mandrewa said...: What a beautiful scene. I liked watching that.

But I didn't like seeing this: BLM supporter shoots woman for saying "All Lives Matter" and the news media tries to cover up what happened

She was white, or maybe Hispanic, and she was shot three times, including in the head, by multiple black men.; 7/12/20, 2:58 PM

guildofcannonballs said...: Disgusting.

Althouse's jealously ought be confined to lack of a certain commentator's ****.

Or, were the real people, not avatars with a blog, who spoke the truth for 40 years more accurate?; 7/12/20, 4:11 PM
guildofcannonballs said...: I guess, Thomas Wictor might know?, it is akin to champing at a leg after having been freshly cut, with the rest of the soon-to-be corpse alive and expecting a magic cure quickly, any second now, to end the pain.; 7/12/20, 4:14 PM

reader said...: According to the breed standard, one of the significant features of the Labrador is supposed to be the breed’s “otter tail.” The tail is a working component of a working breed. The Lab uses their tail to maneuver in water as they retrieve birds. The water is often cold, and choppy. The tail acts like a rudder for the dog as she swims. Remember, this breed originated in the sea off the coast of Newfoundland.

Unknown said...: For those who appreciate relatively obscure facts of all kinds, this happy pup is actually a Flat-coated Retriever. (Having grown up with Flatties, it's always exciting to see one. No word in the breed histories as to whether there's any kinship with otters :)); 7/13/20, 1:30 PM
