Veterinarians suspected these horses had a rare disease, but they actually just made the rookie mistake of eating more w**d than they could handle.

The Rainbow Bridge

Extremely rare atmospheric phenomenon called rainbow bridge or circumhorizontal arc: when the sun is at least 58º above horizon and ice crystals in clouds form rainbows. 😍

Hubby attempted to shock & awe me by presenting this segment of John Oliver show about Turkmenistan president and his love for Akhal-Teke horses. Apparently the guy loves the breed and owns like, a 10% of their world population. He breeds them and rides them and writes books and poetry about them and raises golden statues of himself riding an Akhal-Teke.
Unfortunately, it all fell on deaf ears. I was not shocked or awed. The guy runs a totalitarian dictatorship. Alright, we have many of those. And he is a weirdo, but we have many of those, too. BUT he is doing a wonderful job promoting a breed that might have disappeared altogether otherwise. And many a horse person would do the same had they have the means.
The part about horses starts at 6 min 20 seconds and then resumes at 20 min 40 seconds and is really, really something.
Enjoy.

John Oliver takes a look at the president of Turkmenistan, a dangerous autocrat with some notably strange obsessions. Connect with Last Week Tonight online.....

I love everything about it

There's a lot of horsing around on this lonely stretch of Australian highway.

We will be flying. I need to take my cats in the cabin with me. So we bought carriers and started practicing.
I am stumped and perplexed. Apparently, my cats will do just about ANYTHING for the right treat. The treat gets thrown into a carrier, cat enthusiastically gets in, carrier is zipped up while the cat is munching, and that's that. No hissy fit, no nothing. Just a little concerned when carried around outside, because they never were in front of the house. Huh ... But then, I can teach a 1,200lbs horse to give me his feet and behave in exchange for treats. I just expected the cats to be more ... difficult. This could not have possibly been any more anti-climactic.

That's all folks. :( I just handed over my last horse, little Stormy, to a colleague.
We are moving to Canada on June 18th, 2019. We bought a house in Mississauga. It's a perplexing little house, called "back split 4". It means that it has "half-floors", 6 steps up or 6 steps down, and has 4 levels - ground floor, 2 levels "down" and 1 level up, with "butterfly roof" - apparently, these were all the rage in the 70ties. The weirdest thing ever. Painted inside like The Simpsons house and I love everything about it. And it has this thing called "central vac". Basically there is a big, bad vacuum cleaner in the basement connected to all these tubes in the walls - there is an outlet or two in each room, you carry around the house a hose with vacuum brush, plug it in and voila! vacuum the room, then unplug it and go to the next one. All the debris end up in a big bucket in the basement. And that central vac REALLY, REALLY SUCKS 🤣
