Something is amiss here.
It's Friday night, and I'm slaving over the stove. I'm finishing off cooking 8 cups of rice and 2 dozen eggs. Meanwhile, 12 dogs (for whom the eggs and rice cook) lounge about, listening to jazz.

When did this transition of power occur?

1. I blame the Hare Krishnas mostly.
Their relentless assault on the tranquility of the airport terminals has irreparably torn the fabric of the universe. That, or it was when you started driving a station wagon.

3. It's NOT a station wagon!!1!
It's a high performance animal rescue vehicle! A hot hatch! The fastest front wheel drive car...oh, forget it. Fine, it's a wagon.

Dammit.

20. Oh, there are
lots of places.

It's all about traffic. Today, there was this A4 and then a Boxster that some guy thought was quick.

What guy buys a Boxster?

13. heh heh
I knew someone would remember. 5 of the kids get a hearty mix of rice, veggies and eggs. Veggies are carrots, bok choi, summer squash, zucchini, spinach, green beans, peas and a touch of corn for taste.

19. had a terrier mix once
Dog was a little pig, would gobble anything you put in front of her. But she would leave three peas if they were there. Don't know how she did it.

22. They love it.
One of the rescues here refuses to eat commercial dog food, no matter the quality. However, the flvegan mix is snarfed up like it's biscuits and gravy.

25. TRUE LOVE is never amiss
the only thing that's amiss is the critters not knowing how lucky :loveya: they are. But that's okay too.. making their existence and their never realizing.. that's good Goodness.

29. Didn't Seinfeld have a joke about humans picking dog shit?
I think he said that if aliens from another planet landed and watched humans walking their dogs, picking up their shit in platic baggies, who do you think the aliens would think was the species in charge here?

32. You

Free range organic from a farm someone I know and trust visited. Fairly happy little cluckers there.
