I am so sick for biking in the wind. How do the RAGBRAI folks do that for a week? Everytime I decide "Oooh, let's go ride" it's windy. Gusts to 26 mph today.

Mile 10: Braked to avoid cute little east African girls who were carelessly walking on the bike path with their mom. Hope they were heading for shade because it was 90.

Mile 13: Stopped at Hidden Beach at Cedar Lake. Used to be the informal nude beach before uppity neighbors complained and made park board turn it into a formal beach. The mud bath is still there. I think 55's dog would make a beeline for that mud!

Mile 18: Home, too hot, too windy. I are whimp.
 
vet friend posted pic of bot fly larvae she removed from a kitten. Also a pic of the hole it left in the back of the kitten's head. (Kitten shall survive and looked downtrodden by otherwise well)


in a possible coincidence, today I feel quite certain that deciding against pursuing the vet path was the correct choice for me.

This is why you don't take your pets on vacations to Belize.
 
I forgot a few items when I got groceries. So I decided to price check between HyVee, Target, and Walmart. Walmart had the most expensive nail clippers at over $3.60. The other two are only 75 cents apart. So the question is how far do I really want to drive.

Just don't order from Amazon, or you know who will be upset...:D

So there's a video on Facebook about domesticating foxes and having them as pets. One of my friends commented, "no, why can't we just let the wild be wild? Protect it, don't domesticate it!"

This girl has like 3 ******* dogs. o_O
 
My brother in law is a vet and has had pets come in to be euthanized for various stupid reasons. His dog is one, I believe my mother had two cats that he took in instead of putting down. unfortunately he can't save them all.

We were just talking about wanting to save all the animals this weekend. Oldest wants to be a vet so watches all the vet shows out there; this came up on an episode of Dr. Dee we were watching. Daughter said she would totally want to do that. On the Dr. Jeff vet show, everyone who works at his clinic has at least one rescued pet that was once a patient.
 
KC, saw an ad today Kitty Olympics Fri. Aug.5 7pm Central, Hallmark Channel.

In other news bagged 89 quarts of sweet corn today.

What was up with the crazy Japanese dude stabbing all those people?

I think I've said it in here, but if I won the lotto, I'd open a vet clinic that charges based on income. Yes, people would take advantage of it, but it'd be for the greater good and I'd like to think more people would help their sick pets instead of just put them to sleep if they "got too expensive to take care of."

Perfect drop top and drive evening. Even the songs on the radio were perfectly awesome. Walleye sammich and a Big Island Blonde Ale at lakeside bar. Windy head wind ride today earned those.
 
So I've noticed this site doesn't alert you every time some one likes a post. My county fair post in here has 9 likes but only got maybe 2 like alerts.
 
So JC stands for Junior Cobra. Now I know.

Went to the local fair, they have a kids rodeo where they do these little games for the kids. When my 15 yo was 4-5 years old they did mutton bustin. Basically throw a loose bike helmet on a kid, slap them on the back of a sheep and tell them to grab wool and hang on while the sheep goes crazy. Told my son I wish they still did that. He informed me that he was scared mindless doing it. He got a sheep that threw him into a fence and then jumped the fence. Another threw him off and stomped on the helmet. Another time he came back with a mouth full of dirt ( This was his second ride of the night). I asked him why he did it, he said "You were always able to talk me into doing it".
