While working on the headboard, I had a brainstorm for a new invention using materials on hand. Sparky tried it out, and is eager to use it next time we go camping.
That’s what ShoeOnHead says, and she’s gotten 2 million views in one day. Social media isn’t reality, but fringe opinions get amplified to influence reality.
All women are not eager to make it legal for moms to kill their children. All men are not eager to repeal the 19th Amendment.
It’s a thunderstorm, so Sparky is sticking with me. He stays within 2 feet of me without regard for decorum or our customary regard for privacy.
Maryland Renaissance Festival Has Banned Furries This Year
Wenches, beggars and barbarians are welcome at this year’s Maryland Renaissance Festival. Furries are not.
And the furries — that is, the subculture defined by people who wear anthropomorphic animal costumes — have their dander up about it.
Jousting is the official state sport of Maryland. Their renaissance festivals should be pretty good, so apparently they don’t need furries.
On the night watch, we encountered a skunk. Luckily, I saw the skunk first. Sparky never saw it, but when he picked up the scent, he really wanted to track it. I had his leash, so we continued up to the house, but Sparky is thrilled that he scared off the intruder. That’s how he tells the story, and he will be talking about this for days.
Sparky keeps his afternoons free to relax, but he is usually only 60% asleep. Or 70%, who knows? He naps with his eyes open so he doesn’t miss a car ride or any chance of food.
Sparky may have been warn out from that exciting dawn patrol, or he thinks there is little chance of a car ride or more snacks.
Canadians are using ‘elbows up’ to hit back at US tariffs. Here’s what it means
- Canadians are using the phrase “Elbows up” to encourage each other to stand up to the United States.
- The phrase originates from hockey legend Gordie Howe, known for his toughness and use of elbows on the ice.
Canadian Prime Minster Carney is using the hockey phrase, ‘Elbows up’, to strengthen national resolve against the United States. Canada owns hockey, so they can rally around that.
Pathetic.

Rabbit spotted near the central briar patch. Sparky is getting much better at looking where I am pointing, rather than just looking at my hand. The rabbit was pinned down in the brush. Sparky tried a pincher movement to surround the rabbit, but since he is the only dog, the rabbit just ran away.
Sparky is pretty proud of himself because his strategy almost worked.
I ate a free apple off of the honey crisp tree that I planted 12 years ago. Don’t get excited, bugs also like honey crisp apples, so very few are presentable.
I almost walked into a spider web. That was exciting and I still have the creeps.
I don’t even read books, and noticed this immediately. You have to get the spelling right, especially if the post is about smart people and it’s in the heading.
To be fair:
- Melania didn’t post this herself, one of her PR flunkies did.
- Melania does speak a half-dozen languages, so she might not be so good on the details.
- Spellcheck should have caught this, but those programs aren’t perfect. Mine doesn’t think that ‘film’ is a word.
What the hell are these guys planning?
