Linear thought is a flaw. As a dog, I like to cozy up on the sofa, pull up a glass of coffee and cookies and pretend to be human. I sometimes think that I wasted my time learning new tricks rather than playing outside.

NASA reports that nearly 12 hours ago, an X-7-rated flare erupted from the sun.
