If you invent your own driving rules, the other guy has to guess how to react. I’m not saying that this was the best response, but it worked out.
When Sparky decided to hike up the icy hill, my new crampons allowed me to follow. To show the treacherous conditions, I videoed Sparky. As expected, he had trouble with the ice, but what happened on the hill surprised both of us.
The backyard ice field is a death trap. Going down on ice seems to happen extra fast. My first fall shook me up. After that, I was super cautious. I have fallen a few more times, but since I went down from a sporting stance, there have been no injuries yet. I can’t live like this.
Morning dog and I were very comfortable, when the sun had risen high enough to interfere with my bliss. Morning dog had already been out to pee and come in to investigate the snack pit, so neither of us wanted to get off the couch.
I could endure the morning sun shining in my eyes, when it occurred to me that with my phone, I could command my robot window shades.
Sparky and I aren’t pleased with the weather situation. Everything that looks like snow, is slick ice. Anything that looks greenish, is grass sticking out of slick ice. It’s worse than walking on a glacier.
Sparky was getting too comfortable, so I threw him a balloon party. While Sparky watched from his crate, I salted the snack pit with the tasty treats. The video is at triple speed.
WaPo: Trump takes Kennedy Center
Trump cited drag shows “targeting our youth” in his post, without specifying, reviving a line of attack against drag performances in events led by government-affiliated institutions. The Kennedy Center held some shows involving drag last year
In 2020, Trump tweeted a Ralph Waldo Emerson quote, “If you strike at the king, you must kill him.” That was years before Trump was shot. The Progressive mob was relentless. They didn’t stop him, so he will be merciless. Trump can’t put an end to drag shows at public libraries, but he can fire Kennedy Center trustees.
If he’s going after Kennedy Center, Trump must have a pretty comprehensive list of vulnerable targets.
The NYT has a feature called Trump Administration Live Updates. It’s the kind of feature they’d have for a developing situation or big event. Trump’s guys are working so fast, it makes sense.
Another order, freezing all foreign aid for at least 90 days, abruptly froze dozens of clinical trials around the globe, leaving people being treated with experimental drugs and medical products cut off from the researchers who were monitoring them.
The NYT intends the reader to view the order as impetuous and reckless. I read that and think that USAID was financing medical experiments on poor and distant foreigners. Not cool.
