Who knew?

Wikiwandering, I came on a piece about Pete the Pup who was originally a Staffordshire Bull terrier. The ring around his eye was almost perfect, and was completed by hollywood makeup artist Max Factor. Yes, that Max Factor. Later Pete was replaced by a pit bull- you’ll notice the dogs circled eye moves from left to right in episodes- and was eventually snagged by Target to be their mascot.

Weird, some of these connections.

Everyone understands

that you have to make hay while the sun shines. We are busier than ever at work because we are doing more and providing more services to keep our customer base happy and coming back.

This means- for many people- doing more than ever for less, with less. We are no different, and in order to keep everyone gainfully employed we have become accustomed to going the extra mile.

Tends to wear on you, though, after a while. I could use a vacation.

First day of spring.

And the internet is becalmed lke the sargasso, a lot of shit swirling around on the outside but not much going on. The machinations of the left and right are all old news and nobody sane is surprised when they pull some fresh horror out of their hats.

Everyone seems hunkered down ready for something but we don’t know what, all of us half hoping it doesn’t happen. The new Pope seems to be a bust, (Though, we’ll see; the office sometimes forms the man more than the man can form the office) the country is in the grasp of lunatics, and it’s snowing outside.

The Bear in me wants to sleep in. Until may.
