FIREFOXES ARE NOT LITERALLY, "FOXES ON FIRE", AND I'M NOT A BEAR!!
Remember- International Red Panda Day is the 3rd Saturday of September.
Visit: http://redpandanetwork.org/get-invo.....red-panda-day/ for more info.A note: I will be migrating to personal journaling on Weasyl. I will post on FA, news and references more often.

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/55619625/ It has been 13 years since January 9th that I have decided to be in the FF'dom by creating an account here. I am happy to continue my "membership" to the FF'dom and here on FA. It is a fine 13 years, and I'm not quitting. No, I'm not going to fear that number-besides, I was 13 in human age, and nothing happened. I have benefitted, and I'm glad to be a furry to meet others and to find myself.
NOW THE SAD PART...
If you have not known, the 39th President of the US has died- Jimmy E. Carter Jr. at 100 +89 days to be the longest living president. It is a blessing and he deserves the utmost respect to living that long, and that he has done a lot of good even after his only term in office from 1977-81. He's not perfect and may not be like Abraham Lincoln while in office, but to see him have PLENTY OF ACCOLADES, you can't deny that he was a good man. So it is fitting that in the USA, they will declare a national federal holiday for this year only to mourn him. So be wary in the USA, you will NOT go to the bank, the stock market will be closed, mail service will be halted that day, some city, county/parish, state and federal services will be closed as well. Do keep an eye out for any service that you might need on that day-some businesses can close as well-they can treat it as Independence Day (July 4th.) SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES CAN BE EXEMPTED, BUT BE IN THE KNOW IF THE LIBRARY YOU USE OR SCHOOL YOU ATTEND WILL CLOSE THIS THURSDAY.
I did not want this to happen on my entry to the FF'dom, but I'm just one out of the near 335 million in the USA, and the government has decided to devote the time for Carter to be remembered. It is good that there are no cons in the USA being held at this time- the closest con held would be Painted Desert Fur Con held on Jamuary 3-5: https://painteddesertfc.com/ and AnthroNorthWest January 2-5: https://www.anthronw.com/ , but it is lucky that if there are US furs that do embrace the presidency of Carter, they won't feel conflicted if they are in Japan-the con Japan Meeting of Furries is held on the next day, January 10-12: https://www.jmof.jp/ (I do not think that Japan will follow in closing for honoring Carter.)
In any case, I will have an off day anyway, but it is understandable that upcoming will be the inauguation of 47th President Trump on the 20th, so they would have to move quickly to prepare.
So for this somber 13th year of me entering the FF'dom, it is bittersweet. I'm happy to be furred, but sad to see a fine naval lieutenant, congressman, govenor of Georgia and president leave the Earth and soon be laid to rest.
May the Carter family and the residents of Georgia who embrace him be consoled. May God bless him.
