Speaking of NPR and PBS, they are asking for your help to save public radio and TV. They make it very easy to call your Senators. Come on, do it for Mr. Rogers.
Public media faces its most urgent threat yet.
The Administration has sent Congress a rescissions package to eliminate $1.1 billion in already-approved funding. If enacted, it would rip essential services out of communities and force rural stations off-air. The House is expected to vote within days. Call your lawmakers now to save public media.

I can’t really talk about my week, my weekend seemed to be all consuming and has blocked my memory of much. I do remember my dog Silmiin getting skunked. He came running in the house and started rubbing his face on everything he could find, even the floor. He had skunk jiz all over his head, in his eyes, and mouth.
I threw him in the tub for a bath, but he still smelled a bit bad, poor guy. Then I had to clean the floors and anything else he touched.
Also, the neighbor dog came over to play. He usually comes over for 4 hours max, but his owners went to ComiCon and didn’t pick him up till 8 hours later.
This is the neighbor dog who was my good buddy as a pup, but something happened when he hit 3 and he started biting me. At the doorway, peacefully standing and when I opened the door he would turn and bit me on the butt going out.
I have no clue why. Once I was in the hallway and the door was a bit open and he was going out but ran back to the hallway and bit me in the butt and then went out the door.
I don’t let him in my house anymore but do let him come visit my dogs in the yard. He hasn’t been in for a year, so dumb me, I let him in yesterday and he bit me in the thumb. Damn! if you could stitch a dog bite, I would get my thumb stitched.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whose mistaken deportation to El Salvador became a political flashpoint in the Trump administration’s stepped-up immigration enforcement, was returned to the United States on Friday to face federal charges in Tennessee. The Trump administration is accusing Abrego Garcia of being part of a large human smuggling operation. The case also prompted the resignation of a top federal prosecutor in Nashville, according to The Associated Press.
