Big Stick is scrambled.

I am building a website for my nephew’s contracting business. It seemed like a clever idea to piggyback on my Big Stick Physics account. There can be multiple domains, so my website ‘BigStickPhysics.net” can live with his website. I’ll post his web address when his site is presentable.

Somehow, I crossed the streams. When I intended to experiment with his site, I was actually changing mine. I do have a backup, and Tech Support can get me sorted out.

Are you the keymaster?

If I hear that from Sparky, he’s going right in his crate.

My last post may be fake news.  Sparky wasn’t excited about the baby back ribs, he can sense a storm coming.

While I was online, Sparky popped his head up, and was panting like Sigourney Weaver in Ghostbusters.  A little while later, he violated decorum, and followed me into the bathroom.  That is foul weather behavior.

If there is going to be a storm, I hope it hits soon.  I hate when it hits after I’ve gone to bed.  Trying to sleep with all that panting is like being back in the freshman dorm.

Sparky is happy for me.

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.

Sparky’s dandelion walk.

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.

Another dog psychology video.

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.

Europe is a little dog that thinks it’s a big dog.

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.

Mousy White girls all look the same.

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 .

This ‘news’ is awkward for someone.

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.

Old man yells at clouds

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.

Sparky is no help with patio furniture.

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.
