When we reported on Ukraine’s early gains on Friday, the reality on the ground was still not confirmed. But now there is no doubt: A grinding stalemate has been transformed in Ukraine’s favor, giving Russia its most humiliating defeat since the initial stages of the war.

Since the wrapping was “see-through” I wondered why I overlooked it the night before. When I unwrapped it I found a curled up paper note. On the note was printed the above text. I think it might be a trap, so I didn’t dare type it into the address bar of my web browser. Oh no. I carefully resealed the note into the clear plastic wrapper, after placing a wee smidgen of tuna fish inside the tightly curled up note. The I went shopping. First to the computer store where I bought the Here Little Kitty model laptop, secured with paw-print recognition. Then, off to the pet store, where a man sold me a kitten who he promised was from a long line of award winning felines who were champions in all divisions of .. . Well, you get the idea. I lured the little kitty to the wrapped fortune cookie after placing it on the keyboard of the Here Little Kitty Laptop. She said, actually she texted: It’s ok to post.
