Read this blog and then update your Flash

I hope you have all updated flash on your computers.  You know, the thing that lets pretty pictures move around on your screen?  You can check your version here:

Really it's best to just not use it, as vulnerabilities pop up ALL THE TIME, but if I can't use my computer to play videos of dogs on water slides, then what good is it?

And now, some pictures:

What is this?  Why is its tail all pretty and blue and the rest of it is ordinary?

Pluto waiting patiently

 When did my horse become patient, btw?  He didn't bite me, push me over, ignore my existence, skitter dangerously, or break any ties.  I barely recognized him.  He just stood there being all friendly.  And this was for a vet visit!  I'm so lucky he's settled down (mostly.. he still has his wild hare days) just when I really, really can't afford to have a wild man anymore.  Also, he has lost approximately 200 lb since his rebellious years.  I think he was sneaking Twinkies out behind the shed in his other field.  He's under 1000 now and lookin' good.

My vet, btw, looks fantastic.  Turns out she's started doing triathlons.  There's nothing like loving a sport (or three) to help you get in shape.  I'm trying to remember how long I've known her.  Let's say it's sixteen years.  I think she looks healthiest now out of all the time I've known her.  And during that time she's aged sixteen years, gotten married, gotten divorced, raised a kid, and built a good sized business.  That would take the starch out of most people.  But there she is, looking all bouncy and happy and healthy.  I like it.  It suits her.

Somebody was a little confused about whether it was trash or recycling day.  Fortunately our trash guys will check our trash bins for trash whether they're at the curb or not, because they rock that way.  So when I got to the drive this morning I found an empty trash bin, and a recycling bin parked neatly at the curb, waiting for it to be next Wednesday.

If you need to see more pictures, the Internet has more.  Let me get you started:  Totally safe for work cat porn
