Honestly, I think I just stopped noticing the hours after about 12.
My flight to the USA last year was 13 hours to Toronto, a stop for a couple of hours, and then 5 more to LA. I was completely surprised when the plane landed (especially since I didn't sleep, so I thought I'd notice the time flowing by).
The differences in the durations of flights back and forth - do they happen because of the winds?
Someone brought a dog to krav yesterday and left it outside. So while everyone else was doing actual kravvy stuff, I went out and petted it a bit. Very well behaved Alsatian. Because instructors are a disturbed lot, this sparked a "dog defence" discussion, which boiled down to "carry a gun" and "expect to lose a forearm."
Dog was very polite. Just sat and watched the shenanigans around it (well, it moved to sit in the flowerbed at one point) until its owner came and took it with. I hope it comes back. Seemed too sensible to take on a moose.
As cute as these dogs?
Considerably, magnificently, tremendously, and absolutely cuter.
Are you doing bad drugs?
I got a kick out of this (from cnn.com):
In the San Diego mayor's race, Republican Jerry Sanders, a former police chief, defeated surf shop owner Donna Frye, a Democratic city councilwoman who was denied the office last year after a court battle over a disputed election. Sanders will be the city's fourth mayor in the past year, amid a wave of political turmoil that has swept the nation's seventh-largest city.
FOURTH MAYOR? Man. Politicians in San Diego, get your act together!
The first time my dog Mac came into contact with a horse was pure comedy gold. It was like, "Whoa! What's this big thing here?"
That reminds me of Richard Pryor's bit about his dogs meeting a miniature horse. They ran up to greet it, thinking - "Hey! A dog!" then caught a whiff of horse-smell and stopped dead in their tracks, deeply flummoxed. They went into sniff and snuff mode to sort out the issue until one dog concluded, "I don't know what it is, but I'm gonna fuck it."
The horse took issue.
