PrettyTiny Film Company Pic-A-Week **2022** (#52, Dec. 29)

[Alliecat]

Sadly, I read just this week that migratory Monarch butterflies have been declared an internationally endangered species.

Well.... >cough<  If people hadn't been so busy trashing habitat everywhere 20 years ago, we might not have got to this point.  A community group where I used to live tried to stop the wrecking of a pond & field that had tons of milkweed plants & caterpillars; scummy developer did some underhanded things and of course won approval to build... one of our arguments was that it was Monarch habitat and they countered that, well, they're not endangered so it doesn't really matter. 
Just one example.  Things don't fall apart overnight.  Stupidity and carelessness leads to trouble well down the road.

Did you make the book?

Goodness no 
Study?  In the summer?  This crew???? 
Ha.



Rally & I are on the road.  I love paper maps -- always have enjoyed even just looking at them.  And needed the "back roads atlas" here.  But, what a wondrous device GPS is -- especially at night!  I had a funny moment where I imagined whoever first came up with the concept looking at their paper map and thinking "wouldn't it be great if there was a dot on this thing to show me where I am". 
If I had taken Sunsette, which I considered, I could've got a cute photo of her with the Airbnb soap dish, which was a fabulous 1:12 vintage bathtub. 
Anyway, here's Rally figuring out where we are.
