Consuela, those who rescue young dogs whose owners gave them up because they were too energetic and needed running-with are also heroes.
Definitely! The group I volunteer with gets Labs of all ages. It just so happens that I adopted all of mine when they were between the ages of 6 and 7; they're now 10-1/2 to 13-1/2. We get more dogs ages 1-6 in need of homes than any other age group. The typical scenario is the undertrained and underexercised adolescent or young adult who is either a stray or is given up by someone who got a pup without considering the pup's needs.
I have to admit that I've never read a HP book.
Okay, a UPS truck pulled up and stopped across the street.
The first UPS truck of the day.
Why wasn't it delivering MY BOOK???
Emmett is famous! Too bad they didn't have a photo. I thought all newspapers like angelically scrappy young faces in their pages.
Got my book, reading it out on the patio. Life feels sweet this AM.
How long for the insane crowds to go away? Think I can buy the book tonight or tomorrow?
My local big-ass-chain bookstore elected not to put the book on sale at midnight, but just to start selling it at regular business hours today.
Emmett is famous!
I showed him that his name comes up when you google it. He was very excited. "I'm on the internet!"
Timelies all!
Looks like we will make a bookstore run before we hit ArtScape, so I may have HP7 today after all.
That is cool. I will never be able to google my name and actually find me. My name is way too common.
Emmett Smay's are in relatively short supply.
Buffistas! Come visit!
Startup airline Virgin America's plunge into the low-cost air travel market this week prompted fare cuts by two major rivals on Friday, holding out the prospect of a price war on several popular routes -- at least until the new carrier's low introductory offerings expire in November.
Virgin America, based in Burlingame, began selling tickets Thursday for travel beginning Aug. 8 through early next year. The carrier is offering very low initial fares, customary when an airline is promoting something special -- which, in Virgin America's case, is its birth.
Virgin America offers a $139 coach class fare for a one-way trip from its home airport, San Francisco International Airport, to John F. Kennedy International Airport. That was matched on Friday by JetBlue, which calls JFK home, and has pioneered amenities that Virgin America will be offering, such as leather seats and TV seatback screens. JetBlue's lowest published fare on that route had been $179.
