It’s apple picking time, and Sparky isn’t excited. Sparky is concerned for my safety because I am climbing a ladder wearing crocs.

While making split pea soup, I’m watching The Conjuring. The movie is super-creepy. A carrot this twisted, may be possessed by an entity who once walked the Earth, but not in human form. The movie doesn’t specifically mention demonically possessed vegetables, but why take chances?
Sparky has every reason to think that good things are coming his way. Poor dog, it’s not going to work out this time.
CNN: Cracker Barrel stock tanks after unveiling a controversial logo change
This Cracker Barrel controversy doesn’t make any sense to me. Coincidentally, that puts me in agreement with Cracker Barrel’s target market.
I’m hungry. And lazy.
Everybody makes a big deal about cooking a brisket, so I wanted to give it a try.
WSJ: My Digestive Tract Flunked a Health Test. Here’s How I’m Coping.
That is a photo of the journalist’s new-and-improved breakfast. It’s the worst looking thing I’ve ever seen. It doesn’t look like food. It doesn’t resemble anything. If it didn’t have the white stuff, it might resemble a scat salad. Mouse turds mixed with deer shit, with other animals contributing.
It’s supposed to be fruit, half of a granola bar, chia seeds, almonds and Greek yogurt.
Why would anyone eat that for breakfast? Just have black coffee and a cigarette, and live free.
How would anyone eat that? Put some yogurt on a spoon, and roll it in the mouse turds. Or mix it all together and eat a small bowl of disappointment.
Walking the dog or doing yard work is more fun when candy grows on bushes.
The blackberries are getting ripe and they are the best. Cherries are just as tasty, but birds eat them about 15 minutes after they ripen. Plums might be good, but my trees have more black knot than fruit. Eating an apple doesn’t feel like a treat, and the pears are too firm until they sit on the window sill for a while.
No sign of poison ivy in Sparky’s favorite parts of the yard.
When all of the Nutella is gone, I give the empty jar to Sparky.1 He has an impressively long tongue, but he can’t get to the bottom half of the jar. He puts a ball from the snack pit in there, and when it rolls out, it has some Nutella on it.
Drug to Extend Dogs’ Lives May Be Approved by FDA
The drug aims to extend the lifespan of senior dogs and maintain their quality of life as they age, building on the company’s previous RXE acceptance for a longevity drug specifically targeting the short lifespan of large breed dogs.
I don’t get how this works. I assume that dogs and people have similar physiologies, and two years living with Sparky hasn’t changed my mind. I have a developed prefrontal cortex and Sparky can poop whenever he wants, otherwise, our bodies work pretty much the same way.
