Flying over the Pyrenees…
If you’re not familiar with the Basque people, they are from the Pyrenees Mountains between France and Spain. The Basque language is unique in that it is related to no other language. Because of the inaccessibility of the Pyrenees and the fierceness of the ancient people who did not intermarry, Basque DNA has been the same since the Iron Age with changes coming about in the 20th Century because of migration to the Americas.
I grew up going to school with both French Basque and Spanish Basque. A truly lovely and proud people who were deeply faithful to their Catholic religion.

Good grief! While this article is ostensibly about some crypto dude who got over $40M in “loans” from SPF-50, when you get into the article, you see that SPF-50 and his posse have spent over $300M themselves on Bahamian real estate. At least Bernie took his time when he was Ponzi-scheming!

Apparently, math’s is hard. Kansas U pondering getting rid of algebra for college matriculation. Y’all better hope they don’t get rid of geometry when you hire that guy to build your house.

I agree with them simply because maths are very hard for me. I passed algebra in HS with a D, then took General Math to finish the course requirements, although I might have made it through Geometry since it is mostly memorization of formulae. In college I had to take philosophy or math, and I chose the one with words.
I still can’t make sense of mixing numbers with alphabet letters and squiggles to solve problems.

Afternoon all. It was 5* when I got up at 9:30. I put Loki’s sweater on her and we went out. We were only out about 5 min when she started walking funny and looked like her feet were hurting. So I got her back in quickly and warmed her little feet up. I guess I will have to put her booties on even to go out for a few minutes when it is this cold. It snowed last night and is supposed to start snowing again today, all day.
I am really looking forward to spending Christmas with my family this year. I have never been able to do that before. I would usually visit between Thanksgiving and Christmas and my DIL would come up with some Christmassy thing to do, like getting a Christmas tree, making cookies, etc. And, I appreciated that. And, this year I will definitely experience a white Christmas.
Hope you all can stay warm and dry this week.

Hello mom! It is so exciting that you will be with your family this Christmas. I will be visiting at my daughter’s home this year, for the first time since my younger grandson was born, 19 years ago! So Tucker and I will be traveling to Chicago some time this week. Enjoy the snow. I can do without it until Christmas Day.
PS: It is getting colder here, and Tucker is cuddling up next to me on the sofa.

He didn’t do well boarding. That time we were staying in a hotel and doing things where dogs wouldn’t be welcome. This time I will be at my daughter’s house, so it’s okay.

There was a place I took Loki to board when I traveled with my friend to the beach. She absolutely loved it. They had room like areas with walls instead of cages and when they went out, each one had a large area to run in and each area was fenced in so they could play with the other dogs but were not in danger of harm. Loki would jump out of the car when we got there if I opened the door and wasn’t watching. Also, she would run into the building. It was very expensive, though.

Tucker had a good time at the boarding place, but he was really sick the day after I brought him home. More than $400 in vet bills. They thought it was some kind of virus, but never figured it out.

Little Gee has never fully lost his traumatic memories of being a feral cat and wouldn’t sit on my lap after ten years of being together.
