This is, more generally, a super cool thing I recommend trying when you have a free afternoon. It’s a Dog Library, except you don’t even need a card. Just show up and check out a dog. They’ll give you a bottle of water & some treats, even. bvspca.org/shelter-skip...

The trees in Monet's Poplars were auctioned off for timber while he was still painting them. Rather than lose the motif, he struck a deal with the buyer: a share of the cost, on condition the poplars stayed standing a few months more.

Strider and the four hobbits, walking east along the Road, set out from Bree in front of a crowd of onlookers. Bill Ferny—who earlier this morning sold them the scrawny pony who now carries their baggage—openly taunts them. In response, he gets an apple in the nose from Sam.

65 yrs ago tonight, CBS broadcast the second nuclear-war-themed episode of “The Twilight Zone” to air in a month. Written by Rod Serling, “The Shelter” dramatically and effectively distilled the profound moral/ethical dilemmas presented by the family fallout shelter during a serious nuclear crisis.

We got those two Senators in the first place because the GOP fumbled the bag by putting up LAUGHABLY insane/corrupt candidates, and Kemp cruised back to the governor’s mansion. That said, its been a nice surprise for Warnock to keep his seat & Ossof looks strong. Purple state status looks attainable
