See, she found this silly little web page all about otters, Called In Otter News. It is all about an otter named Steve and his friends Some are actual pictures, other are cartons of him.

Getting "caught in the act" is the most common translation of this Latin phrase. It involves a person being very naughty and someone 'walking in on them.' I'm proposing these prompts because sometimes our characters can get just too nice. Our protagonist can be too "pro" and our antagonist too "mean".

If you were an animal, what would you be?
Most certainly a bird. I love all birds, but especially hold a deep affection for corvids. More than once, I've considered befriending a murder of crows. The idea of having them
Greetings and salutations from the GA Weekly Wrap Up
For some reason I am feeling giddy today, or maybe even ducky 🦆 ! Why, I have not a clue. My washing machined died on me this morning, and I don't think that should make be feel great. We had another thunderstorm today like the past few days, which I'm not a fan of (look at someone's anthology entries ).
