In addition to the house cleaning that needs to be happening in the legislature, we need the 25th invoked.

Ever cook or bake something that tastes just the way you remember it and it’s more than satisfying? I made my Nana’s ham bone bean soup this weekend (shout out to @yuda.org for the bean hookup) and it is perfect.
A large, orange cast iron Dutch oven filled with beans, veggies, broth, and a ham shank.

Racked over two cords of wood with my Dad until our backs started hurting. Still more to go. 💪

Today is my gremlin’s 7th birthday (obsv.) and I’m currently being serenaded by a squeaky chuck-it ball, one of his chief delights in life. This adorable asshole saved my life and brings so much joy. Good things *can* come from Ohio!
A happy, scruffy, white-ish terrier is sitting in a grassy field, looking at the camera with his owner sitting behind him in a black shirt and sunglasses talking to someone out of frame. The sun backlights them.

Yes. Very yes. It’s got carbs, fat, dairy, and all the deliciousness.

DOG: We’re going for a RIDE?!?!? I am much excite! I love going for rides. Where are we going? This is so much fun!

NARRATOR: it was not fun. It was getting his nails trimmed at the groomer.
A scruffy, white-ish dog with a big black nose, round eyes, and pointy ears on the grooming table in the process of getting his nails trimmed when he hates having his paws touched. He has eyes locked with the photographer the entire time, plotting vengeance.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains.

This is a dog that doesn’t have the Sunday scaries. He frets not about rent or groceries or bills. He doesn’t care who’s running the government or what fresh hell awaits us this week.
A white-ish, scruffy dog lays on a mounded afghan on a sofa, upside down, snoozing. Comfortable?

So, um, Nosferatu is, like, really good.

My parents got tickets for this and I’m insanely jealous as I’ve had a love affair with that engine since the early 90’s. Hanging in my dining nook:
