Day Eighteen: Apple Puffs and Labor Camps.

When I wake up, especially if it is in the morning, I tend to grumpily stumble around, pee, make coffee, angrily stare down the coffee pot, then head off to Reddit and enjoy my coffee. Someone I used to know once told me that it was the modern equivalent of our fathers reading the paper in the morning. I suppose that's true.

So, this morning, with some variation (including apple puffs to go with my coffee), I sleepily walk through my morning ritual, when I see this link posted.

In true Reddit form, allow me to give you a tl;dr (too long; didn't read):
A chinese girl heard a sort of joke, then tweeted it, then was sentenced to one year in a labor camp. This is the shit that I am talking about world. A clear abuse of power and people. Amnesty International is trying to get the Chinese government to release the girl.

These are the kind of things that I am (and all of AI's supporters are) trying to help, and to help prevent. Please, if you haven't yet, take a moment, and drop a dime in the bucket.

For a little lightheartedness after that bout of serious serious, here is today's pic, featuring a cameo from my son and my wife's arm.
