It was very Hunger games feeling. Not the team training part, but the real thing started kinda without warning and anyone who had been a trainer or non-participant was just gone. It was freaky.
Slap my hand now!

Greys are not fluent in stairs. It took Daisy weeks to figure out how to go down them.
I'm actually happy if she follows me up and down them.
(Of course, the only real command she knows and responds to all the time is "Your bed." to indicate that, no, she can't go up on our bed right then. Really, if I can get her to master "off" to mean "no countersurfing, dumbass", I figure we're set.)

Darb's most reliable command is "hold it" which basically stops her in her tracks. Between that and leave it we can muddle through most situations.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ooh, we need to teach "hold it." That would be a handy command.
So I feel the need to share: We shop at the Columbia outlet near my parents' house and I have this favorite pair of shorts that I keep buying. So this summer I packed a couple of the identical shorts. And all summer I kept thinking, man my weight is really fluctuating. I dunno if it's bloating or what.
Turns out the shorts are different sizes and I've been freaking out all summer for nothing! I just noticed today!

Nothing~ma to you, lisah.
At 4:30 this morning I dropped CJ off for a search (very slim chance of rescue). The person they are looking for has been missing since July 25th. Haven't heard a peep from him, so I assume they are still out there looking. The missing hiker is a teacher at a school for the gifted.

PC - BART shut down cell service and internet access the other day to prevent demonstrations. So this is the "retaliation".
