I’m switching from Google who can I use that hasn’t been corrupted by the insanity gripping the USA? I can move my storage to Drop Box, but what about Browsers for a Mac? Safari was constantly getting errors.

Not to mention Apple was using Siri to record people.
I don't really use TikTok that much, but I find it fascinating that our government is on the verge of banning an app for national security reasons that are still unclear in the same week that Meta, the largest social media company, says it's now fine to hate LGBTQ people and call us mentally ill.

I taught a Pet Tech First Aid & CPR class yesterday. Acorn helped! The class learned where to find his heartbeat and breathing rate. He also got to role-play a dog choking. He tried to steal ALL the shop's toys for sale! I've talked with him about the dangers of a criminal life.

Did you know that the oldest fossil of a canine in North America was found in Utah?! They give tours, maybe I should go. This is NOT a picture of the fossil, but perhaps it looked like this.
