Ah, good. The popcorn to enjoy with the pending cage match between Elmo and Donald. This should be outstanding entertainment. I hope they both leave the ring on stretchers, battered and beaten.

I really wish I could leave my brain in a zip lock bag in the mudroom and just go enjoy a walk -- instead, the fucking thing has to come along and ruin everything...

80 years ago today, my grandfather and his fellow Danish police officers returned to Denmark after being liberated from Buchenwald concentration camp. Why are ignorant, cruel people taking us down this path again?!?

Damn, that was some #trailtherapy for the win. #whywelivehere.

Spent an hour this morning hugging my dog, telling her it would all be okay somehow. While she's an experienced freelance emotional support floof, I'm not sure she believed me. Much more concerned with spring critters that need to be flushed out. I want her job and peace of mind...

Aww, that's proving to be one very expensive Sieg Heil for President Musk. It's almost like his customers and investors don't much appreciate that he's pulling a Twitter on the US Government and torching $TSLA as part of his dumpster fire.

That Depends.

Or, you can double down on Elmo's folly.

The final solution for the truly driven. The Tesla SS. Only in white.

There's Smaug on his pile o' gold... and then there's The Smol One here with her house o' ginger.

Shortest day of the year -- and single digits and fresh powder to spice it up! Bring it, Mother Nature!

Venn diagrams make everything *so* much clearer. Not better. Just clearer. (h/t to whoever cooked this up).

PSA: porcupines still aren't tasty unless seasoned and slow cooked. You'd think she'd have learned by now...

Spending a week with this ridiculously adorable girl around the house has been outstanding therapy for ALL the things. We don't deserve dogs, but we sure as hell need them. Thanks, Clover, come back and visit soon.

It's not just the wind. the granite on the Presidentials is razor sharp and the boulders jumbled up to best trip you and cut you. Adore the Whites, but they are NOT to be fucked with...

Still life with fluff.

Begging... Me?!? No, hooman, not at all. I'm merely pointing out that your turkey-and-hummus wrap is gargantuan and clearly meant to be shared.

Can YOU spot the smol floof?

Our neck of the woods lookin' all dapper & stylish more than makes up for the bugs...

About as gorgeous out as it gets. Ignore the bugs; appreciate the clear streams, soggy fluff, and delightfully chilled paws.

you KNOW it's a slow news Monday when this is the big local story above the fold...

Nope, our governor would only call a special election for the senator's replacement -- and we'd pretty much be guaranteed to pick a solid progressive to replace him (right, guys? Guys...?).
