache.
I’m lucky that way.
Wow. The S-L-O-W-s really have me today!
However, there will be two cards in the mailbox from NC, so It will be a happy day! If I can make it out to the mailbox.
I may or may not get anything done today. But even that’s OK.
