Welsh Rarebit

BBC Online has a fine feature called The Day in Pictures, which today yielded A competitor in the World Bog Snorkelling Championships in Llanwrtyd Wells, Wales emerges from the water.
The nervous, fidgety part of my brain that’s still a hyperactive ten-year-old amped on heavily sweetened breakfast cereal and Tom and Jerry cartoons seized on this picture and caption like a GOP delegate who’s gotten his first taste of hotel cable porn:
• People go bog snorkeling?
• That is so cool!
• There’s a World Championship?
• Who wins, the person who sees the least?
• Are there bumper stickers: Snorkel Wales?
• Is this a mental condition caused by vowel deficiency?
• That is so cool!

Multitudes of children went to school today feeling lucky that the end of the school year is in sight & they will only have to worry for a few days/weeks more about being butchered in their classrooms, martyrs to the misconstrued 2nd amendment.

11y saw me crying and asked if it was about Uvalde.

“Yeah,” I said. “It’s really sad and I worry about y’all.”

“It’s okay, Dad,” he said to me, “we train for this.”

Fuck. I’m broken. He’s in sixth grade. A math nerd. A gamer. He’s not a goddamn Marine. He “trains” for *this?*
