In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

Don't Know Nuthin' About No 'puters! 

When Mario told me the US Military is preparing the procedures to institute a targeted draft for people with computer and language skills, I thought he was giving me the set-up to a joke. I was appalled to learn it was true! Fortunately, I don't know a second language well enough to help with anything, although I did minor in linguistics in college. And as far as computers go, well, I know nothing! That's my story and I'm sticking to it. What kind of world is this? It's so different from anything I could have imagined. Makes my brain hurt. I'm going to go take a bath or suck my thumb, or something, and pretend everything is all right.

Saw a couple of deer today while out in the wood. Lots of deer and elk tracks—and poop. A few birds. Mostly silence, except for the sound of water running. The creeks are full of snow melt. I have so much work to do, but I think tomorrow I may go out into the woods and sit there, see if the trees have anything to share.
