A judge dismissed a lawsuit from a civilian engineer after it was determined that her report of being raped in her bed aboard a Navy transport ship was within her duties and must be treated as a worker's comp claim. (from @Rose_Lori) https://t.co/wYiyEQj1ga
An apt day to remember that Dolly Parton once recorded a cover of Stairway to Heaven - and, in defiance of every moral law in the universe, she absolutely owned it.
This happened two nights ago at Haven Rescue. The young dog is Chance a two-year-old Pit Bull who was seized from a fighting operation last week. He was used as a "bait dog" the dog fighters use to train aggressive dogs. Covered in
fresh wounds. Absolutely traumatized.
Won't eat. Won't move. Just shakes against the kennel wall. The older dog is Moses-a twelve-year-old Saint Bernard who's been at Safe Haven for four years.
Staff put them together because the facility was overcrowded. Security footage from 11:47 PM shows Moses waking up, looking at Chance shaking against the wall, and slowly getting to his feet. Moses is massive-over 180 pounds-but he approached so gently. Laid down right beside Chance. Draped his huge head across Chance's shoulders. By morning, Chance had stopped shaking. Was pressed against Moses's side. Actually sleeping. Shelter director told us: "Moses has comforted seventeen scared, abused dogs in four years. He's never been adopted because he's too old, too big, too expensive to care for. But he's saved seventeen broken souls by just lying beside them and showing them what safety feels like." Sometimes the ones nobody wants carry the greatest capacity to heal the ones nobody could save.
My wife and I got into it last night about the grocery bill.
I pulled up an old Target order from February 2020.
28 items. $64.50.
Added every single one back to the cart just to see.
$158.30.
Same 28 items. Same store. Same cart.
$93.80 more.
In five years.
We didnât buy more.
Didnât upgrade anything.
Didnât add a single extra item.
Just needed the same things we always needed.
They told us inflation was transitory. They told us it was under control. They told us the economy was strong.
Our cart didnât get any of those memos.
145% increase in five years.
Not one member of Congress has looked at a grocery receipt in decades.
And it shows.
