And, now, back to the subject of “us” and “them”. I don’t have cable, so I didn’t see the original broadcast of this, but a few days ago Boing Boing linked to video of a FOX News report, in which the newscaster refers to non-Arabs as “regular” people. Obviously, if you’re Arab, there must be something irregular about you. The mind wobbles!

Fog and Dogs
I took these about a month ago, when we were having a spate of drizzly, misty weather. After it cleared up, we had nearly a month without useful precipitation. Hurricane Dennis came to Indiana this week, breaking the dry spell. It’s been a lovely, soaking rain over several days–exactly what we needed. It’s not been as picturesque as the pictures below, though, so I’m using them instead.
Elliott is our dog-in-fog model. The grass was too wet for Princess Harriet to put her delicate little feetses in.
And, because I can, here’s the obligatory dogblogging. Have I mentioned that Harriet is not (not!) a fan of air conditioning? Well, if I didn’t, she’s not a fan of AC. When it cools down in the living room, she scrunches up into a little ball and moans and groans and sighs until I take pity on her sad little self and cover her up with a binkey. If I’m a meanypants and ignore her, she goes to the bedroom, where there’s no AC, and roots around on the bed until she’s got the bedding wadded to perfection. I use it as an excuse not to make my bed in the mornings, because she’s only going to mess it up. I just pull the covers up and wait until bedtime to make the bed. A) I’m lazy and B) I choose my battles.
It’s a good thing she’s cute.
