CNN is reporting that Spot, the President’s dog, has died at age 15. Spot was the daughter of Millie, a dog owned by the president’s father President George Bush. She was born at the White House in 1989, when the elder Bushes lived there. Spot was a spaniel and pretty cool. The Bushes have another dog, Barney, a Scottish terrier. Terriers are a bit of an acquired taste I gather. ]]>

The BBC is reporting that a woman was saved by a cow down in New Zealand. A massive flood is ransacking much of NZ and this woman was caught up in the current. Luckily, one of her cows, Number 539, was floating past. She grabbed hold and the might beast pulled her to safety. Go figure. ]]>

Each rock weighs between 4 and 30 lbs, so let’s say. Let’s say 8.
So I now have 5,000 rocks in my front yard.
I can take 30 per wheelbarrow load
which means I have 170 odd wheelbarrow loads
I’ve done about 20.
I’m already tired. This sucks.]]>
