My neighborhood high school has a therapy dog on staff. (I believe she belongs to one of the counselors, but still… she’s at school every day.

My dad did this (but in tiny notebooks) and also kept detailed daily weather logs his entire life. Does your dad keep the cardboard in a specific place/order as well?

The US is now a lawless rogue state with nuclear weapons. Ruled by a collective of lunatic Christian/Zionist religious fanatics, equally crazy billionaires, and just plain thieves.
