All of the annoying fantasies
That liberals insist are true
Just show that instead of wine
Koolaid is their favorite brew

They’ve insisted that socialism
Makes everything equal and fair-
It didn’t work in the old USSR-
It doesn’t seem to work anywhere

They fear each change in weather-
And reify it as “global warming”
If so-why are they the only ones
Who find any changes so alarming...

That link worked for me-that is not the way for reasonable people to disagree-when we were kids, if we wished harm on someone, one of my aunts always told us nunca chingar con otros-lo va a volver a usted, and she was absolutely right...

Husky girl turned 17 a couple of weeks ago, and it is obvious that she hasn’t got much longer to live-she sleeps longer and longer, takes more time to wake up completely-one day soon, she will not wake up from a nap. Her paws run and she does her happy-bark in her sleep. I think she is spending time in the next world already in her dreams, doing what she enjoys, like I believe people do when they know they are going to leave this one soon.

I’m taking her wherever she wants to wander to when we walk, taking my lunch with me and sharing it with her when she stops to sit down at a favorite place-I want her to be completely happy-she has all her favorite treats, and anything else she might want. She deserves that and more for just showing as much courage as my Chow or either of my German Shepherds did by snarling like a wolf and getting between me and that man who broke in the front door the first day I was here-she is also possibly the best companion dog I’ve ever had...

I can’t think how much I will miss her when she is gone, but I’m very glad I could provide her with so long and happy a life-and a lot better one than many humans have, especially in 3d world countries...

I was so happy to hear that 5 hostages will finally be home from Iran-but it sounds like the dumbass in chief gave away more stuff than even Jimmy Carter tried to-and the WH insists it was not a prisoner swap, when it obviously was-with the US getting the least bnefit, as usual. I admit I’m cynical, but I don’t think this is going to promote any better relations with anyone-least of all Iran, since they held and humiliated our sailors just a couple days ago, and most of us are pissed about that, no matter what that clown Kerry says-I think the whole deal stinks...

Husky girl was waiting for me just inside the door when I got home from work, happy and bouncing around like a young dog to be taken out for a walk in the sunshine-after she had run around sniffing everywhere and charging after squirrels, she shared my tuna salad, ate a couple of cups of her food and is taking a nap here by my chair-she doesn’t seem ready to quit the race yet...
