Another thunderstorm is rolling through, this time with plenty of lightning. Sparky is on high alert. When I decided to use the bathroom, Sparky had to figure out how to maintain decorum while never being farther than a body length away.
His conversational gambit was awkward enough, I had to take a photo.
NIH closes experimentation labs accused of brutally killing thousands of beagles for 40+ years
Sparky has too much ninja blood to be an official beagle, but these reports are heartbreaking. All of the lab beagles shown in the photos have Sparky’s stoic good nature, so you know that they are all good dogs.
The life-or-death case for self-driving cars
The studies are in, and self-driving cars are a good idea. We should remain skeptical.
This article explains why a high percentage of power generated by wind and solar could have caused the power outage. In a separate post, I explained that Spaniards don’t worry about what could happen. That would explain the lack of backup power and the total disruption from the outage.
Spaniards are lovely people, but they think differently. It didn’t take much persuasion to get me to jump in the ring. I’m a “when in Rome” kind of guy.
That was quite a rain storm.
The service department was out this morning working on this big, six foot storm drain, but the water brought more debris. They showed back up a couple of minutes after I took this photo.
Members of a family tend to share ways of thinking or doing. The traits may be expressed differently or skip a few people, but it’s there. These things are probably a mix of nature and nurture, innate aptitudes and family attitudes. My sister recently commented about “The Nestoff Way”, and I’ve been thinking about what that is.
Sparky was tense about the rainstorm. I shot an ASMR video of Sparky weathering the storm.
