Good morning! Hope you are having a relaxing weekend,

However, today in 1932 Hattie Caraway became the first woman elected to the United States Senate. In 1962 in Vietnam War: Operation Chopper, the first American combat mission in the war, took place. In 1969 the New York Jets of the American Football League defeated the Baltimore Colts of the National Football League to win Super Bowl III in what is considered to be one of the greatest upsets in sports history.

More flocks of birds
Fantastic murmuration of starlings tonight, 10 minutes from home. Absolutely spectacular, particularly when the entire flock flew right over our heads. Might need an umbrella next time (not for the rain) #murmuration #nature #birds @BirdWatchIE pic.twitter.com/Vccuhdecej

Tapas. Lots of cheese and processed meat. Really bad, would offset all the beneficial health effects of the cocaine. pic.twitter.com/zHmpdCF8uk

Isn’t ‘tapas’ (plural of tapa, which means lid) not more a description of how food is served, rather than what it consists of; it is simply a very small portion. Now, admittedly, there are many traditional dishes that have come to be seen as descriptive of tapas, but many are very healthy and all are small.
I think many of the dishes served at my favorite tapas place are reasonably healthy. It is not all charcuterie.
Well, she could always avoid refined cocaine and chew coca leaves… that would add to the daily fibre tally 😀
I thought the rools specified that d*gs were not to outnumber cats.
I think Grania is given Special Dispensation in this manner. It is for the greater good.
Like His Holiness the pope, Jerry the First, pontifex maximus of WEIT, has the power to grant dispensation from canon law for “just and reasonable cause.”
Dog-inus vobiscum! 🙂

But you must admit that the puppy bathing video makes one want a d*g.
What’s Beto up to? I’d rather not watch. Now, if it was an appendectomy, or vasectomy, then sure.
