Hell, we'll go for the trifecta:

In case you were wondering how many clear Lego pieces you can put on front of each other until you can no longer see through them.
 
They shouldn't be allowed to be marketed as "clear", then.
 
Paul Merton appears to be growing a mullet.

Trigger warning: Groundhog murder.

The Dog likes murdering groundhogs. It's her sole joy. The neighbor does not enjoy murder (I don't either), but she also does not enjoy having her barn dug up and all her feed eaten. So it's a mixed blessing when The Dog gets a groundhog on the property. (Twice a day we rove the countryside in search of whistle pigs to kill).

This afternoon there was a big, bold, stupid one in the middle of my driveway. I cagily let The Dog Out and pointed repeatedly, with increasing frustration, as she did not see the 'hog in the yard while it scampered to safety.

We did an uneventful walk and got home so I could mow over-long grass. The tank was about empty when I was distracted by barks. Stupid, suicidal whistle-pig had apparently decided to be stupid and suicidal. Judging from the state of its coat, it had done this before (but survived--with damage) but it was doomed today. I actually felt bad, because she didn't zoom in on the neck and ribcage for a quick kill. For whatever reason she spent a lot of time tossing it around, but in the end she finished it.

As is her wont, she dragged it up on the back porch to relish her trophy. But eventually she had to come In. There is a fox that has learned that my dog provides welfare for her and her kits. So I don't have to bury as many groundhogs as I used to. So at one point she alerted and went nuts. I took my time, letting her out, because I don't really want her to fight a fox. And her trophy was secure. But for whatever reason, I let her out again just now, and the carcass was gone. Senorita Fox strikes again.

Oh. I remember the reason: I wanted a gummy bear from the jar on the table and that roused her. So sue me.

I switched it out for another version, but you have to skip to 7:30 (but the whole video is great too if you loved the show)
 
 
 
 
I have just achieved new appreciation for the old ditty known as "Bust a Move" by the artist known as "Young MC".
 
Summing up my mood right now: I gave up alcohol for Lent and it helped me lose about 7# and reset my system as far as alcohol use. That said, I don't need a 3rd cocktail tonight. I don't particularly want a 3rd cocktail tonight. And I know a 3rd cocktail tonight will make me feel crappy(er) in the morning, but by God, I'm going to have one, just to punish my body and brain for the stress and frustration it subjects me to by being alive in the USA in the year 2026.
 
...and if I was having any second thoughts on this course of action, my dog just started going nuts. Since The Cat is Out, I jumped up and rushed to let her Out, in case she needed to protect The Cat from being murdered by something, but The Cat was fine (if confused), on the deck as she rushed past him. I tried to at least coax him in but instead he wandered off to see what The Dog was up to.
 
The joys of being a high-functioning introvert. Had to act normal for 2 hours or so this morning. Now I'm exhausted and need some alone time to recharge.
 
  1. I'm baked and watching Julia Child make quiche lorraine in an episode of the French Chef from 1963. Did you know she was a WWII spy?

  2. It's true, she was with the CIA before it was the CIA.

  3. OSS, maybe.​
