Not Cha, Cha, Cha, unfortunately.
The puppies are driving us both crazy with their chew tactics. Not only are all their former chew toys spread in bits and pieces all over the living room... but Bo decided to whet her teeth on the corner of the platform that our woodstove stands on. Now we have a giant 'bite' right out of the wood that looks like monsters visited. She did it while the Brick was absorbed in some paperwork.
The stinker.
After all --
Otherwise, it's pretty quiet. This is busy season for Daughter #2 and Son #1, vending at rock shows. Here's where they'll be the next few weeks. Daughter #1 has been on the road for her job, and summer is always busy for Adopted Son #1's renovation company.
So we generally stay home, putter around, take care of the dogs...the Brick works on the trailer, and I work on reports. I am hoping to pretty much clear them out by the end of this week. I have a trip to Denver by the end of the month -- and more reports to start working on.
The Boulder attack was heartbreaking. We met a concentration camp survivor at the Miami airport, and the Brick had a long and nourishing talk with her. We -- especially he -- were amazed at her courage and resiliance. Oh, that we all could be...
A breakthrough for an HIV cure? I sure hope so.
The guy who ran a marathon -- with 24 hours notice. (Okay, he walked part of it, too!)
Yep, this is a "relatively calm" protest...ummm, what's that column of smoke rising behind you -- a barbecue?
Rice paper dumplings... yum. (From Khins Kitchen. These are gluten-free, too.)
Why aren't Jimmy Kimmel and others making a big deal about news of Biden's cognitive decline? Hmmm....'crickets,' my family would say.
The Dead Sea Scrolls may be even older than previously thought.
Sovereignty won the Belmont Stakes. (Journalism, winner of the Preakness, was second.)
Famous body parts -- separated from their original owners. You'd think hearts, but a lot of other pieces were whacked off and distributed, as well. Not just of saints, either.
In keeping with this: 25 death masks of famous people. Incredible.
A two-year-old takes a little ride on a luggage conveyor belt....including a drop into the baggage bin. Why wasn't Mom paying attention??? (Secret confession: I have always wanted to do this.)
An illuminating post on William Morris and his designs.
The kid who worked for Burger King gets a $10K scholarship from them! (...and so does the daughter of the woman who brought him to public attention. Good for Burger King -- I just wish they'd done this sooner.)
Awkward moments on 'Finding Your Roots.' We can try to ignore our past, but we can't make it go away.
A crop pathogen -- brought into the U.S. by Chinese 'researchers.' Fortunately, they were caught.
She's 'no longer a Democrat.' (I'll let you click on this after you guess.)
Did Israeli soldiers really open fire on a Gaza food distribution? The foundation doing the distributing says no. And the Washington Post retracted their accusations. Hmmm.
Finally -- a pennyanny dress. (Ok, a nickley and dimey one, too.)
Have a great week.
