I like to remember that Picasso created Guernica during the height of WW2

I can’t help myself with the go-go ga-ga talk, but I don’t think he understands. But he does know that when I talk baby-talk, I’m speaking to him, and that nice treats are likely to follow if he pays attention.

Agree about the winter coat, though my choice is a London Fog poplin trench with good liner. Works as a winter coat, rain coat, and you can will the thing to your children.

This is the result of perverse incentives. Law enforcement is under pressure to show a reduction in crime stats - many state and federal grants are dependent on this reduction. Cops are incentivized to cooks the books by discouraging reporting of crime by the citizenry.

Would you mind outlining some of the ways to get inaccurate info removed from your report?

As a day sleeper, I’d quickly lose it without white noise tracks on my cell phone. I use white noise sounds from Youtube https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=white+noise

My personal laundromat tips to throw in the mix -

That’s awful.

Since I’ve never been able to find a Zero, EVER, in stock anywhere for $5, I call B.S. on this article. I’ve never seen a Pi at the OEM price in the wild. Pi’s are like a magical unicorn horn - obtained by innocent virgins, capable of mystical powers, and ultimately a con.

And can I add to the list - providing transportation?

Yeah, I’ve checked out doing the raw prey diet for my kitty boy, and yeah, it’s an $$$ pain.

Remember that cops have an incentive to show that they are reducing crime stats. The cops probably weren’t looking for a hole in your story; they were looking for a way to report the crime as something other than an armed robbery.

Hasn’t a raw food diet been tested on cats for thousands of years?

I also use Blinkist. For $50 bucks a year they provide about 400 summaries of the latest non-fiction titles.

My Andy-Kitty is leashed trained, but I’m always scared that he’ll somehow slip his lead or get out of the house.

Some of those piggies can get pretty big. A family I sponsored in Peru told me that Guinea Pigs that are raised for table eating can get about 16 pounds.

This is why you can’t keep a hippo as a pet -

The only border collie I’ve met who wasn’t a neurotic mess was owned by I guy who was also allowed, in his city, to own a flock of ducks. The ducks would run around the back yard, and the collie would run circles around them.

Depends on the pig. Most CAFO pigs are raised in disgusting conditions that torture the pig, so taking a 300 pound pig from a farm and expecting to cuddle it is asking for trouble.
