I’m hungry. And lazy.
Everybody makes a big deal about cooking a brisket, so I wanted to give it a try.

Sparky is having a rough morning.
By mid-afternoon yesterday, Sparky was feeling frisky again. He thought I was a dope for misreading the dead mouse situation. Sparky filled me in.

Stephen Colbert’s Late Show is getting cancelled, and his competitors aren’t doing much better. Broadcast networks may as well go back to a test pattern at midnight, and just sign off until morning.

While I was on the computer this morning, Sparky came by. I thought he wanted to come up and chat, but he had something else in mind.

Imagine how difficult it must be to live with the compulsion to change “Baby” to “Diaper” on these changing stations that are in every store.
The guy has a point. After using this equipment, it’s a different diaper on the same ol’ baby. He should probably find a more fulfilling hobby.
Note: I understand and endorse the cultural norm that prohibits taking a photo in a restroom, but this photo seemed warranted.

When Sparky went out last night, he walked through the mud in the back yard. I didn’t see him and Sparky didn’t mention it. Rather than go to bed, Sparky wandered all over the place.
This morning, when I saw his mud tracks, I called Sparky over for a dog-shaming photo.
Trump’s ‘Hero garden’ is coming – where Abraham Lincoln will stand next to Julia Child
Americans could soon get the chance to walk by life-size statues of luminaries, including Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Muhammad Ali, after President Donald Trump’s “National Garden of American Heroes” was greenlit.
Trump is an idea man. Some of his ideas are so unexpected, we need time to think an idea through before forming an opinion. The ‘National Garden of American Heroes’ is happening, but it doesn’t sound like a good idea.

President Trump Orders National Parks to Raise Fees on International Visitors
It was a bold choice to wear a straw boater hat for a serious backpacking trip, but it works. This is 1991, in Andalusia, Spain. Gorge, in the Wally Cleaver shirt, was a fun work friend, and Isabel, with the pink backpack, was my best friend and savior. The other four were friends of theirs.
My Spaniards and I were backpacking in the Sierra Nevada National Park. That seems like an unlikely name for a national park in Spain, but it means “snow covered mountains”.

American Kennel Club Harms French Bulldogs’ Health, PETA Says in Suit
This article explains that French bulldogs are so genetically unfortunate, that PETA is suing the AKC. I didn’t read the article because the bulldog in the photo seems to have a lot of shit to deal with. The article did motivate me to look up the 23 Healthiest Dog Breeds With the Least Illnesses.
Since beagles are number 2 on the list, I decided to rate those dog breeds on which is the best. My rating is based solely on the photo and my ability to know what dogs are thinking.

Sparky met a new dog, and was not at his best. It was embarrassing, but Sparky had fun.
