the Face of Everyman awoke to discover everyone was off to the No Kings protest. Political activism had never been his thing. Yet he supported the zeal shown by the guests of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Songbirds were good people.

What was this world coming to? Nobody seemed to want that chunk of pasta stuck to the nose of the Face of Everyman. He would lose face if he asked help from one of these small creatures who inhabited the vast forests of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. The Venerable Sage decided to let Fate have a hand in solving this problem as he drifted off to sleep.

Not Our Cat was becoming a pain in the neck. His presence prevented the songbirds from their daily habits of eating and bathing. The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa would lose its triple A rating if this kept up. the Face of Everyman was considering calling ICE but thought better of it. Maybe calling the Animal Shelter for Feral Cats was a better idea.

This wasn’t the homecoming Elizbeth was expecting. The tide was out; the pumps had stopped. Was her Montetorkie school still standing? She asked the Face of Everman if her old job was still available. The school board was awaiting the outcome of the Midterms. Was the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa ever going to return to its previous glory?
