The Wicker Man?

We got our second dog 3 years ago, and I love having two as well. We also went through a period of re-adjustment while the older one basically used to sit staring at me while the newcomer misbehaved, as if to ask 'WHY, DAD, WHY???'.

This was them when we got her...

....and more recently

The rescue place told us the second one was a Jack Russell cross. She weighs 50 pounds.

Interesting article. It would be interesting to "see" one. Is it like one of those military board games?

I think that the hardest thing is to accurately play the enemy. Almost impossible for someone who has a career in the US military to be able to think like the China or Russia or someone like that.

Darn it! I had a really thoughtful reply here (I even wrote bullet points on paper as I was thinking about it) before the forum issue. Oh well. I think my points, similar to @taiwan_girl was:

I really enjoy viewing satellite maps, zooming in on remote towns around the world, viewing their stores (if they even have one) and other details I went down the wikipedia blackhole about the northwest passage (NWP) Further read about Amundsen and his trek to the south pole, then north pole, the 3-year journey to make it through the NWP.. even how he celebrated by docking in San Fran in 1906... but the town was a little busy with something that happened earlier in the year (the massive earthquake)

I thought they should make a movie about Amundsen... guess they did make one (foreign film) in like 2019 that I'll have to check out

Another good, if less technical, tome is How To Cook Without A Book.

Interesting. I had no idea this went on.

At least for me, I usually only use Wikipedia for history type articles. I almost never use for companies.

Is there any US car company that makes sedans any more?

(Side note, I thought that this quote was funny

a car so beloved by the masses that it was once the go-to choice for police departments

I am not sure the first part of the sentence has anything to do with the second. LOL)

Wow. Not sure that there could be any charges, right? Maybe driving dangerously ro something like that?

Will this one get shot down too?

Compared to other celebrities who have dermatology procedures, I think she looks great.

Posturing as bad as Putin.

" President Biden griped to former President Barack Obama that “she” is “not as strong as me” — with Obama agreeing “that’s true” — in a stunning off-mic conversation deciphered for The Post by a professional lip reader."

To further hijack... this video also helps show the "holy crap a massive building is falling but, being controlled" feeling.

Well, if they did do this, we'd for sure buy it. Jeni's did a Thai spice ice cream, so why not?

Skyline is planning on expanding to other regions. I don't think it will work. It's rather an acquired taste.

It was also International Pronouns Day.

I shit they not.
