A Day In The Life Of A Dog

 It is time once more for the perspective of the dog and the cat. As always, I begin with the dog's point of view, seeing as how he gets so easily distracted.

7:01 AM. Waking up. Big stretch. Slept well. Dreamed of chasing squirrels.

7:03 AM. Checking outside to see how things are. And speaking of squirrels, there's one on our lawn. I bark loudly. It runs away. 

I'll get you later....

7:10 AM. Waiting on the human to get downstairs and see to my breakfast. After all, it's one of those things I can't do on my own.

7:20 AM. The human comes downstairs. I thump my tail furiously against the floor in greetings. Good morning, human! She asks what I was barking about.

Well, see, there was this squirrel, and you and I both know they're devious and evil and just up to something...

7:22 AM. Watching patiently as the human pours me a big bowl of kibble.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy....

7:23 AM. Have polished off my breakfast just six seconds short of my all time fastest breakfast. That was good!

7:27 AM. Making inquiries with the human as to if she'll let me out for a run. That damned squirrel might still be in the area, after all.

7:28 AM. Out the door and on my way. See you later, human!

7:30 AM. Doing a thorough inspection of the perimeter near the house. After all, he could be watching me right now....

7:40 AM. Running through the back fields, barking my head off, as happy as I can be.

7:58 AM. Stopping by to see Spike the Magnificent, Tormentor of Squirrels. Hey, Spike!

7:59 AM. After Spike and I have finished greeting each other in customary doggie fashion, we get to discussing matters of the greatest importance. When spring will really and fully kick in. What the squirrels are up to. Whether or not they have formed an alliance with the mailman.

8:03 AM. Spike reminds me that this Easter thing is coming up. Great. I really hope my human doesn't have any family coming over. I don't much care for kids, Spike, not when they think I'm a horse.

8:12 AM. Spike and I go our separate ways. He promises to let me know when the mailman shows up.

8:21 AM. Making my way through the woods, sniffing at things.

8:24 AM. Opportunity has smiled on me and I am now in pursuit of that damned squirrel.

So close, I've almost got him...

8:25 AM. The squirrel is up a tree, chattering away at me and quite pleased with himself. One more meter, squirrel, and you would be history right now. You got lucky today. Luck. That's all it is. And one day, your luck is going to run out.

8:37 Spending some time splashing about in the cold creek. 

9:03 AM. After barking to alert the human to my return, she has opened the door, but intercepted me with the Towel of Torment. Oh, come on, human, there is no such thing as wet dog smell.

10:45 AM. The human is having coffee. I mooch an oatmeal cookie off her. 

12:31 PM. Lunch with the human. She's been kind enough to give me a ham and cheese sandwich.

1:29 PM. Barking at the mailman as he stops at the mailbox to drop some things off.

Dinner with the human. She's made lasagna, and has cut up some for me as well. Nice bite sized pieces. No repeats of the spaghetti incident.

11:35 PM. The human is off to bed. Good night, human, and sleep well. I'll be down here guarding the house.

In between naps.

The Crypto Hacker Guaranteed Scam

They never give up. They never take a hint and go away. The very idea of going and finding a productive and legal way to make a living would never occur to them. Instead they spend their time sending spam and scam emails to random people, and infesting our blogs with comments that have nothing to do with the subject at hand, and only serve to draw the gullible into their trap. I speak, of course, of homo sapiens spammeritis annoyingus, otherwise known as the internet scammers and spammers. Behold what came through recently and got caught by the spam filters here.

My sincere gratitude to Morphohack Cyber Service for helping me recover my crypto assets from the FTX exchange where my deposits of $687,000 worth of coins have been held for more than two months without release.
I thought my assets were gone forever as all means to withdraw from the FTX trading exchange were unsuccessful, but I was told about the services of Morphohack Cyber Services who was able to help me recover my crypto assets after I provided my wallet address and evidence of the transactions. FTX exchange has locked my account for months with no response but thanks to the services of Morphohack Cyber Service, I was able to recover my crypto assets. It’s important to do your due diligence before investing in any platform.

I was swapping in between my stablecoins when I lost $389,000. I was confused and didn’t know how that could happen, I just lost all my crypto and I’m traumatized.
A few days later, a tech guy from my firm contacted a crypto recovery expert Morphohack Cyber Service, who was able to detect that a malicious bot called MEV(Maximum Extractable Value) detected my transaction and front ran it before my transaction was processed. The bot's actions made me lose almost 99% of my funds and stole $389,000. Fortunately for me, Morphohack Cyber Service was able to trace this transaction and retrieve it successfully without any delay while applying its sophisticated software and malware techniques. It seems we have to be up to date with market news and stay alert always.

Sigh. Two variations on the same thing- morphohack. Yeah, that fills me with confidence, because if I actually return these emails, it will end with me getting hacked. We're supposed to believe that these nitwits have invested hundreds of thousands into crypto, that it disappeared, and that this miracle hacker came along and saved the day by getting their money back.

Yeah, right.

First, I have absolutely no confidence in bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. Never have, never will. But when one posts about spammers and scammers, one is bound to draw comments from them in the very posts we follow up on. So I'm sure that this will draw spam comments. 

Second, I'm not going to trust these random spam comments. They're form letters, both of which have a lot in common with each other. And scammers tend to use the same form letter format- which we see in everything from this to the spell caster to the Cancer Widow to the Beloved Former Tyrant.

Again: No. I don't believe anything these nitwits have to say. All they're good for is as a subject of ridicule. And so to "Curtis Denton" and "Jason Gilreath", the two fake names of whoever the hell sent these, I say this. If you can't find some honest way to make a living, if you can't help yourself but to be a useless scammer, there's only one end for you.

Spring Rises, Or The Revenge Of Winter

Spring is upon us (boo, hiss!). For those of us mourning winter, well, there's always more snow coming this time of year anyway. I have an image blog for the occasion.
