Happy American Thanksgiving

What the hail am I showing you instead of a glazed turkey and some Norman Rockwell lies? Ahhh. I woke up early, around 4 am and fed my very happy and loving Raccoon, something he has askewed since his wilding. He was so happy, smiling, kissing me, tickling my toes, things he hasn't done for awhile. He visits every few days, but, always seems nervous and wary. He has a slight wound on his neck, more of a bump really. Just a swelling from a fight I assume was with big Poppa Coon. Well, his size, youth and strength have paid off. It was clear, if you know Coons, like I do, that he has finally whipped the butt of the larger Coon. He no longer fears. I am sure, other than a few bumps and face scratches, no one was hurt. Raccoons are not, in general, mean animals. But, there must be a hiarchy. He has achieved his place, to fear no more and celebrated with cookies and cakes and a seat in his old mother's lap with much cooing and kissing. I am proud of him. He has also moved home. No need to stay anywhere else when he is now ruling the roost. Under the deck and the old garage filled with warm hay is his sleeping place now. Maybe he just had to stay at the other place until he proved himself. But, it is now Tooney who eats the best and leaves the budget cat food for the others. He didn't even feel the need to nip me, which was different. He's happy to be here and be the king of his world.

And speaking of rulers, I fed him, made coffee and watched THIS. The story of new evidence which claims the mummy of Nefertiti, hidden in shame for 3,000 years, has been identified. The mummy's mouth had been deliberately destroyed, which in their religious terms, means she could not speak her name to her God and was not allowed entrance into her afterlife. That has now been rectified and after 3,000 years, Nefertiti could move on. It's a beautiful and moving documentary. Do watch it, if you get a chance. I am still puzzled by the way she and her followers worshiped the Sun. Celestial worship has always made sense to me, but, it is the Moon that women should take heed of. The Sun is masculine. The Moon feminine. But, even the gentle Moon was corrupted by horrible dark male priests. Perhaps that's why she choose a new and different way. Anyway, she is free now and it makes me happy.

So, religion, ehh? Someone always fucks it up. I hope no one fucks up your holiday meal anyway. I hope all you Americans have a great day and a great feast.

PS..the pics are the Nefertiti bust that had been found, you know, forever and the recreation from the skull of the mummy. Amazing resemblance, isn't it? There was much more that proved it was her, you just have to watch it. It's The Discovery Cannel one. And, of course, the scientist that freed Nefertiti is a woman.
