North Carolina wishes you a joyful and festive Halloween!

Congratulations to Tim Miller for winning the Internet today with this headline:

Hey NYT Spelling Bee, what year is it where you are?

Bugby used to have a bad habit of finding an open room, going inside, and then shutting the door. I'd get home from work, hear a plaintive meow, and find her in the pantry or the laundry room or a closet, where she'd locked herself god only knows how long ago.

…replete with signs to hold up just after one has run full-tilt off the edge of a cliff.

MUSICAL MYSTERY SOLVED:
“You’re So Vain” was actually written about country singer Red Sovine, and Mick Jagger was the only performer on the record who came close to pronouncing his name correctly.

Predictive text to the rescue

…the kind of good, clean fun that might require 4" x 1.75" antibiotic Band-Aids.

Happy Friday the Firteenf from Bugby, lit from below by sunlight bouncing off a carpet.

Even when offered treats, dogs interviewed for this report politely but firmly refused to verify the story.
