Here are some highlights from her first several days, starting with her Freedom Ride home from the SPCA.
Penny left us 37 weeks ago, and I miss her every day. She was my first pup, the one that made me a dog owner. Thank you, Penny. I’ll always remember you and celebrate you.
Happy Penny Day.

For a while I celebrated the wrong date, thinking I’d brought Penny home September 1st, but that was just the date the first photos went online.
My sweet, stubborn, patient, bratty, and goofy little girl came home twelve years ago today.

My parents (mostly my mom) always used to ask in advance if there was anything in particular I’d like for a birthday (or other occasion) present. I’d usually come up with a few suggestions, often things I’d been thinking I’d enjoy but wouldn’t bother getting for myself.

Yeow! 90 years ago today, the Daily News reported on massive flooding across Central New York, with dozens dead and crews scrambling to shore up Van Atta's Dam (more commonly Van Natta's, aka First Dam) before it could burst and further flood Ithaca.

Has anyone played with these Sense electricity monitors (or equivalents) that claim to track how much energy each of your appliances, or categories of devices, at least, is using?

Imagine if all of us who do business with Facebook and Instagram told our account reps that we were going to stop if they didn’t do something about the constant torrent of scammers?
Most of us roll our eyes at these, report, delete, and move on, but enough people get suckered that they keep coming.
