At morning fellowship, I was telling Sparky about the Young Washington movie. He wanted me to take a photo where he looked like George Washington’s dog.

If we are getting up this early, Sparky prefers dawn patrol. He wants to hector rabbits, sweep for coyotes and maybe find some fresh goose shit for breakfast.
Sparky is fine with our morning fellowship, as long as we keep it professional. He just doesn’t see the point of drinking coffee at sunrise when there may be a dead bird in the yard.

Sparky was spooked by a chipmunk.
I never moved Sparky’s food bowl, and I still like to leave the patio door open so Sparky can wander out when I’m having coffee on the deck. Another chipmunk ran into the house. Or the same one, I don’t know.

The photo on the left is facing North, toward a sky the color of a Chinese egg1. It’s so dark, the camera switched to night mode. The photo on the right is facing South, toward a pleasant sky.
Both photos were taken at 8:44 AM this morning, two hours after dawn. Weather radar is not encouraging.

A storm rolled through in the middle of the night. At 4 am, Sparky was panting and pacing around my bed. There is some concern that he might need to take an adrenaline shit, but that’s not why I got out of bed.

Sparky looks a little rough, like he went to bed drunk and slept in his clothes. He’s fine.

Sparky found all these 2×12’s in the church parking lot. He wants me to steal the wood, and build a store that sells rotisserie chicken.

A couple of days ago, I stumbled upon the TV show, Ride or Die. I watched two episodes, and know it’s not for me.
The target audience seems to be middle-aged women who haven’t accomplished anything significant and don’t know how to do stuff, but wish they did.

My Tacoma is a doctrinaire prick. Or it’s being maliciously complaint because it harbors a grudge for some reason.
On our drive to Elyria, I wanted to switch to a different audiobook. The audiobook app on my phone responded with:
“The library function cannot be accessed while…”
I didn’t try to display the rest of that sentence because some attention should be given to driving, but it probably ended with “driving”.
