When I play D&D with the family, this is how the dogs arrange themselves.
Leo and Teddy, two long hair dachshunds, sleeping in separate beds. Leo, a black and tan dapple dachshund is curled with his head against the side of the bed. Teddy, a cream colored dachshund is upside down with his head sliding completely off the front of the bed like he is a liquid.

This quote from Adam Serwer's incredible reporting in The Atlantic is one for the ages:
www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
"The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force."

Here is Desk Dachshund Leo snuggled up on a day so cold that no Tennessean should dare venture outside.

I haven't been camping in years but a friend invited me to camp at Sandpoint in Alabama and... wow!

This is one of my favorite spots in the entire park, where you can frame Pikes Peak between Kissing Camels and Gateway Rock.

I've been visiting my brother and seeing friends in my old stomping grounds of Colorado Springs and walking around Garden of the Gods every day as much as I can, because it is absolutely glorious.
A shot of god rays coming through clouds towards the foothills that lead to Pikes Peak in the distance.

Flying out of Nooga and got this picture of Lookout Mountain in the early morning fog. It's hard to appreciate how long and skinny it is from the ground.
Lookout Mountain at the Tennessee River bend from shortly after takeoff.

Off to my cousin's wedding with my brother, where there will be so many other Fugates to see, some of whom I haven't seen in thirty years.
Me wearing a blue jacket, white shirt, and khaki pants.

I have flown into O'Hare many times but I can't recall doing a loop out over Lake Michigan like we did this beautiful clear morning.

There are two dachshunds in this picture.
A picture of a living room with one dachshund lying in a bed by the back door, and another sneaky dachshund hidden in the scene. Both are looking at the camera.

Snapped this photo of Leo being ridiculously dapper.

I mean, I dunno. I live in a red state, but this is just embarrassing.
A Cybertruck with a bumper sticker that says, "I bought this after I knew that Elon was awesome." Gag.

I have no idea what's happening as I haven't been posting a lot recently and then I login to all these notifications out of nowhere. Bot farm? Or a random list that a high visibility account posted. Not sure which is better (or worse)! 😄
