dodging raindrops and jumping puddles

The severe weather we were forecasted to get this evening went south of us instead. That doesn’t mean we didn’t have rain off and on today.

Rain creates a big mess when you have big dogs.

Merida hates water, so her trips are fast, furious, and infrequent. Dharma, on the other hand, goes out, shakes the bushes so water will fall on her back, and lies down on the deck to ensure she’s got plenty of debris to bring inside with her.

Now you know: GPS, despite being free for global use, costs around $2 million a day to operate and maintain. This budget covers satellite launches and system upkeep, funded through American tax revenue.
