Blue Origin says its next spaceflight is set to make history.

Owning a home isn’t for everyone.
Some people get their deepest sleep, while taking a nap. That’s how it is for Sparky. This a short video of Sparky taking a nap in REM sleep and vivid dreams. I made the video for a post on dog sleep, but thought I’d put it up without all the text.
Your Dog May Be Wilder Than You Think
This article is about the sleeping patterns of dogs compared to wolves. I am a Sparcheologist and not a dog scientist, but this research doesn’t match my experience. The author does get some things right.
