We have a new dog. He's a coonhound named 'Benzo'. Not sure if he's going to work out or not. He's really afraid of everything which is making training difficult. We're still in the shelter's trial period so we'll see how it goes.
Nothing really interesting going on otherwise. Saw Pacific Rim for the first time over the weekend and I found it really entertaining, just a slick, fun movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. I also got a chance to take a look at a Ford Maverick (literally just a look at one, not get in it) and it seems like the bed is big enough to be a useful little truck. The backseat looks tighter than I'd like, though I didn't get a good look at the interior. Might see if I can manage a test drive at some point and look into ordering one if I like it.
Still finding politics pretty depressing, especially SCOTUS.
Ford Maverick
Beware the turn radius. My C-Max has a 19'3" turn radius, and it can be difficult to get into a parking space.
test drive
Go for it! Could be fun, and doesn't commit you to anything

I love Pacific Rim. It's one of my comfort movies.
I still haven't seen Pacific Rim. One of these days.
Having the all too common don't-know-what-to-have-for-lunch crisis
Thanks to Tom Scola, whenever I wonder what to have for lunch, I realize the answer is burrito. Sadly, I almost never have a burrito.
Today I went with greek salad instead of the free ice cream available to me. It is too hot to wait in line!

I made JZ a greek salad for lunch yesterday, augmented with leftovers from the Greek restaurant we went to over the weekend, so Tiropita (baked filo triangles with cheese inside) and some fancy Greek dips (one Feta & Cream cheese, and one made with fish roe that was basically a little umami bomb).
Taramasalata?? That's my fave.
I went with a BBQ sampler plate with pasta salad and coleslaw because the a/c is still wonky here and cold sides sounded good. I'll need to do a dedicated survey of nearby burritos at some point.

"Now we have a choice here: we either sit and wait, or we take these flare guns and do something really stupid."
