They really do! Except when they are shedding over everything, which my dog Annie doing is right now as she sheds her winter coat for the summer months.

Regardless, I was living alone for the first 7 months of the pandemic, so having a companion during the isolation was a life saver. She has a fascinating backstory too, she was rescued from wandering the woods of North Carolina after being shot by a farmer for going after his chickens. Now she lives a much happier life where the only terrorizing she does is the local rodent population (she is an avid ratter).

Climate change is having a significant impact already. It's almost May and the temperature over here is barely over 10 degrees. Way too cold for this period.

I attended a Revolutionary War reenactment this weekend. I got pretty badly sunburned, but the photos I got were pretty great!

Loved the Hessian soldiers! Is that colonel Tarleton on the last pic? What was your role in the reenactment? There are a few battle reenactments in Greece as well, but the majority of the participants is right-wing nutjobs, so I avoid them unfortunately.

I think so! I was just there taking pictures. I don't have the money for those uniforms, which costs about $2,000 to assemble. I had a chat with the unit of Hessians and they are a group of local history teachers/former students, with the unit being founded by the original teacher of all those teachers. It was a really interesting story.

Huh, that function worked much better than anticipated. Great stuff. Need to tweak my intuition to better match mathematical reality, it seems.

Edit:
