The person they took is a professional throat singer who went to graduate school in the US, has been here over ten years, and is currently on an artist's visa while awaiting processing of their green card.
She put a call out to ask …

In other news, my throat hurts. 😣

His ex-wife Ashley shared a
three-minute voicemail with the AP from last winter
where he told her that he thought someone should slit her throat.
In that message,
sent around the time he joined ICE,
he called her “disgusting”
and said that she and other women and girls in her “bloodline” should die.
“And all of you should have your
f—king throats cut,”
Brouillette’s voicemail said.
“Yeah, you should.

So exactly a week after reading about the Northern Flicker at the Roger Tory Peterson Institute (https://rtpi.org/trails-hemlock-forests/), one joined me at my house.
This one was a male (I think), yellow-shafted.

Good morning. Woken up with a sore throat and eyes. I obviously need coffee for the throat.

Second Dog is recovering from surgery. It's been a week since her spay, and we've been wondering when High Energy Collie would return.
As for us, younger child brought back a fever and sore throat from school, as they always do after about a month. They gave it to me.
So yesterday, having taken a few days off work, I had finished a round of Feeding Kids and Administering Medicines and was settling down for a very much needed nap. Second Dog appeared, in a perky mood, and…

Went to bed last night with a scratchy throat, woke even more scratchy throat so I guess I’m doing the “change of season“ illness.

One hand, nor’easter so excuse to stay inside.
OTOH, cat seems determined to shove his face in mine
