A lioness plays with two of her three cubs as they make their first public appearance in their enclosure at Paris Zoological Park. The lion cubs, Atlas, Kibo and Shani, were born to parents Aswad, the lioness, and Nero.
It had been several days since I last mowed so I went out yesterday to get the SW corner knocked down a bit. It was dry enough there was actually some dust this time! Much faster mowing when the grass isn’t wet and clumpy. I parked the mower in the garage —— first time all season now that we have all of A&B’s stuff out of there.
I watched some of the TV coverage of the Faux News GQP political “debate”. Amazing that a phony television network gets to decide who gets to debate. And this debate will actually determine which clowns get on the ballot. Along with this insanity is the ever present King Clown Agolf Twitler. I don’t have much hope for a huge portion of our society when a charlatan like this guy is the front runner. Of course there really isn’t much else to choose from. I also find it hilarious that everyone is finally coming to the conclusion that Duh-bya was the smarter brother. OMG.
Just got into my first online flap about this. Somebody said something about the upcoming “Presidential debate” and I replied I didn’t know any had been announced. They said the debate on Faux News tomorrow and I said, “I’m sorry —— I was talking about a real debate. I didn’t know you were talking about the Faux News GQP commercial.” Boom.
“We didn’t go on strike now,” District 1 Vice President Dennis Trainor said, “because we believed the company wanted us to go on strike now… By not striking now they have to pay the scabs and pay their hotel bills while we work.”

From the article: “The ACLU says shackling children at school exacerbates their disabilities. The organization instead calls for law enforcement to learn de-escalation skills when working in an educational environment.”
I would have thought law enforcement would be taught de-escalation skills when working in ANY environment. If we take away their guns I’ll bet they would learn some de-escalation skills real quick.

Hi Michael, Tracey and I were discussing this last evening when it showed on the news —— she was livid. The acronym SMH is something I will be using more often I think. Shaking My Head. School districts almost automatically call the cops anymore instead of dealing with these issues themselves and that is because the cops rarely get sued for this behavior and if they do it doesn’t come out of the school budget.
