There are about two inches of air between that lacy ice and the water. I have to trust that Sparky’s husky senses would be tingling if the ice were too thin. He’d resent not being allowed to try his luck.

A few days ago, Sparky enjoyed the Snuffle Diving Challenge. That was put together with whatever was handy. Sparky needs a proper ball pit. Today, four hundred 2.25 inch balls arrived from Amazon. When something new comes into the house, if it looks fun, Sparky assumes it’s for him.

I’ve been scanning and organizing old photos.
This is my favorite photo of my mom. Since her birthday was two days ago, she would have been 96, I thought I’d post it.
Jon Stewart is talented and astute. He’s much funnier when he is attacking the other guys.

Sparky likes scrounging for food, so we have a new enrichment activity. A box was filled with a bunch of balls, then little chunks of Blue Buffalo Nudges were thrown in. The treats look like bits of Salisbury steak. Sparky would have stayed at it all day if I hadn’t called him off.

These are my students on our field trip to Cedar Point for Physics Day in 2011. They are all weird in their own way. I picked the year at random, because it doesn’t matter.
Bill Gates makes a good point about students being over diagnosed, labeled and medicated.
CIA shifts assessment on Covid origins, saying lab leak likely caused outbreak. Good work CIA, that would have been good to know four years ago. Back then, the Biden crime family was taking money from China, the CIA was working against President Trump and corporate media was busy slandering anyone who mentioned the Wuhan Lab as racist or a conspiracy theorist.

President Trump went to Los Angeles to observe the wildfire response, and it’s astounding and wonderful.

It breaks my heart to see the look of disappointment on Sparky’s face. None of the boots stayed on, but he had unrealistic expectations.
