My family is being affected by mainstream news about the military shooting things down so thought I’d share my thoughts on the situation as a whole.

We believe Cleo is a pitbull and black lab mix. She’s got a lab-shaped body, webbed toes, loves water, but with pitbull muscles and skull (she’s 65 to 70lbs and not very tall!).
She was rescued from a different state’s kill shelter by a rescue local to myself. My girlfriend at the time and I picked her up as a foster but after 3 days I already loved her so much that I couldn’t contemplate taking her to an adoption event so I adopted her myself. She was 6 months old then, and will be 4 in September.
Cleo is an absolute joy to be around. She is hyper and can get jumpy at first, but once she calms down she just wants to give kisses and receive belly rubs. In fact, that’s how I taught her to play dead! She’d flop over for belly rubs and I’d tell her “bang bang!”.
She has certification for Intermediate and Advanced training courses (we skipped Beginner, she’s smart!). Although she’s getting stubborn in her older age and wanting to train me rather than listen, at the end of the day she’s always a great dog who does what’s right and enjoys her time with her family.
Enjoy sitting by a campfire with me while staying at a buddy's off grid property.

I talk about my current diet, how it came to be, and how delicious and easy that peasant food can be.

Review of the Specialized Stix headlight and taillight. Bought them July 1st, 2016 (with my own money) at Dan's Comp in Evansville. They were running at $55.
I was only looking for spare lights since I already had an Amazon order coming with a new flashlight, and instead of buying a wimpy 10 or 25 lumen flashlight I decided that these were worth trying out.
Overall I'm happy with my purchase and will keep them as spares or use them on my spare bike. If you're looking to commute at night in a town or city these will be perfect for you. If you are riding on more rural roads or offroad you may want to look at flashlights.
