they're neat to watch.

There's a ravine at the back of my property and I have seen literally thousands of fireflies light it up, and it was amazing

they're neat to watch.

When I was really little we used to catch them in mason jars with holes in the lids and then use them as a nightlight when we stayed at our grandmother's house. Of course we'd wake up in the morning and they'd be gone and she'd tell us they "escaped". Really she let them out after we fell asleep so they wouldn't all die.

Lightning bugs. They don't live in this part of the country but were abundant further south where I grew up.

Fork truck. I've never heard an American (or anybody else until now) call a forklift a fork truck. Of course, there are people who call milkshakes frappes, so who knows what other tics of the English language exist in places like Boston.

Same. Context clues wise I'd get if it was said, but I'd definitely wonder where they're from to call it a fork truck.

Have to ask TGCA... ive got a feeling hes in the midwest somewhere but i forget which state

overhere we call them fork lifts or fork lift trucks

I learned to operate a forklift in college to move grain bins. I was almost competent, but this guy I worked with was a forklift wizard. Watching him whip around piling bin on top of bin with corners perfectly aligned was an education in itself.

It's going to be a scorcher today. 33 C , hot and humid.

My brother is coming over with his dogs. We'll have the kiddie pool set up for the dogs.

I saw a pet pool for sale today. It was collapseable, said so on the box so that must be a good thing. Good Lord, what are we coming to at all at all.

He's got a chihuahua and a dachshund. The dachshund just turned 15 and still runs around like a puppy. The whole time they are here, we chuck the doggy ball for her, and she does not stop chasing after it and bringing it back to us to throw it again the whole time.

The chihuahua just wants to sit on your lap.

If I take a pic with my phone, what is the best way to get it posted here?

That sounds so fun! We had a collapsible pool when we had ducks that they absolutely loved and we got one for our previous dogs. They had so much fun with it. I really need to get another one for Barnaby, but I'm not sure he'd stay out of the A/C long enough to use it

I've done it but not entirely sure how. First effort was unsuccessful, then some arcane mix of chicken entrails and blood of the fatted calf, tried again and whadayaknow it worked. Others can give better instructions if you don't have inside out chickens or fatted calves to hand.

I really like the name Barnaby for a dog!

 

[CatrionaGrace]

A pet pool is a good alternative to a hotdog.

 

[Louanne Learning]

I rarely have a hot dog, but when I do, I really enjoy it.

 

[Rigor Mortis]

Product loyalty requires me to eat only weiners from now on, which is kinda awkward seeing as neither hot dogs nor weiners are native to these parts.

And then there is sausage on a bun with sauerkraut...

Thank you! He's a very goofy boy and the name definitely suits him.
