Providence
When the cat was yawning and stretching himself after a prolonged nap this morning, I said to him, “We’re kindred spirits, you and I – neither of us has a plan, and we both leave it all up to providence.” – Niebla (© 2023)

How to do Europe in five days
Jackie and Jilly, who used to be friends and colleagues while both lived in L.A., are finally meeting again at a bar in Boise, Idaho, for the first time in years. “I hear you went on a trip last year?” “Yes, we did Europe in five days. It was great.” “What do you mean by you did Europe?” “Well, we looked up What to see in Europe on the Internet and planned accordingly.” “I see.” “It worked perfectly. We did France, Spain, Italy, Germany and England.” “And saw them in five days?” “Yes! And the beauty of it is we’ll never have to go back there.” “Because you’ve seen all there is to see?” “Everything worth seeing!” “Good for you and your blessed little eyes!” “Are you being sarcastic by any chance?” “Never! Europe and the wisdom of the Internet would never recover!”
