I’m trying to get this feature back on track, so if you’d like your mug (and interests) placed before a gazillion readers, by all means send me a photo (maximum two) of you engaged in some interesting or characteristic activity, and don’t forget to include a few lines of explanation. Photos of you with your pets or other animals are welcome.
Today’s reader of note is Michael Hart, a professor of biology who studies evolutionary genetics at Simon Fraser University. His picture is with a d*g, but I won’t hold that against him. Mike’s words:
This is me doing a characteristic thing. Photo was taken at the cabin of a family friend in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina (about halfway between Mount Mitchell and Asheville). Sorry about the dog. We had cats, starting when I was a postdoc at UC Davis, and they followed me (then me and my wife, then me and my wife and my kids) to several cities. When both cats died within a few months of each other at advanced age, we couldn’t bring ourselves to try to replace them with other cats. So we got the dog. She’s a lovely little creature, called Kit like the fox, because of the ears, so she could be considered cat-ish.
Michael is performing a function I am very good at doing – Sleeping

Nice. So many bright and beautiful people on here.
Cute doggy…looks like a corgi.?
Or a corgi mix… Kit’s hair is shorter, and her ears pointier than my Pembroke Hazel’s!
Deerhead chihuahua, similar to the male lead dog in “Beverly Hills Chihuahua”. I am only a little embarrassed to say that I’ve seen that movie.
She was a rescue from southern California. She has these funny chevrons in the fur on her hind quarters, so we also call her the Rialto Ridgeback.
Aha, thanks for the info…Rialto Ridgeback! lol!
Peaceful, beautiful 👏😌
People with pets live longer.
Ah, yes. The siesta is sacred for us retirees.
If a job’s worth doing, it’s worth well?
A Basenji, I suspect….
