Took Finn to the groomer again. I like for him to look like people love him.

Last time, they just had to shave it all off. There wasn't much choice, and so they didn't ask what I wanted. I get that. This time they did ask. "Do you want him to look like a poodle?" "Isn't he already a poodle?"

Yes, but now he looks more like a poodle. I didn't think it was possible.

I've been amusing myself and occasionally annoying everybody else by crooning "You are so poodle-ful to meeeeeee" at him ever since.

The looming threat of extreme space weather has FEMA preparing for the perfect solar storm, and an unimaginable power grid disaster, FOIA documents reveal.

The three big USA disasters that were predicted for my lifetime are: (1.) a terrorist attack on the World Trade Center (2.) a major storm leading to the catastrophic floods in New Orleans and (3.) an earthquake greater than 7.5 on the southern San Andreas Fault.

So far, we're two for three. I live in Southern California. We're long, long, long overdue for that quake. So I'm already preparing for an unimaginable power failure, water shortages, sewage outage, plus geographic isolation because the roads will be destroyed.

Next on my list: a solar oven and a solar cell phone charger.

It sounds like I need to get a generator, too.

Yay, cutesie poodleness - I've just returned from two weeks of taking care of the princess Coco, spoiled beyond belief as befits Her Adorableness. Sounds like Finn is embracing his princehood - it's the haircut that does it, somehow.
