A story in a small paper becomes an internet sensation!
Here is the story in its entirety:
Dog injures nose
POLICE in Ringwood are investigating the circumstances surrounding an injury to a dog’s nose.
A woman was walking her dog and puppy, when her puppy ran off.
Her dog ran after the puppy but collided with a male dog walker and his dog.
The woman's dog received an injury to his nose.
The comments are priceless. EG:
It's outrageous that something like this is allowed to happen in this country.
and
Shocked and disgusted. There's nothing but bad news now days. What sort of world are we leaving for our children?
I want this to be addressed in the next prime ministeral debates. Let's see Nick Clegg talk himself out of this one.
Then there's this update:

Johnny Depp has instincts I admire.

He has a yacht in the Caribbean, and it's outfitted with velvet and plush furniture and dim lighting. It looks like an early 20th-century steam yacht.
I saw that today on Jezebel, Jesse. I'm tempted to get a copy.

Question for your smart cooking types:
I roasted a whole slew of veggies last night (you guys inspired me) and I forgot about them, so they're a leetle bit soggier than I like (but still really good--I ate a large plate last night and it was delicious). I have a lot of leftovers. Am I nuts in thinking I can puree them, add cream, and voila, cream of veggie soup? The veggies were red onion, asperagus, green beans, fingerling potatoes (with sea salt, olive oil and fresh rosemary).
Help a girl out, please?
Sounds good to me, javachik. Or maybe a fritatta?
It looks interesting, right, Amy?
It does, Jesse. I'm just not sure I'll be able to find it up here, but possibly B&N will have it.
Or maybe a fritatta?
Yeah, that's my usual fallback. Hence the soup-making. It was gorgeous all weekend but we're going to have rain for three days starting tomorrow; that's soup weather, right there!
Bizarre Facebook friend requests: my ex-uncle. He was divorced from my aunt in the mid-1980s; I'm pretty sure I last saw him when I was 10. I mean, I did like him when I was 10, and his kids are my cousins and we're pals (especially the one close in age to me). But?
