That was the subject line for the picture Kaitlin sent me yesterday:

Tempi writes about the trip here.

This is a picture of her when she came from the shelter in 2016, almost nine years ago.

Way to go, Tempi!

Who is smarter, the pups or the kitties?

I’m afraid the pups win on the second challenge, but they are probably used to challenges like this and they seem to be a lot more food-motivated.

I had heard of durian before, so I was surprised by the baby’s reaction.

Not everyone is as tolerant of the smell.

I’ve seen it on some of my cooking streaming videos, but never in our local market. Even if they had it I wouldn’t buy it. What about you?

Andy and I have used AOL for years, and I was surprised a few years ago when a friend laughed because I was so old-fashioned to still be using it.

So, does anyone still use AOL? The answer is yes, but the numbers are significantly lower than they were in the 1990s. According to a report by the Pew Research Center, in 2020, only 1% of American adults used AOL as their primary ISP.

However, AOL still maintains a loyal user base, particularly among older adults who are familiar with the service and prefer its simplicity. In fact, a survey by the AARP found that 1 in 5 adults aged 50 and older still use AOL as their primary email service.
—Does Anyone Still Use AOL?

Both Andy and I also have gmail accounts, but AOL is the one I use the most. Which mail service do you use?

This poor pup is supposed to wait on the couch when visitors come. She has a hard time doing that. Click on the picture to see the video, and turn on the sound (lower right-hand corner).
