Tuesday!
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!
We have split up the publishing duties, but we welcome everyone in IAN to do daily 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!
Ok, we have a current diary schedule. If you would like to fill in, either post in thread or send FloridaSNMom a Kosmail with the date. If you need someone to fill in, ditto. FSNMom is here on and off through the day usually from around 9:30 or 10 am eastern to around 11 pm eastern.

Tuesday: bigjacbigjacbigjac

If you'd like to be part of the Itzl Alert Network, please leave a comment asking to join, or send us a message asking to join. We'd love to have you. The bigger our network, the less likely someone will be stranded all alone.
Well,
here we are again,
another bigjac Tuesday.
I see my self as an artist;
my art form is poetry,
as you can see.
I can make you laugh,
with a story
of my cat climbing in the window,
and we fed him chicken wing tips,
and he purred so loudly,
and slinked back and forth on the bed.
Can you see the cat?
He's an outdoor cat,
that's a bold move,
climbing in the window,
in the middle of the night,
since he heard us
and smelled us;
he smelled the chicken!
He clamored and climbed,
we fed him,
he purred....
Did you chuckle a little?
Did I reach you?
Can you see the cat,
slinking around on the bed?
If so,
I'm an artist;
my art did the trick.
Are you any kind of artist?
I know jan4insight
is a kind of artist;
I bought a journal book from her;
she'd decorated it,
carefully,
in detail,
by hand.
That's art you can physically touch,
and object you can turn around in your hand.
Maybe a better kind of art,
than poetry?
Of course,
we can have both!
Tell us about
your art,
or art you admire.
Or,
ignore the diary
when you write your comment,
or just click tip jar,
and don't comment at all.
Hope you're doing well,
but even if not,
tell us about it.
We're here to listen.
