Trooper/Milton Pup Update

"Trooper is currently staying with a wonderful foster family
who has experience with his breed.

Trooper is continuing to decompress and
'enjoy all the good things in life'.

'His foster parents will learn more about him
and have his best interests at heart',
the Humane Society said."

Brilliant. Glad he's with a family who knows bull terriers.

Excuse me, but what the heck is going on? People believe the insane lies told them, but refuse to believe the LIARS are the dangerous ones. jmo

"National Guard troops had come across two trucks of 'armed militia saying they were out hunting FEMA.'"

Armed Militia "hunting FEMA" causes hurricane responders to evacuate

Federal emergency workers were told to evacuate Rutherford County, North Carolina, on October 12 over safety concerns.

That is exactly what goes thru my mind too. It is in so many areas of life, politics, religions, the regular news being clipped to make it sensational. Shoot, I worked in payroll for 20+ years and the misinformation was unbelievable. I'd look at people and think, you didn't pay attention in math class did you? That is not how your pay is calculated. Bless your heart.

94L will hopefully fizzle and 95L will apparently stay south of the US.

The National Hurricane Center is watching two systems for tropical development. Heavy rain and gusty winds are expected across the Caribbean region. Here’s the forecast.

Even before the storm, Cuba has been almost completely in the dark since Friday following four major grid failures.

The storm was expected to take a turn to the west and northwest Monday and head toward the Bahamas.

I get a really SWFL vibe, like down near Marco Island, the Everglades area on this tropical storm.

National Hurricane Center keeping eye on 2 tropical waves. Can Florida expect any threats?

AccuWeather: "We suspect there will be another attempt for a tropical depression or tropical storm to brew in the western Caribbean" next week.

Hello!
Look who visited us!
Our favourite Pooch Milton aka Trooper

Good news

Trooper has a new beginning with a foster home,
committed to helping him recover with an open yard to play and cuddles all day.

And Trooper's fans have helped cause a new wave of donations to the Leon County Humane Society, which initially took him in.

Who is the good boy?
Super Trooper!!!

GFS Model

Not good at all for Haiti in this GFS run. This is a powerful Category 3 - Category 4 heading straight towards them.
