Sparky gets anxious when storms roll in, and this week, that seems to be twice per day. He’s also not nuts about getting a wet belly. Sparky was happy to get out when the weather cleared for a while.
When I went to Aldi today, I picked up a rack of baby back ribs, the fully cooked kind that is slathered in barbecue sauce. Sparky was so supportive. He knows I love ribs, so he was all smiles and encouragement as I laid them out on the cookie sheet to go under the broiler.
I waited until Sparky’s dinner time, so while I’m tucking in to my ribs, he’s eating his 4 ounces of kibble and half of a hard-boiled egg. Sparky will like that we are dining together.
This is what happens when you get out of your lane on Youtube. The couple of Youtube videos I mentioned in earlier posts, has skewed my algorithm.
I watched one video of a talented girl playing Orange Blossom Special, and now Youtube thinks I want to see a girl with a club foot or palsy, busking with her banjo cousin. I’m not clicking on that, but somehow, it’s been viewed 16 million times.
The other one is worse. Why is a naked guy talking to a dog in the middle of what looks like Amsterdam? What is he saying? Something like, “Love knows no bounds. Acting on that love is only natural. Look, it’s only weird if you make it weird.” The dog looks receptive.
When Youtube feeds me a dog psychology video, I might watch it to see if Sparky is getting screwed over. This one was good because it had mostly good looking dogs and people.
Here are the ten things.
JP: CENTCOM using underwater drones to clear mines in the Strait of Hormuz
US Central Command (CENTCOM) has announced that it will be sending underwater drones to help clear the Strait of Hormuz.
Today, we began the process of establishing a new passage, and we will share this safe pathway with the maritime industry soon to encourage the free flow of commerce.
Europe is so embarrassing.
After my last post, Youtube fed me this girl-band version of Foggy Mountain Breakdown. The video is edited so different instruments appear as needed, and musicians are positioned next to each other to coincide with the section of the song.
I started to think I was racist or sexist or ageist, because I couldn’t tell the musicians apart .
Fox News: Biden awkwardly pulls trustee into spotlight and calls him ‘Barack’ at portrait unveiling
The incident adds to a growing list of cognitive gaffes for the former president, who returned to his alma mater Tuesday
News reports like this indicate that the journalists have nothing, and are trying to make a story.
Jeffrey Scruggs does look like Obama. The awkward part is that Biden thought that joke was funny and needed to be spoken.
I learn more about popular culture by visiting Twitter/X, then I ever did as a high school teacher. I don’t like popular culture, but here’s what I’ve learned from the current controversy.
I wouldn’t post on a furniture assembly project, but Sparky was adorably disruptive.
Dogs can sense human moods through a combination of superior scent detection, keen observation of body language, and vocal tone recognition.
Sparky is wise in the ways of man. He sees that I am moving around and concentrating. No food is involved. Sparky squirmed in between me and the chair, and tried to look innocent, like he just happened to be standing there for no reason.
