Artist, engineer, support crew to a pack of overly enthusiastic tervurens, and a small herd of very opinionated mares.
Boss reached out to me at noon with "we're meeting the CTO at 3 and the person who was building the pitch ... didn't. What can you do?"
What I did was put together not one but three pitches & sell them all.
Yes, this IS my hat. Yes, I can pull ALL The Rabbits out of it!
Thank you!

My husband, who woodworks as a hobby, is off at the ER getting an inch long splinter pulled out of the meaty part of his middle finger.
Normally I'd extract something like this myself and wrap it in animalintex pad but I took one look at it and said "nope, that's beyond my skill".

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

For the sake maintaining survivable anxiety levels, I've had to cut out social media.

I am trying to find music to do a dressage freestyle to this summer and I've come to the sad conclussion that Apocalypitca is not in the cards for us.
Futte literally spooks every time one of the songs starts.

The New Year is upon us and I spent most of last night dealing with a quasi-emergency at work. My expectations for 2025 are not high.

I am a bad dog owner. Yesterday, I sent the puppies out to the backyard, brought them all back in and sequestered Tanis, my instigator, in the bedroom.
Came downstairs, saw the kitchen door was open, closed it and headed out for some pony time. Note, it was POURING and thundering when I left.

Voucher programs are not "school choice." They are forced tithing for taxpayers.
And in Iowa, if you aren't Christian, you'll find a full 96% of accredited private schools in Iowa are religious schools, given you little to no choice.
Rural students may not have access to any private schools.

Education savings accounts used at religious schools violate the Iowa Constitution
Opinion: Over a century ago, Iowa's top court said a religious school "could not lawfully be supported or aided by public funds," writes Allan Vestal.

A pair of paintings that I never got good photos of before they found homes. Luckily, the buyers are bringing them back to me to clean & varnish at IX next year so I'll get some decent pictures then.

Getting some drastically needed rain up here in New England. Dry weather combined with stick season has fueled dozens of forest in brush fires around us. Everything smells of burning leaves.

I'm told there is a quota of cute animals pictures you must post here so here's my weekly starter. No, I don't know what Tanis has in his mouth, all I know is that he was trying to convince Josh to trade coffee for it.
