The clocks changed yesterday and Bob can't quite understand why Angus is up and about when it's still pitch dark outside. A lengthy tickle and mano a mano reassures him that all is well.
Sophie appears shortly after. She pushes her brother out of the way in order to make sure that she too gets attention. Sophie lets out a protracted yelp of irritation when a tickle isn't immediately forthcoming.
The PONs fur now so long it's hanging off them in brush resistant strands. Usually they've had their summer cut by now but this year the unseasonably cold and wet weather has delayed it. The weather forecast is gloomy - both literally and figuratively. Rain and arctic winds forecast every day for the next two weeks. The shaggy look will be here for a while.
A quick trip to the bakers and then pandemonium as the PONs vie to be the first to let 'The Font' know that we've returned with the breakfast croissants.
Most US kids can't serve in the military. Some intriguing demographic data : https://www.heritage.org/defense/report/the-looming-national-security-crisis-young-americans-unable-serve-the-military

And finally a Stanford picture of a walking protein - which may well be the highlight of the week: https://imgur.com/gallery/TKtA28B

I assume you are aware of what SourceWatch has to say about the Heritage Foundation?
I realise now why my Lab Inca, looks at me askance so often - I refuse to discuss such weighty matters as Stormy Daniels et al. Just as well, because she sleeps through everything, except Supervet, and the dog food commercials !
Yes, a Koch Brothers favourite ( used to be funded by Coors - remember him ? ). Influential in the way only though I Street DC think tanks are. Why though take a year to pick up on this ? http://time.com/2938158/youth-fail-to-qualify-military-service/
Thanks so much for the walking protein link!

There is nothing better in the world than to announce the arrival of croissants - if you are a PON, at least! Stormy everywhere then... (*ahem*)... YAM xx
How surprising that the Heritage Foundation says school choice, not expanded preschool, is the answer to inadequate education. And the order of the report focused on education first, even though it was reason #3. Health problems were #1. And the president himself had health problems, with heel spurs that made him ineligible for the Vietnam draft but still able to play tennis and football.
I am with BOB. Blimey is right. There is nothing that can set the world to rights other than Breakfast croissants
Between them I think Romney and Trump have six sons who would have been eligible to serve in the military.
And both fathers found ways to duck service.
