I had to kill two rats yesterday, and today I had to kill three chickens.  I didn't like it one bit.  This wasn't in Durango, in case you're wondering . . . it's in Runescape, a game the kids turned me onto when I worked at the school in Maine.  They had me convinced that it was educational, because you have to cook your food, and mine ore and then fashion it into implements you can use.  Now, that I've actually played the game, I see all that is true.  But, what happened with the kids is that they did a whole lot more fighting and killing than cooking and mining!  So, I eventually had to ban the game.  Now I find myself hooked.  I've only done the tutorial, not really played yet, so I don't know yet if I can get away with not killing anyone or anything.  Time will tell.  But, it is definitely a cool game.  I think the first quest I try will be "Cook's Helper."  That doesn't sound like there should be killing involved!  I'll let you know.

Yesterday, Thad brought his dog, Diesel, over.  Diesel is a big lovable hunk of Pit Bull.  He has the most spectacular charcoal gray color.  I love hugging him.  He gets along great with the two little daschunds, but Thad says he's not that kind to bigger dogs.  I guess he starts acting like a pit bull around bigger dogs.  Too bad . . . that's kind of dangerous.  He's not smiling in this picture because he doesn't like having his picture taken.  He's shy.
