It's Not the Size of the Dog in the Fight...

it's the size of the fight in the dog. Or, in this case, 3 Chihuahuas, who should be named Bravest Dogs of the Year. There's a lesson here for small countries, I think.

Pound for pound chihuahuas are the toughest dogs around. One the size of a doberman would be seriously scary. My own little half chihuahua dachshund mix chased a bear away from her food in Yellowstone. When dad finally dared peek out the tent to see what all the barking was about he could see a large bear lumbering down the road with the dog nipping at its heels. Every once in a while it would try to take a swipe at her but would soon give up and continue on its way. She has also faced down and drove off our yard several dogs, German Shepherds and such were several times her size that dared to invade our yard. I'm not surprised that three of them would face down a mountain lion.

Bad Knee Leads to Bad Back...

..Bad, bad, back!  I'm out today from work (hate to do that, but I really am in bad shape).  Can't get into the doctor's until Monday, so, need to call off for that day, too.  AND make up some lessons that the kids can do without me.  It's more work than going to work, so, usually, I just suck it up. Not today, though.  I'm a big baby about severe pain. Since I didn't take work home with me, and I really don't like TV, I'll plan on catching up with my web reading and blogging. Then, later, after lunch, maybe a little Roku.

Winter Break? Bah, Humbug!

I work in a public school.  As a result, I've occasionally been corrected - very gently, I must say - when I refer to the 2 week vacation at the end of the year as "Christmas Break". Oh, no, I am informed, it's a GENERIC holiday celebration (I generally refrain from pointing out that HOLIDAY is a variant of the original HOLY DAY).  Just happens that SO many important holidays occur around this time that it's convenient to adjourn for vacation. I always respond by saying, "I'll call it Winter Break the very first year that it DOESN'T include Christmas". Christmas is the ONLY reason for the break - it comes at a bad time, just before the end of the semester.  It would make FAR more sense to delay the vacation for another week, give the tests, then adjourn for a between-semesters vacation. Won't happen.  Parents (most of them taxpayers and/or voters) would have the school boards roasted - like chestnuts - for daring to implement the sensible swi...
