Saturday Afternoon

This is why I love reading the NY Post on occasion: Former NY Knicks player says he was abducted by aliens two weeks ago.

“Now I’m sharper and s--t,” he says of the abduction’s aftermath. “I am retaining information.”

And perhaps a pertinent part of the story?

Also, he has been taking Percocet to offset his pain from surgery to repair the patellar tendon in his right knee, the injury that sidelined him in May 2012.

:D

There's also a Heartwarming Story™ of an FDNY worker rescuing a dog from a window ledge. With film! *g*

Aww, that's so sweet about the dog rescue. And what a good dog for being so good about being grabbed by a stranger.

What is it with aliens abducting just Americans? Why don't we ever hear about them abducting Ethiopians or Mongolians or Bolivians?
That was a sweet story about the dog.
I just got back from a hike in Yoho National Park, it was gorgeous. You can see where the recent flooding has changed the landscape in places.

Heh to the drugged-up alien experience. Apparently when people take Ayahuasca they tend to experience lizard people who claim to be from other planets, so...

The dog thing made me smile. The firefighter did an excellent job (though I was saying "Snare pole, where's the snare pole?" (Every police and fire department here has at least one snare pole - ample wildlife, ample reason to use it.) I'm also impressed with how gentle and accepting that Chow Chow was. As a breed they tend to be less tolerant, and I very much thought the man was at risk for being bitten. Happy ending, though! :)
