Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

More puppies! And Laura (with whom I haven't posted in forever) and ND (maybe looking at it as a very late hour of night, instead of early morning?).

Nope, there's no content in this post. I've looked. If the electrons had a sofa, I'd look under it. If it were the kind of thing that has "up" and "down". Maybe I'd find the bug I'm looking for there, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It isn't very often that you praise oatmeal, you know?

I send up a silent prayer every third or fourth consumption of oatmeal. In fact, when I have today's steel cut oats, I'll make sure to. You guys don't need to praise oatmeal. ita has it well covered.

If you get miniscule enough, not only will there be up and down, but also charm and truth and beauty. Strange.

Strange.

I love this post in every order of magnitude possible.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Up, walked the pup, and am now thinking about...oatmeal.

Gotta wait for my migraine meds to kick in, though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Weird.

At a time of increased focus on drug testing in sports, one of the most controversial issues in horse racing might surprise the casual fan: How much cocaine should be allowed in a racehorse?

Some race fans might guess the answer is "none," but racing officials across the country wrestle with whether to disqualify horses for trace amounts of the drug.

Robin, feel better.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Nilly! I'm watching one of these home-makeover shows, and the current homeowner are Othodox, so they just explained that the usually huggy designer guy wouldn't be able to hug the wife of the family, like he'll want to. This is actually a thing I love about these shows -- they have all kinds of people.

Mostly lurking...

Robin has a cutie puppy! I hope your migraine goes away, though, Robin. That's no fun!

NILLY!

Kashi Instant Oatmeal "Raisins and Spice" is da bomb, I'd just like to observe. It isn't very often that you praise oatmeal, you know?

I love the Kashi Raisins and Spice Oatmeal. I throw in a few slivered almonds and dried cherries as well.

I think I may make a batch of steel cut oatmeal today for breakfast on Monday and Tuesday. And when I say "I", I mean, I'll see if Tom will do it. Mostly because this oatmeal stuff is new to me.

Oatmeal is nature's perfect food. OK, maybe you have to add milk and fruit to it before it's perfect.
