Sparky and I aren’t pleased with the weather situation. Everything that looks like snow, is slick ice. Anything that looks greenish, is grass sticking out of slick ice. It’s worse than walking on a glacier.

This barred owl was outside my window this morning. This was before 8 am and the bird is backlit by the sky, so it’s a dodgy photo.
The branch the owl is resting on has a diameter of about 3 inches, so the owl is about 20 inches long. I didn’t see it fly off, but the wingspan is supposed to be about 40 inches. It’s crazy that a bird that big can fly in amongst all of the branches.
When I woke up this morning, the outside temperature was 1.4o F and we’ve got drifting snow. It hasn’t been this cold, with this much snow, for so long, since Sparky moved in. He won’t complain, but Sparky isn’t going to like going outside for his morning constitutional.
I am tempted to compel Sparky to plow through a snow drift.
Sparky wanted to recreate this photo of President Johnson holding his beagle up by the ears. With Sparky’s belly, I’m afraid his ears would come off. I obviously can’t tell him that, so just said that I can’t find my suit.
Sparky wasn’t impressed by LBJ shaking hands with his dog. He thinks Blanco looks like a dumb ass. Sparky is envious and suspicious of dogs with luxurious fur. He likes how his seal fur lets him slide through brush and brambles, and thinks that slick dogs should get more acclaim.
Yuki riding on the back of President Johnson’s Cadillac has the twin virtues of being fun and dangerous. Sparky is going to talk about this photo for weeks.
After seeing President Johnson howling with Yuki, Sparky says that being president seems like a pretty easy job.
Sparky is trying out some Halloween costume.
His baby seal costume isn’t very convincing, but is easy.
He really wants to be “Sparkle, the saucy princess”.
Sparky doesn’t want to go with the obvious. He thinks that Snoopy is kind of a tool.
Whatever Sparky decides to go with, Halloween might get him a car ride. That’s about it.
Sparky and I stayed up to watch the entire Joe Rogan episode with Trump. It’s possible that Sparky only stayed up to eat popcorn.
Fox Business: GS increasing dues
The Girl Scouts are none of my business, but a few friends have complained about it, and I’ve seen a few articles, so rather than go outside on a beautiful day, I’m reading up.
To be a pal, I had to buy some Girl Scout merch. Fortunately, I’ve got a dog. Here’s the unboxing video.
The first day back to the regular work-out, and I couldn’t even get to Planet Fitness without a problem. A car accident in this case.
Here’s the dash-cam video in slow-motion.
I can’t explain it. Sparky looked normal when we went out the door. It was a typical walk through the parking lot, into the woods, then through the orchard toward the house. Sparky rolled around on the grass on the way back to the house. What the hell was he rolling in?
I have been calling him piglet, so maybe he wallowed in mud. It didn’t smell like anything. He was pretty happy about it.
To give Sparky a redemption arc, here is slo-mo video of him shaking off after his bath. The door mat really needs vacuuming. There is no dialogue because we both wanted to remain civil and just get through it.
