Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I don't really have a question about oatmeal. I was just being ironic.

I do have a question about a case though. Problem is, there's no one to ask beyond me, the buck stops with me unfortunately. Very comforting to the owners, I'm sure, to hear me say, "Honestly, I am not sure what's going on with your dog."

I'm going to have to send him out for a 2nd opinion but I know no one else is going to know either and we will be right back to square one.

I can help. I'm not a Veterinarian or Doctor of any type. But, I slept at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Eff, there are days I wake up before then anyway. Sadly.

I won't lie and say I get out of bed then, though.

I forgot to tell you, I'm also an expert on dog neurology. Send me the case, I'll get it solved for you.

No kidding. It's been predicted for weeks that if the turnout is high and the high turnout is new and young voters, Sanders will win.

Tell her to hold out for a brownie, hot chocolate and a slice of pizza. Evidently you can sell your vote in a caucus for food or so i heard on the Wall Street Journal report.

Oddly, she took brownies to the Caucus.

It is my understanding that it is the Democratic Caucus that the attendees bring food. The Republicans, they bring oatmeal.

Right, it was the Democrats that buy votes with food like brownies and stuff. The Republicans need the oatmeal to keep themselves regular.

Did you notice that "raucous" sounds similar to "caucus?" Too much to be coincidence.
