Rats & Badgers

This post is a paean to, um, coincidence?

Actually, it's more of a placeholder while I'm working on a handful of posts with reference to public records in the State of Colorado. (They're more interesting than that makes them sound, I promise!) And I know I'm not, like, legally obligated to post every day, but I don't want to get in the habit of missing days. So this is just a sort of fun interlude.

Our houseguest!

This past weekend, we had Tonks the Rat as our houseguest. She was delightful and sneezey and personable, and only tried to get in my hat, while I was wearing it, once or twice. Tonks' person is from Wisconsin, and is a member of the Ho-Chunk Nation. As is Bronson Koenig, of the Badgers.

Which leads us to basketball. Tonight is maybe my favorite match-up of the tournament, because I love both Notre Dame and Wisconsin. Can't they both win???

I mean, my family has that whole Irish descent thing going, and the mascot is kind of wonderful. But the Badger is also a great mascot, it'd be fun to see Koenig and teammates get to go farther, and I think it would make Tonks the Rat happiest. And I sure don't want to make that little rat-a-tat sad!

Badger vs. Irish: #whycouldn'tthisbethefinalgame

So, in conclusion: yay, teams!
