One month with rescue. He's not keen on humans, men more so. Plus other issues.

He's my 3rd dog, 1st was a bogo, ( wife and dog), then my pick, now hers. First rescue. He's at my feet, with fav human upstairs. How anyone could mistreat such lifeforms is beyond me.

Started the year with a full tank, had to get a refill a while back and it looks like another refill is in the works. My guage slow crawls to half then sprints to empty. A 2001 Sebring so 25 years to get to 80k. Doing my bit to help fight global warming.

What's 'good meat, and fresh meat and vegetables' ?

Going to have a word with cardiologist about my antiquated diet once these new ones come out.

This is insane.

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”

Saw this said - When MAGA says being gay is a life choice, it's because they are at least bisexual if not straight up gay; and have chosen to present as straight. Their hatred of gays is a mix of self loathing and hatred that they can be openly gay.

Someone needs to tell him that's a 'they are seen as a good human' aspect to the prizes. Those last two words are going to be hard to obtain for him.

For Trump world, the focus shifts to next year's Nobel Peace Prize
The president's supporters say Donald Trump should have won the international honor this year. With a Middle East peace deal in sight, he should be a lock to win in '26, they contend.

A while back i posted some progress on the 3rd in a learner pack of wooden model boats. The Lobster (Lobstah ?) Smack is finished. Hull is about 12 inches long for reference.

That Trump lost to a female, dark haired, brown skinned, prime candidate for ICE abduction: is perfection. Does gold leaf stand up to ketchup?

Typical, can't use the program if you use health insurance. Won't help typical Americans. Sounds good and gets into news but just another Potemkin village.

President announces TrumpRx website for drugs, and pricing deal with Pfizer
The Trump administration says it is making deals with drug companies to lower prices U.S. consumers pay for medicines. But key details are missing on how the initiative would work.

1984, page 263 in final bits of Smiths torture, O'Brien "We know that no one siezes power with the intention of relinquishing it." Page 267 "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face- forever."

So much truth in this old book.

"In the long run, a hierarchical society was only possible on a basis of poverty and ignorance" From 'The Theory and Practice of Oligarchal Collectivism' by Emmanul Goldstein, chapter 3, War is Peace. Sounds familiar.

I oppose this, but that crack would allow a foot, then a leg etc., and it would be glorious for the amendment of the 2nd to start with it (47).

The first signs of spring have appeared. In between the strawberry plants, Muscari bulbs have sprouted. If we have a snowless winter, the bunnies will have nibbled them to the ground.

Been getting more and more spam texts/calls. Blocking unknown callers may be helping but if they spoof a valid number it doesn't block. I found a decent alternative. Do Not Disturb BUT allow calls and messages from contacts. I also allowed repeat dialers in (Verizon on Samsung 22) 15 minutes.
