Our president saying it's totally fine to have America attacked on its own soil and have thousands of Americans die just because they're in a blue state. He's acting like the attack would be doing us a favor. How would he feel if one of his golf courses were hit instead? Or his precious helipad?

So Texas children will die and/or be vectors of disease for all citizens. I bet Paxton is vaccinated. Pinky bet.

My cousin contracted polio a year before the vaccine was distributed. She never fully recovered and she died young. People who oppose vaccinations are beyond stupid; they can be lethal.

I present for your viewing pleasure Mr. Ernie Hudson. He is 79. He's fought off cancer multiple times. And he is lookin' good. And from all reports he is a stand-up guy. I've been a fan for eons.
Ernie Hudson at 79.

One of my favorite words is "lalochezia." I practice this often. What does it mean, you ask? "The use of vulgar or foul language to relieve stress, tension, or physical pain." I am seriously thinking of making a t-shirt with this important dictionary entry.

When I read "Trump's explosive diarrhea problem," my first thought is the article is about Trump's condition, not the nation's. Either way, it stinks.

Medieval manuscripts are treasure troves of silly (and sometimes phantasmagorical) illustrations such as this one. Makes you wonder if any of the pigments had mind-altering properties. Or if the scribes were bored.

We only adopt the less-adoptable dogs. Most were severely neglected/abused. Some of their stories break your heart. Every one has offered us love and goofiness and trust. Dogs amaze me with their capacity for love and forgiveness. I'm gonna go hug and scritch my dogs now...

Judge Biery: “Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And the rule of law be damned.” It is the best description of this regime I’ve seen.

Just came across this quote attributed to Charles Schulz: "All his life he tried to be a good person. Many times, however, he failed. For after all, he was only human. He wasn't a dog." Even if Mr. Peanuts never said/wrote this, I completely agree with the sentiment. #dogs

My husband and I arrived early to my hospital appointment yesterday. While waiting I met Margie, 87 and awesome. Her husband Ted was parking the car. A handsome, vital man with a full head of gorgeous white hair came in and kissed Margie. She and 92-year-old Ted have been married 68 years. ❤️#Goals

All over the world these steatopygian figurines are found. Do they point to a more ancient religious belief that our ancestors practiced?

5:30 AM we were on the road to Penn Medical for pre-op testing. They were nice and efficient and we were on the road back home by 10:00 AM. My husband hates driving in the city but he did it for me. ❤️❤️ I bought him his favorite burger as a thank you. I napped and recovered from the expedition.

They just don't care.
Drawing of a woman standing - head bowed -  in front of a row of men - behind a long desk with papers in front of them.
One man is saying: "It's not that we don't believe your story, it's that we don't care."

Exactly. As he becomes more deranged and politically weaker, he will become more desperate and more dangerous.

So I recently posted a video and commentary about the naughtily-named places in Pennsylvania, and totally forgot about Sugar Notch, which I found out about from an Amazon bag:

We train our dogs on verbal and hand signals at the same time; many of our older dogs became deaf/hard-of-hearing. And we've adopted several deaf dogs, so it's good to have consistent signals across dogs. And it's fun!
