We’re watching Stranger Things. Sparky doesn’t like it so much.
The Obama Presidential Library is not a handsome building, but it reminds me of something. No, not a prick, marital aid, or anything like that. I can’t quite place it.
Choosing a retirement gift is tricky because you may not know the person very well. Not just what does the person want or need, but what are they going to want or need after reaching a milestone that changes everything.
I’m going to help you.
Sparky is my snow dog.
The Wheel of Time was cancelled before I bothered to watch it.
At $15 million per episode, it was expensive to produce, but got quite a bit of buzz and has an IMDB rating of 7.2. Just look at that promotional poster. Why would I bother?
I tried The Rehearsal because I enjoyed the other recommendations on a “Best TV Shows of 2025” list. The summary didn’t say much beyond, “the less you know, the better”, and that’s probably right.
I was reading this dog research about genetics. I was impressed with how the questionnaire asks people to physically describe their dogs.
This graphic about chest shape is crude, but effective.
Ars Technica: Why is my dog like this? Current DNA tests won’t explain it to you.
Another disappointing article about dog research.
The dog shown in the photo above is a stock photo chosen for this article. To me, the photo says,
“Hi, my name is Patches! They found me at a pet sematary. This paw is bigger than my other paws, and my ears don’t seem to be related. I look to be patched together from a bunch of dogs, so they call me Patches! Can I take your kids for a walk over to the edge of the forest? You don’t have to come along.”
Whenever I read an article about science dogs, the photos always look phony or too precious. Sparky has a great range and always looks authentic. He should be a dog model.
This wasn’t a photo shoot, just some pictures I took when we were on a car ride.
