Dogs go to more places

The AZ Republic has an article on new places where folks take their dogs.

  • Workplaces. Unfortunately mine is not one of these.
  • Shopping Malls and Stores. My dogs’ favorite is Olsen’s Grain, where I purchase their food.
  • Restaurant outdoor patios.
  • Weddings and other social events. Why not, dogs are very social creatures.
  • Very small dogs are carried in special purses or wheeled carriers. No, no. Dogs love to walk, even the smallest breeds. Don’t carry your dog, walk him or her.

I think my dogs are family, or from their perspective we are pack members, so this trend is great.

Americans have right to guns under landmark ruling – Yahoo! News via kwout

We won a big one here. Cool. But it was 5 to 4 split, something to keep in mind when voting for President as the next Pres will likely get to make some Supreme Court choices.

Japan suicides near record high in 2007 – Yahoo! News via kwout

Surely this is not correct!  How come Japanese kill themselves so often when there are virtually no firearms in private hands? The gun control cabal would have us believe guns are the cause of violence. Could they be wrong? Ask the Japanese.

7 straight days of 110°+ – and now, summer starts via kwout

Only 114 degrees in Phoenix today. When I lived there I’d go into hybernation in the summer, which lasts 6 months. I’m grateful to be living in Prescott (since 1999).

Phoenix people, I wish you the best.

Next president could reshape Supreme Court via kwout

Nightmare: Supreme Court Justice Hillary Clinton. Think about that for a moment, but not right after eating.
