In the news and other stuff

I didn't know that hooliganism was even a real word! In Russia, an all girl punk band that calls themselves Pussy Riot, was just convicted and sentenced to 2 years in prison, for "hooliganism." They were protesting Putin's election, inside a church. I guess this is news because some American entertainers are trying to raise awareness of their plight and lack of freedom to protest. Ummm, if you are a Russian who lives in Russia, you know what your freedoms are and aren't. And just in general, if you're going to protest something, and you feel passionate about it, you're most likely prepared to go to jail, aren't you? Duh.

The next thing in the news I want to vent about is the story about the German Shepard that was found in the mountains of Colorado. She was injured and abandoned by her owner on August 5th. She was found by a couple of hikers on August 11th and then rescued by a group of people they got together, on August 13th. What an ordeal for that poor dog. Now, the owner wants her back. I want to punch him in the face and swear at him. No! you don't get your dog back, asshole. Grrrrrr.

Now for the 'other stuff' Mom and Bill and I went to the State Fair yesterday. It was a nice day to go until the weather got ugly;

But it didn't turn out as bad as it looked and we saw everything we wanted to.

This Sunday is the Moto GP race. I could care less truthfully, but it's one of my husbands favorite things so it's fun because of that. This year will be especially nice because the high temp for the day is only 76!!! AWESOME!

Then Monday, poor Pepper gets her teeth pulled :-( Poor little thing. Bill is taking Tuesday off to stay home with her.
