Super Mo'i!

This past weekend, Debbie and Mo’i were competing in agility trials held in Salt Lake City, Utah. The weather was very cool — just how Mo’i likes it — and he ran with unusual speed and energy. A photographer captured Mo’i just as he was charging out of the collapsible tunnel obstacle. Look at that face! Mo’i was having a grand old time out there!

Miki was also in Salt Lake City, but he was competing in conformation. Both Mo’i and Miki did well — Mo’i had two qualifying runs (both on the jumpers course), and was well under the course time on one of them. Miki got second place in one of his shows, but unfortunately there weren’t enough field spaniels competing for this to count.

Everybody is back home now, safe and sound…

Senate Boxing

Scott Adams (creator of the Dilbert comic) has a blog that is on my daily read list for several reasons, including the wicked sense of humor you’d expect from the guy who gave us Dilbert, Dogbert, Alice, and the pointy-haired boss. For example, today he posted about his ideal form of government, and the closest example on earth: Taiwan’s raucous democracy. Scott likes the fights in the legislature, and imagines the equivalent in the U.S.:

Pause to consider how much you would pay to see Nancy Pelosi kick Dick Cheney in the nuts on national television. I’ll bet it’s a big number. Imagine that after she delivers the kick, Trent Lott flings a wing tipped shoe at the back of her head and knocks her off the dais. Now how much would you pay? Personally, I’m in triple digits already and the imaginary brawl has barely started. Can it get any better?

Oh, yes it can — go read the whole thing!

And yes, Scott, I would most definitely buy a season ticket every year!
