21 So, driving into work this evening, I saw a #PROTEST on a bridge crossing I395. Rush hour traffic is slow, so I noticed this. It was three people behind a sign that exclaimed, 'NO KING', and it was flanked by the flags of Canada and the Ukraine. I was driving so I didn't stare to long but I've been pondering it ever since. Were they decrying #ORANGEHITLER? This was inside the Beltway in NoVA, so good bet. Yet, it could be criticism of Ukraine's and Canadas Prime Ministers. Unlikely since, as mentioned, this is NoVA. They LOVE Canada and the Ukraine.

I wouldn't go along with the unreservedly part. Dogs will do similar things and willingly give their lives to protect their people.

But I agree that growing up around both of them they along with a few other animals have unique bonds with humans. Some anyway.

vmom, don't even get me started. I don't know if you read my long article on my psychotic best friend, but it's clear we need to do something with/for the mentally ill other than let them fend for themselves. People with slow-killing physical diseases can make a decision not to prolong their lives and skip treatment, but the mentally ill don't know they're sick. And their sickness can endanger them or leave them destitute.

But intervention is rife with abuse.

If you really want to learn about it, read a book called The Best Minds by Jonathan Rosen. He tells the story of his childhood friend who had a schizophrenic break as a young man, along with an exhaustive review of the history of our mental health institutions. They've been successful and merciful in some iterations.

103 91 I also like the story of the horse Adopted by Marines in Korea they named Sgt Reckless.

I’m surprised they haven’t made a movie. It’s a great story.

I have that book. Recall, the Navy Department was going to leave Sgt. Reckless in Korea but her (yes, her) Marines wanted her in America. And that's where she landed up.

New executive order has dropped: Rescission of Useless Water Pressure Standards

"Water conservation requirements for faucets, showers, bathtubs, and toilets — promulgated by the Department of Energy pursuant to the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-486) — make bathroom appliances more expensive and less functional. “Efficiency” standards render other American appliances like clothes washers and dishwashers less useful, more breakable, and more expensive to repair. The Federal Government should not impose or enforce regulations that make taxpayers’ lives worse."
