'Potential'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Anyway you can go away for a weekend?
Not really. One of the lesser-discussed downsides to dead grandparents is the lack of people willing to take your kids for a weekend. Otherwise I'd be totally on board the go-to-Texas train.
eh, I'm just being grumbly because I was looking forward to getting some time to myself to write, and so far the quiet afternoons have been most productive. But I'll ovary up and deal.
Timelies all!
Weather's been in the 90s for most of the week, and is forecast to be the same through the weekend. Of course. This weekend is the Washington Folk Festival, which is mostly outdoors.
The weather is completely wacky. The forecast for great swathes of the country is for temperatures higher than here. That almost never happens. Although the 90 we have forecast is plenty.
We're under a tornado watch. I have a co-worker who is Polish and listens to Polish radio at her desk. Oddly enough the weather in Poland today was also rainy and windy.
Thanks, le n. good idea
I found a pdf of a total of dog attacks, by breed, in the US & Canada from 1982-2009.
The usual suspects aren't surprising, except for just how many attacks they involve. What gets me is the 1 reported Pomerian attack. I would love more details about that.
You just know Pomeranian attacks are underreported.
I knew a victim in one of those fatal attacks; she was a coworker at UGA. (See the notes, under Dobermans. She was walking her dog on their country road and was killed by a pack of dogs someone had abandoned at a local house; her husband came looking for her in their car and was killed also. They loved animals and had about 12 rescued pets themselves.)
that's terrible, flea. ugh.
Oh, God, flea, how awful.
I haven't said anything until now, but I've been vibing for all possible peace and ease and closure to Suela, her mom, and all her family since last night.
