Me-usings and Me-emories

28 Oct 2026 - There is enough information in this photo to convey my state of  high alert:  neck lengthened, ears sharply erect.  And underneath my black-and-white coat are muscles tensed for action.  The follow-up is that intervention was not required of me:  conditions were not dangerous, interlopers were not scaling the exterior.  But adrenaline doesn't just suddenly disappear, and long after the picture was taken, I was still trying to calm my fight-or-flight brain.
