So much pet psychology we take for granted that preople know! My parents, both in their 80’s, just got their first cat. My mom texted me in consternation about how much the cat was sleeping during the day.

Yeah don’t look up James Thurber’s early career, lol. He did attend college, and the war efforts had a lot to do with it, but he went from being an Ohio State student with a bad eye to clerking at the US Embassy in Paris to staff of the New Yorker in 9 years.

Where did this crazy idea - that brides can tell guests what to wear - even come from? Setting a dress code is correct as that’s intended to convey to guests the tone of a social event, but it’s never been ok for hosts to dictate what guests wear.

David Simon covered this in his book Homicide in 1988. Pre-1970 or so, there was less gang violence & few stranger murders, so clearance rates were 90%+. By the mid-80’s that had changed, & cities like DC and Baltimore were overwhelmed.
