Apropos of very little, a typical apple weighs one Newton.

Coincidence? I think not. We should be told but those in the know will doubtless claim there is no conspiracy here. OTOH, why do they spend so much time and effort denying conspiracies and denigrating seekers after the truth? What are they trying to hide?

Slugs? Stones? Electron volts?

Slugs and stones may break my bones, but eVs will never shock me.

Dog3 visited the animal doctor this last weekend and received a clean bill of health and a bunch of vaccinations.

He has learned to catch a bounced tennis ball in the air. And he brings it back a few times, too!

He seems a lot bigger than he looks in the early pictures.

It wasn't until a few months ago that we really started to bond with him. The sadness from losing Dog1 probably made it difficult for us to get emotionally involved.

I just realized that the numbers above were weights. So he doubled in a year!
