Her Majesty and The Big Dummy have made it to the KOA campground in Topeka. A good deal cooler there than this weekend in Waco. She sent me a picture of TBD lounging in the grass in the dog run there. He looks relaxed and happy.

14 That land is very dry. That’s why you need so many acres out west to support cattle, not to mention a reliable source of water. At least there’s no jimson weed!

You will all be pleased to know I worked out the problem with The Big Dummy's 2026 show record. A six-point discrepancy in his Grand Champion points was due to missing the Midwest Borzoi Club specialty for 5 points and crediting him with one point instead of two at another show. My books balance perfectly now.

26 Evenin', folks.

I've been watching episodes of "Freakazoid". It's so deliriously random. The 90's had some excellent cartoons, like "Animaniacs" and "Pinky and the Brain", that purported grownups can enjoy even more than the kiddos. I'd put early Aughts "Invader Zim" in that category too.

37 Trump Derangement Syndrome.

It's long since moved into twilight zone territory. They simply cannot acknowledge that he might be correct on any issue whatsoever. The word came down long ago that he is not to be considered human in any way (nor his supporters, by the way... ponder that) So they have to reflexively take an opposite take on anything. Any Thing.

43 Trump gave a great presentation to Kim about developing the NK beaches into resorts. NK leaders want a hereditary Communist tyrant to rule over that burnt out anthill that can't feed itself.

Meanwhile the best NK Army troops are seeing how Russia is more advanced, with food and readily available porn. Methinks this will be trouble down the line.

Looks like SpaceX is having some trouble towing that Starship. They were planning to tow it to the port in Dampier, Australia, but they are now headed to Christmas Island with it, looks like. What they'll do with it there, who knows. They don't have any big port facilities there to handle something like that.
