Shadow the Lab is Ash's house mate. Another foster fail that my 'never had a dog' partner adopted. She and Shadow are now tightly bonded and happy. At first Shadow was afraid of the water. She began to notice other dog swimming out and fetching. Now it's all she will do at the beach.

Ash the Lab as a puppy farm dog. He came to me as a foster for MLRR. He was so good with Hershey the Lab who had terminal cancer that I kept him. Other than barking his heart out for the first few block in the trailer he is a laid back dude.

At least they FINALLY admitted why they refused to negotiate on the shutdown. First they lied and promised Dems they would “negotiate” this, but only AFTER they voted for the CR. But Dems were correct when they assessed that Republicans NEVER intended to extend these subsidies.

Damn. That's awesome. I wonder if I scale the results based on population what's the number for my little town. Math isn't my best thing but that's about 1 trip per day for every hundredth person living in Paris. OK I need to do 732 trips in one day. Umm

Snow? Probably not. The Lake is still too warm.
A storm will track north of the Great Lakes Friday with widespread rain showers across the Eastern U.S. along and ahead of its cold front. A Pacific storm will continue moving across the Northwest U.S. into Friday with additional low elevation rain, gusty winds, and mountain snow.

Got one for my tenant and one for myself. I just boil water, but she's a chef. She loves it. The boiled water is pretty good and the indoor air quality is much better.
💯. Got induction because of air quality inside our home and climate benefits, but now I like it so much better for cooking. Like, I don’t ever want a gas stove again. Ever.
Faster, safer, cleaner, and easier: This is why you should consider switching to an induction stove. www.reviewed.com/ovens/featur...

Accepting the 1936 nomination, FDR made a speech the language of which Zohran Mamdani mirrored last night:
“These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power.“
This is Democratic language.
