This friendly little chippy was happily sitting right in front of me for multiple photos, but my poor refurb hasn’t quite gotten the idea yet, so forgive the blurriness.  It’s starting to get flowers, at least.  It will be assimilated.

Things on the home front have been further complicated by trumpian attacks on national healthcare, so even more stressful, but if recent elections are any indication, a crack in the regime is widening.  There may be some hope for this stupid country yet.
