CBS New York - Exclusive: ‘Digital DNA’ May Soon Be Required To Take SAT And ACT Exams

This is what I have been talking about for years. A "digital identification". Think that isn't bad enough, consider this article which says that the Federal government requires schools to keep tons of information on your children as a permanent record and in most states parents are not even allowed to view the information.

My Dog

My dog scratched his eyelid or it got irritated from something, in either case we kept an eye on it over the weekend. When I woke up this morning I checked it and it had gotten worse so I took him to the vet. They checked his temperature, he didn't like that much and gave him some medicine and then placed him in the cone of shame. I am including a picture.

Anyways, he was given some pills and lotions and steroids. Yes, the little dog you see in the picture is now on steroids. Perhaps he will become a body builder or governor. So, after some additional stops we finally got him home and he detests his dome of shame. He is spending the rest of the day bumping into things and giving me the evil eye. He doesn't understand what is going on.

I haven't had a chance to read the news or really do anything else; but, I will read the news and see if there is anything worth discussing. Peace.

Sorry for not posting

It is Monday and my dog is ill. I am taking my dog to the vet, I don't think it is anything really bad, he hurt his eyelid somehow and just needs some antibiotics and a doggie halo so that he wont rub it, at least that is what I think is needed. The vet wont be open for a couple of hours so I have a moment to write.

My dog, dogs in general, sure love us. I have had cats and had cats I liked; but, there is nothing quite like a dog. I will not become some crazy cat lady; but, I could become the guy that never leaves his dogs side or vice versa. I have had many dogs in my life and loved them; but, I have never had a dog that loved me as much as my current dog, I am the center of his universe. Funny how we can be the center of another animals universe and it only happens with dogs and people.

Anyways, I am sure my dog will be fine after we see the vet and in the meantime I wish you and yours well. Peace.
