Steve Miller Band unexpectedly pulls the plug on entire North American tour
The Steve Miller Band unexpectedly canceled their North American tour Wednesday, citing risky weather patterns.
The real news is that Steve Miller Band still exists and performing. The band issued the cancellation on social media.

This post is about fluoridated water and dental health. Sparky doesn’t have much to do with it, but I will get to him at the end.
RFK, Jr. Protects The Nation’s Precious Bodily Fluids
Chemistry can seem like magic, so know the cost. In engineering terms, “everything is a trade off.” This substack article addresses RFK’s interest in fluoride.
The battle over fluoride has been raging for longer than I have been alive, dating as far back as the 1930s. While the scientific basis for opposing fluoridization may have changed, the arguments to a large degree remain unchanged.

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.
