GOTV dog costume parade

Get out the vote. Dog. Costume. Parade.

It's a language that allows unlimited adjacent nouns, apparently.

All dogs tolerated the costumes for the duration. Some dogs were friendlier than others. My dog had best eyebrows (as usual). Many photos were taken (not by me).


This post's theme word is festucine (adj), "of a pale yellow or straw-like color." The festucine retriever was named Layla?

Fall break (day 4)

Diverting waste often involves sorting it at the point of disposal. I've seen 5 genres of numbered of plastic, the Japanese burnable/non burnable unrecyclables, and of course there is the waste/recyclable/composting trifecta. But specific situations call for specific solutions. I had never seen a pizza-box specific waste receptacle before.

pizza boxes, recycling, waste

... but now I have. I can only guess that this on-campus location is particularly susceptible to pizza consumption.

Grading, calling the insurance company, dog agility class, dog bath + blowdry. Drafted some work documents. Bemoaned the state of emails and my laggard queue for friendly snail mail.

End of day email tally: personal 65, work 68.


This post's theme word is agnoiology (n), "the study of ignorance or the investigation of the unknowable." Improving my pedagogy is an exercise in agnoiology.

Fluffy puppy on a textured lawn

 Every part of this photo seems to invite fingers to run across it.

Ika on Parrish Beach.

This post's theme word is talpa (n), either "a mole (the animal)" or "a cyst". The dog is sniffing for talpa in the lawn.
