This would make a utterly fascinating bar chart or pie chart or simple graph. Alas, I am incapable of making such a graph using OpenOffice. I used to be a whiz at making such things using Microsoft Excel.
But I use Excel so little, I let the license lapse and went for the freebie. OpenOffice. (Bill Gates is a Prick)
Here is the raw data of the Happiness Quotient for each dog based on the length of time we have been out of the house in minutes.

Refresher: the subjects observed to develop data…
Derby
Sedona
Oliver
Sofi
Note:
Oliver never goes Batshit over anything. He is Mr. Aloof.
Sedona doesn’t run anywhere when we are involved. She saunters. She only runs after Derby when Derby boxes her ears and issues a challenge.
Not being a jock (or a geek) in high school or college, I always love it when the jocks end up looking stupider than a bag of rocks. Nice hands dumbass. Love the ref’s look of pride!
Yeah, it’s not enough to have the idea early, one must follow-up and do the work to make a million bucks off an idea.
I’ve been cracking wise about my first mis-reading of Sarah Palin’s Book Going Rogue as Going Rouge.
Oops, I guess I should have at least bought the domain name.
Because somebody has written (compiled) a book to sabotage poor Sarah.
Going Rouge, a parody of Sarah Palin’s Going Rogue, will be on the shelves soon.
Going Rouge probably is a better read than Going Rogue…
Sarah Palin has many faces: hockey mom, fundamentalist Christian, sex symbol, Republican ideologue, fashion icon, “maverick” populist. But, above all, Palin has become one thing: an American obsession that just won’t go away. Edited by two senior editors at The Nation magazine, this sharp, smart, up-to-the-minute book examines Palin’s quirky origins in Wasilla, Alaska, her spectacular rise to the effective leadership of the Republican Party, and the nightmarish prospect of her continuing to dominate the nation’s political scene.
I love that somebody, somewhere will pick up Going Rouge and think they are getting Going Rogue.
I do have a hash tag on Twitter #ShitSarahPalinSays based on #ShitMyDadSays. I’ve tweeted about a half-dozen items, but only one shows up on Twitter search.
#ShitSarahPalinSays…
she agreed to sit down with Couric partly because she felt sorry for her
she made frugality a point when traveling on state business as Alaska governor, asking “only” for reasonably priced rooms and not “often” going for the “high-end, robe-and-slippers” hotels.
says campaign charged her $50,000 to vet her, which the RNC was supposed to reimburse…when McCain-Palin won.
Her favorite books are “middle school classics” The Pearl and Animal Farm.
Going Rogue / Going Rouge… it’s all #ShitSarahPalinSays
The Early Show’s vet/animal correspondent Debbye Turner Bell gets splashed by a beaver. I don’t see any dams nearby, so I’m guessing this was an “early go” on an Early Show Beaver, by an Early Show beaver.
I’m still rehabilitating my knee. Rather, tiny Mary Anne is trying to do chinups hanging from my calf while I lay on my back.
Imagine: they actually want the knee to bend!
Dur.
It bent before the Total Knee Replacement (ta-da-dummmmmmmm).
As a matter of fact, it bent better and with less pain.
The goal is a ninety degree bend.
Ta-da.
Raise your broken leg and sal-loot, I’m there.
Broken Leg
1.5 parts Jim Beam® Bourbon
4.5 parts hot apple juice/cider
Cinnamon stick
Lemon wedge
In a large mug, combine hot apple juice or cider with Jim Beam®. Stir briskly. Garnish with a lemon wedge and cinnamon stick.
Next up 120 degree bend which I think they refer to as: “about as good as it gets” or “this will send him around the bend for sure.”
Celebratory adult beverage drink ideas are always welcome.
