Officially a Dog

It is official, Zoe turned 1 year old on May 16, 2006. Therefore, she no longer qualifies as a "puppy" and must now be called a "DOG". All of this in spite of the fact that she is much smaller than anticipated (6 lbs). Her father was 10 lbs and her mother 12 lbs. I guess you can never tell what may happen when there is procreation afoot.

We celebrated by giving her a couple of beef sticks. She celebrated by releasing toxic dog fumes and nearly killing us. Now she only gets a beef stick if we're leaving.

The birthday change in her life has not kept her from being curious though (as you can see).

AT LAST! Proof of Global Warming

Scientists just agreed in US congress how to interpret data collected from our earth. After they finally agreed HOW to read the data the determined how much our earth is warming up. They did all of this by voting (I am not making this up). I'm glad we can vote and make our earth warmer or cooler (it is like a road trip through the universe).

My history students often ask me about global warming because they know it will set me off and I gladly go off on how it is a bunch of garbage. Global warming is a way for environmental lobbyist to get money, a way to keep citizens in fear so we can be controlled by our governments, and how do we know it exists in the first place? There are far too few scientist making measurements around our globe and our instruments are not capable of it. Plus much much more.

Yet with all of this ranting and raving, I have managed to find proof of global warming [which makes me look like a buffoon--whimper]

Given the amount of research and data I have collected from this scientific study, I have decided that global warming must exist (or we have a fabric shortage). Given that this is the case, I predict that our globe will be 2.34840193 degrees warmer in 100 years (and we'll all swim "in the raw"). I can predict this because my student workers and I took a vote and decided that it was reality. REALLY, no one knows anyhow so why does it matter?
