It seemed like a nice night,

until the night watch saw something in the darkness. 

It’s a warm, clear and still night.  I didn’t see or hear anything when the dogs barked, shut up and stared at something.  Whatever it was, they didn’t want to chase it or take their eyes off of it.

I don’t know what Sparky is talking about, and neither does he.

It’s not a gift, it’s an order.

Like him or hate him, how does President Trump have the time and effort to host a conference to address the issue?  Along with President Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Education Secretary Linda McMahon, are attending.

That is a lot of firepower for a two hour meeting about college sports, while there is a hot war going on in Iran, restructuring of Venezuela, a new Homeland Security secretary, and a ‘Shield of Americas’ summit with the leaders of a dozen Latin American countries.

It should always be like this.

I wish Sparky wasn’t a sore loser or a mean drunk or whatever analogy is appropriate, but he is.  Rusty can’t stay, and it isn’t his fault.
