Dear Reader,

The next few months are make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising, and we need more online readers to pitch in than have been of late. In "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," we take a level-headed look at the brutal economics of journalism, why investigative reporting like you get from us matters, and why we're optimistic we can grow our base of support in a big way—starting with hitting a huge $300,000 goal in just three weeks. Please learn more and donate if you can right now.

Inkblot and Domino are waiting. And waiting. And waiting. For something. I’m not sure what. Probably dinner, though this picture was taken around two in the afternoon, so dinner was a very long way away.

In the meantime, who knows? Maybe someone will come out and do some gardening. Maybe someone will walk their dog on the sidewalk beyond the far wall. Maybe a hummingbird will come flitting around. All sorts of possibilities. And if they wait long enough, dinner will arrive! It always does eventually.
