It's really easy to forget how volatile the weather is out here in the midwest. 2" of snow isn't that much, but 'blowing and drifting' means you get this.

It was 65* here last week.

Everything's fine. That's supposed to be like that. :-0

Can someone please tell me how to get suspected Russian "controversy planting" bot / troll accounts on a list so you all can block them too?

I feel like I have a pretty good radar for this... I mean, I know I attract female Models / ForEx traders naturally, but - their Gaydar must be broken. :-)

Bubba Louie also knew our current dog Harambe. Taught him everything - from about 2 months old. Harambe is ~ 5 years older now and hasn't seen Bubba in years. But I see Bubba's gentle spirit in Harambe. More & more every day

Would that everyone had such a great coach.

As you can see, though, Herky was, in fact, at least partially evil.

... Some people believe he was possessed by Begemot (the bipedal, pitsol-toting, whiskey-swilling cat in the Devil's entourage in 《Master & Margarita》).

Either way.

... Someone Bubba Louie knew was Herky the cat. Herky really taught him what's what.

Little hard to see, but Herky (yes, same as the Hawkeyes' mascot) had brilliant golden eyes.

Herky had a kind heart, too. So nice, that one could be tempted to believe Herky wasn't even partially evil...

This is Bubba Louie. Sadly, he's no longer with us. He crossed the Rainbow Bridge several years ago after a good 14 - or 15-year run.

But his spirit still visits. He says we should be happier, more.

Because Joy.
