I think those might be ankole cattle. I'd hoped they were yaks but African yaks are beefier.

The interrogation of Jackie.

Saving a bird from a pool.

Saving a pair of very tired dogs from a reservoir.

Cat in a hat.

A sea otter makes herself even more beautiful.

Cat's trying to steal the dog's job.

Proud mama.

Farm friendship.

Little joey.

16 The lack of AC in the euros is just a method of passive euthanasia of the elderly. Of their lower classes. That's their culture. Like the rape of the young girls is passive sterilization. Of their lower classes. The elite see themselves as a wholly separate humanity with the rest being inconvenient pesky herds of bipedal animals to be managed and culled when necessary.

18 Neat photograph, Ace.

This photograph is titled "Dinka Group at Pagarau Cattle Camp, Southern Sudan" and was taken by Sebastião Salgado in 2006.It is part of his celebrated "Genesis" series, which documents landscapes and communities that have remained largely unchanged.The image captures the close symbiotic relationship between the Dinka people and their cattle, including traditional practices such as using cowpat ash for insect protection.

34 Some dogs just will not get fetch. Everything is mine! mine! mine! all things are mine!

You can't even try multiple objects seeing if they will drop one to fetch the other. No they will try to pick up all objects in their mouth and stand guard over the rest. Eventually you'll throw something and they give you a look, "do you expect me to get that? Why would you expect that?" and they're done.

Other dogs, they were born wanting to do it. I had a beagle that loved it but they love chasing things and bringing it back instinctively.

In a nutshell, she is hospitalized with sepsis and cannot eat or walk. This follows months of difficult cancer treatment and serious surgery. So, if you would like to drop her a note, please do contact me for her address (she told me to give it to anyone who wants it).

Posted by: Blutarski

There is a yak ranch close by. The owner raises them primarily for their undercoat - think wool (not hair! damnit) not for their meat. They act like big dogs and are gentle as all get out but don't really know their own strength. The really crazy thing is, they don't stink like cattle. Pretty much they don't smell at all. Even their manure doesn't smell too bad.

She would roll a toy across the floor and he'd hear it, then go hunt for it. When he found it, he'd bat it around. Ole Casper was a nice kittuh.

Today he is still sitting in the same spot. I gotta do something, right? I call the sheriff's office. Nope, he's in the city limits. I get transferred to the police dept. They go check him out, tell him he can't ask for food or money .

Such a hard call. Around here, when I'm in the city, there's three or four at every major intersection, and in the grocery store parking lots. Who drops them there? Who picks them up? Where do they go? How much do they collect?

Gotta be in bad shape to stand in the heat or the cold all day, right? But it seems organized, and I don't know if they're legit or not. Was a time, I'd prefer to donate to a homeless shelter, but now that those frauds have been exposed, I don't know what to do to help homeless or desperate people.

110 In England there was an extremely popular band circa 1980 called The Jam. The writer, singer and guitar player is named Paul Weller. Remains popular there, known as The Modfather. He has taken to performing concerts with Hamas flags behind the band and a Hamas circle on the bass drum. You have to wonder if he gives the full Hamas concert experience, with the audience being raped and killed after the show. Even on his fan sites it seems maybe 60-70 percent think he's nuts

In a sense. And for the greater good.

The Nancy Pelosi Institute for Representative Democracy, or NPI, will be a hub for research, teaching and civic engagement rooted in a shared commitment to advancing the public good. Through faculty research initiatives, undergraduate courses and a visiting fellows program, the institute will explore what impedes progress and how best to solve political problems, from polarization to the future of artificial intelligence.
...
Basing the institute at Berkeley means it will serve a student body where one-quarter of undergraduates are the first in their family to attend college and 27% receive federal Pell Grants, which are reserved for undergraduate students who display exceptional financial need.

Another dedicated, loyal 'army' for the cause.

Volunteer to cook at a soup kitchen. Me and Marine went every third Friday of the month and cooked from scratch a meal for 75-100 homeless
folks. It was organized by a patient of mine and I asked him if we could come and help. Marine needed 100 hours of community service as a graduation requirement.

It was a great experience for both of us. We prepped and cooked and served and cleaned up with about five other people. It was busy and chaotic and HARD. But. It was nice to get a smile

This place only served homeless men. They had to already have a plan and placement in a program somewhere. They had been screened. Otherwise I would not have put my teenage boy in a position of having to defend his mom.

There were some scuffles. And some ornery patrons. But. The fact was we worked. We chopped onions and garlic and vegetables and fried chicken and pork chops and made lasagna from scratch.

Marine was the baker. He made the cookies and the pies and the brownies. And he LOVED working his ass off and having folks come back for seconds.

Not giving money. Giving time directly to the needy. Not up to me to judge if they are just working the system. Just work and serve.

184 180 Give them a pair of new socks. It’s a kind of hobo currency. Keep a pack of freshies in your car for when you're out and about. You can put water flavor packets in there too. Mosquito netting. Get creative with a sock package. Doubles as a football, pillow, iphone stand…

Hobo is one thing, bum is another.

In Anchorage, the addicts have better winter clothing than I do. They have nice new tents to live in, they are allowed to crap in the creeks and parks and pretty much anywhere they like, they aren't required to get sober to stay in nice warm shelters if they so choose, and they are never busted for trespassing, public inebriation, or drug dealing.

But I would be.

They can take their socks and stuff them down their throats.

189 "Hobo is one thing, bum is another."

I think they're pretty much the same. There's some nostalgic folklore fondness around the concept of the 'hobo' that seems off. In the hobo heyday, I doubt that people wanted them in their neighborhoods, 'charming, picturesque, and friendly' though the legend now suggests hobos were.

That's one of the best scenes. Adams is instructed how to approach the throne by bowing deeply times going in, then three times going out without turning his back on the royal person. The king seemed really unfocused, staring off in the distance. I guess he later went insane.

Yes. Hobos were migrant workers, back in the day when white people used to be migrant workers. Likely not the upper crust of society, but they did work for a living. At least sometimes.

Another difference is that hobos are mobile, pretty much by definition, while bums tend to stake out a fixed piece of turf and hang on to it.

216 Hoboes rode the rails. They (supposedly) had a code of conduct or near enough. They had an informal network and pretty much knew everyone, and what railyards were OK, where certain farmhouses along the way might provide a meal.

Riding the rails was dangerous, the railroads have their own right of way going back to the original grants, and had their own police and nobody asked too many questions if somebody disappeared off a boxcar outside of Cheyenne. It’s a very cold, loud, and dirty way to travel.
