AISD offered curbside lunches to children who need them yesterday, and if schools are closed after Spring Break they'll do this M-F starting March 23. The full list of locations and times/details is here.
Also, if anyone has young kids and is trying to figure out how to entertain them during this time of social distancing, someone posting this sample schedule on FB and it's a pretty good jumping off point.

Sunday I witnessed a young punk abandoning a puppy. Just stopped, looked around to make sure nobody was watching, and ran to the middle of a field and dropped off the little guy and then ran back to his car and sped off.
I went over and picked him up. Took him back to the house and set him up on the front porch with some water and a towel. My dogs wanted to murder him. Dachshunds are incredibly territorial and possessive. Like "Fuck that puppy, you're my human, asshole" possessive. I've got no more bandwidth for a 3rd dog.
Went on facebook and asked if anyone would take him in. Of course it got shared about 50 times, eventually a guy I know and trust stepped up and took him. 2 days later and at least a dozen people that I'm not even connected to are asking if hes still available, and would it be too much trouble to drive him to Florida? (From Beaumont). Then of course all the busybodies commenting that I should demand the police check out any surveilance cams to find the abandoner and then have him strenuously prosecuted (lady, go for it. I already have a job.), and that I immediately need to go drop a grand on the dog at the vet to rule out all health problems before I give him to anybody. Or that I need to check out the rescuer to make sure hes not going to use the pup as a "bait dog." (what's that?)
Breed unknown, I suspect he is about 7 weeks old?
I refused to name him (you name him, you own him) but the guy said he was gonna name him "Huevo"
So you did find someone to take him, or are you still looking? I can share with the folks back home if he still needs a forever family.

You serious Clark? Lol. Trump can’t even speak.
Yeah, people who live in covfefe houses really shouldn't throw stones.

The worst thing about Bernie is his supporters, just look at BT. Everything else he says is reasonable, I just wish he didn't sound like he was scolding me the entire time
Right, like he's always yelling. He reminds me of Craig on Parks and Rec. THIS WINE IS FROM SOMEPLACE BEAUTIFUL AND WARM AND AMAZING WHERE EVERYONE IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND THE NIGHT SKY IS FULL OF STARS!

I have nothing against Bernie personally but out of the remaining Democratic candidates I think he's the least likely to beat Trump. I think if he gets the nomination it almost assuredly gives Trump the win. Way too many brainwashed GOPers who lose their minds when he describes himself as a socialist. I mean, I voted for Warren and I will vote for whoever the Democratic candidate is in the national election, but if Bernie gets the nomination I'm getting ready for four more years of Ol' Combover.

He was 1.5 miles away from the tornado core.
From a TV station a half mile from the core path:
I didn't think it was possible to be "inside" a tornado - I thought it was like a vacuum in there. Is that what he actually means, like being in the eye of a hurricane?

Does your loved one have good lungs? Cos that seems to be the main thing. Your lungs are screwed up before coronavirus gets you, then kiss it goodbye.
Yeah, he's 41. Been through some shit in the last few months but other than the (probably) benign brain tumor, he's healthy.

Generally they say wait 24 hours after your fever is gone, but I have no idea if that applies to this virus.

A question. I know people exposed need to be quarantined 14 days, as it can take that long to show symptoms. But how long is a person contagious after they have it? Ie, I get sick tomorrow, and obviously self-quarantine. I am mildly sick for 3 days, then feel pretty good. For the regular flu, I'd probably go back to work. In this case I'd need to stay home until I was no longer contagious. How long is that? How long is a person contagious after infection?
I mean, the rule about being 24 hours fever-free is what I would assume, but again, I don't know if that applies to this particular illness.
A loved one is having brain surgery Thursday (here in Austin) and while I would normally not worry a ton about something like coronavirus at this point, this whole situation has me worried more than usual. I assume his immunity will be compromised for a while.

I’ve been looking for durable dog chews for a few months. Got a deer antler and it started off great. Gave it to her Sunday and it’s just about gone (Thursday). I also gave her a femur bone but it seems she buried it somewhere in the yard. I cannot find it anywhere.
We have a Kong, she just doesn’t love it. Same with nyla bones or whatever the synthetics are.
What else am I missing?
I’ll stick to antlers if I can find them cheaper.My dogs are major chewers. Water buffalo horns are favorites. For plush toys, the only ones that've ever lasted more than a day are Fluff n'Tuff brand. The beach ball is the best one because it doesn't have a head or limbs for them to chew off instantly, but others that have lasted a long time (more than a few weeks) are the caterpillar and hippo. In Austin you can get them at Kriser's on Great Hills, but they also have them on Amazon.

Tank continues to think he can fit in a cat bed.

Rocket's back living that cone-free life, at least till it's time to operate on the next hip. He's recovering really well, considering he had part of his femur removed.

Of course. We're giving up eating out until this runs its course. Sorry, young restaurant startup couples. Gonna be a lot of bank repossessed Mazda CX-30's.
Last weekend at Jason's Deli I saw a kid pick up a salad bar plate, lick it, use tongs to get a bunch of shredded cheese and put that on his plate, glance at his mother next to him to make sure she wasn't looking, then ditch the tongs to stick his hand in the shredded cheese and put more on his plate. So that's how we're all going to get coronavirus.

The Great Pyrenees puppies are almost 6 weeks old. It is going to be a sad day when they leave, but I won't miss cleaning up the endless amount of shit.
The rescue has officially put them up for adoption. I don't think it is going to take long.
Here are some pictures from this weekend.So. Much. Floof.

It's definitely easier to eat without the cone.

hes probably gonna have to wear the cone for a while, you might want to look into a blow up donut cone of shame instead.
Sadie flat out destroyed her cone of shame by purposly ramming the fucker into every wall she could find at full speed. It became so cracked it could have been considered a saw blade, finally had to put her in the donut. That worked.
We tried the donut the last time he needed a cone and it deflated within a couple of hours. Had better luck with the soft cone but I think it will be too short for where his incision is this time. I wish we could get away with something smaller than the regular e-collar, though. Our house isn't big and he whacks it into everything just trying to get around.

Rocket had the first of two femoral head ostectomies yesterday. This one was on the worst side, the one where his hip was basically permanently dislocated because the joint was nonexistent. He's grumpy but less about pain and more because he can't jump on Edgar and keeps wacking into everything with the cone. They'll operate on the other side in a few months once this side is healed up.

I've read both 'Salem's Lot and The Stand. About an hour and some change into the Gunslinger, I tabled it and am relistening to The Stand. Hard to pass judgement without finishing it, but that first hour was hot garbage.
I tried several times to read The Gunslinger and have never been able to get into it. And I'm a well-documented fan of most of King's work, and The Stand is one of my favorite books ever. This one just didn't sit right with me.

Parasite was good. I thought it was a really entertaining and well-shot movie that made some points that had already been made in other movies just as well. The "the elites will never let you actually be part of their circle except as the help" theme was just recently done in a similar and probably more effective way in Get Out as well as the movie where the people turn into horses with huge cocks (forget the name of that one), and the income inequality thing is done all the time. But it was a good entertaining and visually stunning film. And it removes an opportunity for someone from Hollywood to stand on stage and smell their own farts, so I'm cool with it. I'd have given it to Jojo Rabbit but Parasite is cool too.
Don't know this one, but was it done by the guy who did The Lobster? Because it sounds like him.

Don’t read any reviews or watch the trailer. Going in blind is the best way to see it.
Agree completely. I was expecting it to be one thing and it took a completely different turn. It has to win Best International Film tonight.

In our house, when a dog is laying on you you are exempt from having to move from your position lest you disturb the dog. We call this dog law. Everyone in the family knows that if the person the dog is on needs something, the other family members are to get it for them or help them out in whatever way. Need a drink refill? Invoke dog law and someone will do it for you with no complaints. Need to go to the bathroom? Sucks to be you because you can't get up. Etc.
