Cal is six! Happy birthday you big furry muppet.

I'm local to you. I'd love to convince you otherwise over coffee (you might recognize where I am sitting at this very moment).

I can relate. We were gifted this furry abomination with all the brains of a golden retriever and the stubbornness of a poodle. He vigorously defends the house against crows and squirrels at 3am, but would greet an intruder. I hope your stupid cat brought as much joy as our lovable idiot dog.

We are at the stage where he's in the cockpit and randomly pressing buttons and has now managed to disengage the autopilot. Buckle up, passengers. (credit to the New Yorker - Will McPhail)

Many other passengers have their hands up.

Can you do this one next? I have a map from 1834 and according to Trump this means that a good chunk of Washington state actually belongs to Canada. 😜

Just so we are clear about what is "unjust and disproportional", the counter-tariff is for the tariff, removing every american product off the shelf is for the threats of annexation.

Superbowl agenda: - Reading by the fire with my dog at my feet.

Cozy scene with a stone fireplace with a wood log fire. In front, there is a carpet with a large shaggy black dog sleeping next to an ottoman with a copy of Bill Bryson's "A short history of nearly everything".

Hey American peeps - what the hell is going on down there? Seems like everything is breaking all at once?

Is "patio" inspired by my setup - complete with sleeping dog?

The human brain is bizarre as heck. I'm doing the NYT spelling bee in the morning and hit a wall, so I turn it off and go about my day. At bedtime, I fire up the app and *immediately* get the pangram which is "Ebullient". The fact that I have a sub-conscious and it's just processing away... 🤯🤯

For various reasons, I have been off a truly "social" network for many, many years now. I feel like it's now an appropriate time and place to share a pic of my ball-obsessed pooch for everyone's amusement.
