If you’re invested in the U.S. elections, or if you have loved ones in Nicaragua or Honduras, or if someone you know has COVID-19, today may be quite stressful.

Please enjoy this picture of my cat wearing a hand-knit cap. (You could call her … the cat in the hat.) Feel free to share pictures of your pets on our Facebook.

Stay safe, everyone.
