Good morning, all. Gee, wonder why none of those guide dogs are Sibes?
7:58 am on May 30th, 2014
We here Love this Organization! Guide Dogs for the Deaf too.
O’Howlers: Yes, wonder why? snicker.
8:00 am on May 30th, 2014
Chet is Very Early this morning. Nice, because so are we.
Good Morning Everyone!
8:30 am on May 30th, 2014
BSD, You know we can find our way to anywhere.
8:33 am on May 30th, 2014
Howlers, we know you can find your way anywhere, but you are supposed to get your person there in one piece.
Did everyone see our alert last night about sugarless gum? Highly toxic to us four leggeds. Much worse than chocolate! Two pieces can kill a small dog the size of Macy or LouLou. Who knew?
8:34 am on May 30th, 2014
Good morning OH, BSD and everyone! Great story. Mom did some cry for happy 🙂 We love service dogs. Mmm? Guide Sibes? The world isn’t ready!
Have a frivolous Friday.
8:34 am on May 30th, 2014
Interesting article.
Good morning all.
8:39 am on May 30th, 2014
B&M, we had seen that before. Mom, being a retired teacher has always had a rule about NO GUM in her house 🙂 (a la Joan Crawford’s wire hangers)
8:49 am on May 30th, 2014
B&M, we did see your post about the sugarless gum. We had NO IDEA! Boris used to walk to the local ice cream bar with Mom almost every evening in the summer, back in the day. Not only did he get some ice cream, but he also got to enjoy all the chewed up/spit out gum on that parking lot. Gah!
8:54 am on May 30th, 2014
If Xylitol is so harmful to the Nation Within, what about 2-leggeds? Artificial sweeteners in general
seem suspect to us.
Howlers: Maybe back in Boris’ day it was regular chewing gum, not the sugarless variety.
8:54 am on May 30th, 2014
Hello All–Leaving for the last regular class of the year. Last chance for education to occur! (I’m really tired…)
Be well, everyone. (And no gum for anyone. Not wholesome, and impossible to consume without being unattractive.)
8:58 am on May 30th, 2014
Howlers, it is only the sugarless that is bad for us, due to the chemical Xylitol. Even the pre-chewed kind is bad. Barb is not a gun chewer, so we don’t have it in the house.
HOH, Mommy Dearest! Barb’s daughters used to call her that as a joke (she thinks) if they thought she was being too strict about something. We still remember that book – NO WIRE HANGERS!!! It must have made an impression because we do not have a single wire hanger here.
Guiding Eyes is one of the charities we give money to, or to which we give money.
9:00 am on May 30th, 2014
DianeC., not to mention speech around a wad of it!
9:02 am on May 30th, 2014
Masquers and Maggie, We are certain there was no such thing as artificially sweetened gum back in Boris’ day. Mom is not a gum-chewer either, but Pop used to be. Boris ate his when Pop got home from work then too.
Also to Masquers: we agree. In fact, artificial anything should not be put in or on anyone’s body…2-legged or 4-legged.
9:05 am on May 30th, 2014
Howlers, Barb still gags when she remembers walking one time with her two young daughters. One of them stopped on the sidewalk, grabbed a big wad of chewing gum and popped it in her mouth before Barb could stop her. Yuck!
Diane, we agree, when we see someone being interviewed with chewing gum in her mouth, it is very distracting, and automatically lowers the I Q of the person.
9:11 am on May 30th, 2014
Diane and Barb&Magpie: Yep. Chewing gum can be Very Unattractive when it is done in public.
Pre-Chewed Gum. Yark.
(gum. what a strange sounding word)
9:11 am on May 30th, 2014
Off to the Cat scan. BBmuchL because afterwards I get to go to the big greenhouse in Grand Forks. A treat for Me me me.
9:22 am on May 30th, 2014
Staff, be careful driving with the weather that is headed your way today.
9:25 am on May 30th, 2014
Good luck Staff, and be careful driving. Sounds like you have some bad weather coming.
9:38 am on May 30th, 2014
Staff has bad weather? We didn’t know that. However, we did see that Anchorage area is supposed to get SNOW tomorrow!!! Yikes!
9:43 am on May 30th, 2014
We didn’t know Staff had bad weather coming either. We were just taking HOH’s word for it. Hummmm….
BSD, Going to the library today and will check into the Golden Retriever mystery series. First on is In Dog We Trust. Will probably have to order it.
9:44 am on May 30th, 2014
OH, SNOW??? In Anchorage??? Maybe they can save it for next March when it is needed 🙂
9:52 am on May 30th, 2014
Some gifts to Melanie..
9:57 am on May 30th, 2014
Mel’s one asparagus spear.
.jpg)
10:03 am on May 30th, 2014
Melanie’s yield so far, one asparagus spear by dog’s tail.
10:05 am on May 30th, 2014
SNOW? yOU have got to be Kidding Me!
Hi, Zoe! Wonderful Gifts!
Now Nana is off to see the Dentist.
BBL this afternoon.
10:19 am on May 30th, 2014
BSD, tell Nana to be sure to use Novocain so she doesn’t transcend dental medication (we know, we’ve said it before)
10:20 am on May 30th, 2014
We get knocked out at the dentist. Not sure why, but we do dream about lots of running and hunting.
Zoe, Those gifts look very nice. But that poor lone asparagus! 🙁
10:21 am on May 30th, 2014
Zoe, lovely fotos and beautiful plants. My goofie newfie grazes on sunflowers, strawberries, eggplant and bell peppers. I keep telling her her ancestors ate meat to no avail.
10:40 am on May 30th, 2014
Zoe. Great photos. We used to have an asparagus bed, but Wookie and his pal Casey liked to wrestle and graze in the asparagus bed (Casey thought of it as a kind of asparagus smorgasbord), so alas, it is no more.
10:46 am on May 30th, 2014
Mom says that it is frightening of think of someone trying to use a Siber as a guide dog for the blind.
Blessings to all our service dogs.
Barb, thank you for posting about Xylitol being toxic to dogs. Mom knew about it.
There are so many things humans can eat that are deadly to dogs.
Zoe, great to hear from you!
There was a time when wild asparagus could be gathered along the irrigation ditch banks here, but those days are gone. Mom used to do it.
11:27 am on May 30th, 2014
If BStover ever needs it, I will be her hearing guide dogs. I have ears enough for both of us.
11:48 am on May 30th, 2014
CHobbit: I would like to place an order for two pug-me marmosets—one for me, one for my very most, special, best friend, Wose. They can ride around on my tail.
12:51 pm on May 30th, 2014
Ve think single asparagus stalk is funny message from our friend.
It made Natasha laugh. Vas such example of her vicked sense of humor.
12:56 pm on May 30th, 2014
Belle Starr, That is a very cute marmoset. I like his little round tummy!
I missed you on this here blog.
1:06 pm on May 30th, 2014
Thank you Charlie. You have beautiful ears!
1:12 pm on May 30th, 2014
Natasha, perhaps your assessment of the 1 stalk is correct.
1:44 pm on May 30th, 2014
We stole this for your viewing/reading pleasure.

2:15 pm on May 30th, 2014
B: You have been my book reading guide person for some time now. It only seems fair that I be you hearing guide dog.
2:46 pm on May 30th, 2014
Zoe: Love the photos! Especially the Asparagus Highlighted by Newf Tail. Shall I whip up some hollandaise sauce?
Charlie: You do have beautiful ears!
It has been such perfect weather here – in the 70’s F. with a slight breeze, occasionally clouding over with big dark clouds that the wind then blows away. I would like some of the moisture in those clouds for the garden. The house is a mess but it is impossible to stay inside! 🙂
2:51 pm on May 30th, 2014
I think that photograph on my avatar has expired. Heh!
2:56 pm on May 30th, 2014
For the record, we did not steal Dawson’s avatar. We thought about it, sure, but we are innocent in this regard.
3:05 pm on May 30th, 2014
Hey, Charlie. I’m reading a new translation of Beowulf by J.R.R. Tolkien. (He completed it in 1926 but as far as I know it has never been published until now. It’s in prose rather than the alliterative verse of the original Old English poem.) It includes a mead hall, warriors, battles, a monster called Grendel and his mother, and a dragon. Want to read it with me?
3:41 pm on May 30th, 2014
Dawson!…I think you are using a different email address on this here blog. Your avatar is connected to your email address you used to set-up your image…grunt!…This will go in one ear and out the other very quickly…snort!
3:42 pm on May 30th, 2014
B: You had me at ‘Hey.’ Race you to the easy chair!
3:43 pm on May 30th, 2014
Dentist!…My friend finally called her dentist to schedule an appointment, but alas, they are closed on Fridays…heh!heh!
3:43 pm on May 30th, 2014
Rio: Two words—pay up.
3:48 pm on May 30th, 2014
Time to head out to pick up Lyla and deliver her to the bike shop. Be back a little later. Putting chauffeur hat on now.
4:06 pm on May 30th, 2014
Annabellie!…Double or Nothin’…snort!…If you land on 101 tonight it will be Double slobbery-ness. If not I owe you nothing…wheeze!
4:22 pm on May 30th, 2014
Rio: Remember that the Thieves were begat by the fruit of my looms.
4:22 pm on May 30th, 2014
Twice! Pay up twice!
4:54 pm on May 30th, 2014
Peck of Parrots, here is a piece done by my cousin Rob and his wife Bev. The title is Bird Song by The Grateful Dead. My cousin was a true blue Dead Head which is why I had to have this. The feathers were donated by Poncho the Parrot and the frame was made by Rob of parrot wood.

be sure and stick around until the pug. I think I know him.

Dear Mr. CEO of Siber-H Construction and Civil Engineers,

I am looking for gainful employment. I am in training to be a Civil Engineer, and would like to intern at your firm. I can submit a full portfolio of my current projects if requested. In the meantime, here is one sample from the portfolio. It is to be a full-size tunnel that goes under the stone walkway, just in case one needs to get to the house and avoid traffic on that walkway.
5:56 pm on May 30th, 2014
Sam’s girl has a summer internship with a financial organization. As part of their protocol they submitted her fingerprints to the FBI. They got the report back that the FBI said her fingerprints were cleared. I am so proud.
5:59 pm on May 30th, 2014
MPM, really great news.
Zeus, perhaps Darah Thea and I (Lucy Lou) could apprentice with you as we have aspired to tunnelization of the yard. Please let us know ASAP, oops, we hear the dinner bell. BBL.
6:13 pm on May 30th, 2014
MollysMaw!…Now those are some good looking photoz!…snort!…One can actually see the subject matter…heh!…Oh and I had the Mission Team hard at work on confiscating Sam’s Girls Official Records and replacing them with the Clean Ones…snort!…You can thank us anytime by donating big to the upcoming Snowhook Auction coming up July 3 – 6!…chuffle!…Donation item photoz due to Snowhook by June 20th…wheeze!
6:15 pm on May 30th, 2014
Risky!…My friend is going to Risk-It and go for her walk, the one without us, while the skies look like they could open up any moment…heh!…Risky Business!
6:20 pm on May 30th, 2014
Stand-Down!…Walking on hold. We just had a Weather Alert and the wind has picked up. All reliable signs of a storm on its way…grunt!gurgle!
6:21 pm on May 30th, 2014
I texted Sam’s girl about the fingerprint clearance that I was happy to see that. She told me they will never catch her. Looks like she is well-suited for a career in the financial arena if she so chooses.
6:23 pm on May 30th, 2014
Macy, I think I that pug too. LOL!
6:23 pm on May 30th, 2014
I think I KNOW that pug, too. GAH!
6:26 pm on May 30th, 2014
MPM, we are proud of Sam’s girl too!
6:26 pm on May 30th, 2014
Rebecca: Make sure you are locked and loaded. CHobbit this goes for you too!

Zeusikov, Hey Dude, You are hired!
Great Work! Good Job!
7:24 pm on May 30th, 2014
Deluge!…gah!…Someone here is on the alert for Hail. She has things gathered to save her little budding garden if need be….yeeep!
7:25 pm on May 30th, 2014
Thunder!…Oh now I remember something I need to find under the big bed…grunt!gruffle!wheeze!
7:45 pm on May 30th, 2014
Rio – we just checked under the big bed. That thing you wanted isn’t there.
We got to go to the show grounds today to help set up. We were very helpful. But for some reason the Storyteller said some naught words anyway.
Go figure.
8:03 pm on May 30th, 2014
Tupper!…I think it is under there. I can almost see it…sniff!sniff!…It’s in the middle….grunt!
8:04 pm on May 30th, 2014
Rio: Now I’ve done it! What I did was change my gmail password.
Huge thunder rolls brought me inside. Now the sun is shining.
There is a hockey game in less than an hour.
8:06 pm on May 30th, 2014
Dawson!…You can still enter your old email account onto this here blog…snort!…Unless you want to go update your Avatar Account with your old email address…chuffle!
8:08 pm on May 30th, 2014
Password!…This blog does not look at any new passwords, just your Username on your Email Account((s) – as some do)…grunt!
8:10 pm on May 30th, 2014
Sniff!….Now I am confused…grunt!
8:16 pm on May 30th, 2014
Dawson!….logon to your old Gravatar account with your old email address and old password…snort!…I think there are options to change your password and email address…sniff!…It looked that way to me anyways…heh!heh!…We need to see your smilin’ face by golly!…grunt!
8:25 pm on May 30th, 2014
The combination that is set up in Gravatar is an email address connected with a picture. Nothing to do with password. To post on this blog, you simply give the email address that you set up with Gravatar and the picture you set up with it will appear when you post.
8:33 pm on May 30th, 2014
Yup!…That is what I first thought MollysMaw, but when Dawson said her password had changed…sniff!…I got to wondering, but I do believe you are right. It is the Email Address only that Gravatar looks for and Dawson is a liar, she changed her email address too…heh!heh!
8:36 pm on May 30th, 2014
Dawson! You Didn’t (did you?)
8:41 pm on May 30th, 2014
We have to go to bed so we can be up at 5 am to be at the show. Goodnight, family.
Sleep in peace.
8:43 pm on May 30th, 2014
Tupper&Gilly: Wishing Golinka & the Storyteller a Very Successful Shew.
8:44 pm on May 30th, 2014
Royals: Naught words are some of our favorite things along with swears, curses and cusses.
8:44 pm on May 30th, 2014
8:44 pm on May 30th, 2014
Dawson, look in Gravatar and see what email address you used with your picture. Maybe you just have a typo in the email address field on the comment that you are submitting. Just in case, try to test post and totally wipe out the email address and type it back in.
8:45 pm on May 30th, 2014
Rio: What’s an evil pug like you doing in a place like this?
8:45 pm on May 30th, 2014
Peace be with you, too, Massachusetts family branch.
8:46 pm on May 30th, 2014
Masquers, snort!
8:49 pm on May 30th, 2014
Annabellie!…Is scaring me more than the Thunder!….wheeze!
8:52 pm on May 30th, 2014
Ok, just a reminder of this story from yesterday:
Mom went to the retirement party for Dad’s boss today. Then she went out to the car to leave and there was a note on her windshield telling her that she had a flat tire. Out of nowhere came the man who wrote the note. He was parked right beside the flat tire, AND had an air compressor in his car. Mom has friends in HIGH places.
He called just a few minutes ago. Turns out that his wife worked with Dad, AND he and his wife know Grandma from church. How about that! He was afraid that we were getting bad advice about our tires and offered his services as a man (heh-heh) so that we would not get taken advantage of with things such as tires, sewers, exterminators, etc. Have we mentioned the dozens of ants that we have vacuumed up after spritzing them with Raid. Dozens, heading into hundreds. Sheesh.
8:53 pm on May 30th, 2014
Masquers: Snort!
Mollypop’s Mom: You got it! I had left out a letter to my address the last time I typed it. Duh!
8:59 pm on May 30th, 2014
Dawson: Wooo & Hooo! You are back with avatar intact.
8:59 pm on May 30th, 2014
Macy, Glad he was a nice man. That story almost sounds a little spooky to us. You have a flat tire, a man happens to be sitting there with an air compressor. Sounds likes the beginning of a tv drama! Barb would have stayed in her car and dialed 911.
9:01 pm on May 30th, 2014
Macy Min-Pin: That is a Great Story. Your Mom, indeed, has Friends in High Places.
Yep. Six Degrees of Separation.
9:05 pm on May 30th, 2014
Dawson!…OH Brother!…{{head-slap}}..grunt!
9:07 pm on May 30th, 2014
Macy!…I was concerned about that convenient air compressor myself…snuffle!…So glad this story ended with family connections and someone you can call during those “times”…wheeze! & whew!
9:10 pm on May 30th, 2014
Rio: No need to be scarit. I think it is fun to play. Now that I’m retired, I have plenty of time on my paws to catch up on slurpy pug kisses I missed when I was training the A team.
9:15 pm on May 30th, 2014
Rio: Plus, I like keeping you on your dew claws.
9:15 pm on May 30th, 2014
Annabellie!…It is Double OR Nuthing…heh!…You better be on your tip-top toes tonight!…snort!
9:19 pm on May 30th, 2014
Just a recap for those who have their avatars with me. With my account on Gravatar.com I have Sammy, Mollypop, Loulou, Siber-H and BlueCat.
9:20 pm on May 30th, 2014
Wait, wait, wait, we want to get in on the slurpy, burpy stuff.
9:20 pm on May 30th, 2014
ML – is vhat ve call the guardian angel. The love you had here vill alvays be carried over from other side of Bridge.
Ve are having a little sniffle for you and hope you vill alvays feel loved.
9:21 pm on May 30th, 2014
Double!
9:21 pm on May 30th, 2014
Slurp, burp. US?
9:21 pm on May 30th, 2014
Rio: Given our height difference, I think it is you who will be on tip-top toes.
9:21 pm on May 30th, 2014
101. Rio – kiss me!
9:22 pm on May 30th, 2014
Or!…Nuthing!…heh!heh!heh!heh!…snort!
9:22 pm on May 30th, 2014
Rets. Foiled again.
9:22 pm on May 30th, 2014
Seconds!…I beat everyone by Seconds…Snort! and Slurp! and Burp!
9:24 pm on May 30th, 2014
Rio: I’m not dismayed. I will take the slurpy pug kiss owed to me from last night and again this afternoon. Who do you think taught the Thieves everything they know?
More to Rio: SMOOCH!
9:25 pm on May 30th, 2014
Annabellie!…Now be a good loser for once in your life….snorkel!…Maybe you will get lucky tomorrow night…burp!
9:29 pm on May 30th, 2014
I’ll take that smooch and raise you tomorrow. On an unrelated note, check the sled I brought. I brought beer and hot wings with me. Help yourself.
9:38 pm on May 30th, 2014
Annabellie!…Slurp! And SMOOOOOCH!…Wooooo!…This is what I have been asking Beau to pray for all week long!!…snort!snort!…And it finally stopped raining completely…wheeze!
9:42 pm on May 30th, 2014
The Thieves said Beau mentioned something about asking and shall receiving. Apparently, there is something to it.
9:52 pm on May 30th, 2014
Whoa! Rio, pace yourself. Hot wings aren’t endangered. We have plenty. The Thieves are on their way with more, and they’re bringing Wyatt with them. Wyatt said he needs to confess all his wrong doings and general bad-assness. Oh, Wyatt…
9:54 pm on May 30th, 2014
Magpie: Barb is right. That could be the Opening Scene of a great mystery story.
AnnaBelle: Sled filled with Food & Grog? Don’t start without me!
10:18 pm on May 30th, 2014
Macy’s Mom, Barb is sometimes overly cautious, but we think you should be careful. You say he has called you now and offered to help? Same guy who just happened to be there with an air compressor? You are vulnerable right now. Just be sure someone does not taking advantage of you, financially or emotionally. Just saying.
Does anyone else agree, or are we being too skeptical?
10:24 pm on May 30th, 2014
Proof!…As long as the guy can provide proof of his identity and once you get that, send it to the FBI for further investigation..grunt!…Once he passes that test, then send it to Mission Control here and we will really check him out…wheeze!…We here never like the “convenience” factor in any story…sniff!
10:26 pm on May 30th, 2014
Maggie: Should be easy enough for Macy’s Mom to check out his story.
10:28 pm on May 30th, 2014
We are back. First I had to have a nap. Then we planted the potatoes, then we had dinner and now, finally, I am catching up with the blog.
We haven’t had any bad weather yet. Rain and some thunder but nothing scary. Later tonight maybe lots of rain. 2 inches or so. The farmers were all rushing to get in some more seed before the bad weather.
Tupper and Gilly make sure your Mama gets her sleep tonight. Lots of work tomorrow.
ML you are being watched over.
10:31 pm on May 30th, 2014
Or…as Nattie said…it could be a Guardian Angel.
10:33 pm on May 30th, 2014
If the Giant were to be asked, he would probably tell ML to be cautious, be locked, be loaded. Have I mentioned that the Giant is known to be over protective? He gets it from me. That said, we are glad someone was there when ML needed help. If she were closer, I would voluntell him that he is to help ML with all the honey-do things.
10:37 pm on May 30th, 2014
For clarification, I would voluntell the Giant to help ML not just an ol’ he-body.
10:39 pm on May 30th, 2014
Hi Staff!
Nana saw her Favorite Dentist at the UW today for the last time (Sob) At least for now. He is off to work in Mpls for a year.
She assured him he would Love it.
10:51 pm on May 30th, 2014
We believe there really are a few good people in this world who just want to help someone in need.
We also believe that there is no such thing as a coincidence (usually). The fact that he was sitting there next to a flat tire just gave us a weird gut feeling, and then when you said today that he has called you, well, that is all we are going to say.
10:51 pm on May 30th, 2014
Ahem…we just recieved the following transition from Rio at Mission Control:
Weather is bad. Snort.
Internet is down. Snort.
May not post until tomorrow. Snort.
Staffie has been on my mind all day. Snort.
Staffie in Beau’s prayers. Snort.
Time to break out water wings and save hot wings. Snort.
Glub, glub, glub. Snort.
10:54 pm on May 30th, 2014
Transmission not transition. Gah!
10:55 pm on May 30th, 2014
Luna: A likely Story! He just wants all the Hot Wings & Beer for hisSelf.
11:00 pm on May 30th, 2014
Maggie: Always better to be safe than sorry.
11:04 pm on May 30th, 2014
It’s 11 O’clock where youse are on the East Coast and it sure FEELS like it is here too.
That Early Rising this am is taking its toll.
Niters from Bear.
11:11 pm on May 30th, 2014
BSD: I thought it was a likely story at first, too. However, Annabelle’s blurred back completely soaked (and not from doing cannonballs into the vat of beer) and with most of her fur out of place. She said it was raining herbs and corgis and that Beau was on the go-phone calling for an ark.
11:12 pm on May 30th, 2014
Nighty night from us too.
11:21 pm on May 30th, 2014
Woowee! What a storm at mission control. I wanted to blur Rio, his Friend and Beau to high and dry ground, but had no luck. I could blur Friend just fine, but when Rio and Beau were added as carry-ons I could make it more than a couple of feet. Friend said not to worry, that she would make sure they all got on the ark if it came to it.
From what I could gather Beau is not normally allowed to use Rio’s go-phone. No surprise there, but Rio let him because of the emergency. Exceptions have to be made when lives and beer are on the line.

As I was taking off on my blur, the last thing I heard and saw was Rio yelling, “Save the hot wings!” as he threw his pug body over them.

ML: I do agree with Barb. Something “twinged” when I read he was waiting there with an air compressor. Be careful.
This hockey game is Chicago 4 LA 3 with 2 minutes to go!~

We wonder if Beau had any luck using the bible as a yellow pages to find an ark.

Chicago stays in it to force game 7!
Rio takes one for the team!
Me too!
All the sunshine and thunder today has worn me out.
Night all. ‘Cept LizF. G’day to Liz and Ruby.

That’s it. We decided we are heading back to Rio and Beau’s place. From what we gather, the ark is a buy one, get one free admission. Rio and Beau come on twos, and what do you know, so do we. We will bring provisions, too.

We arrived just in time with provisions. Rio had slurped and burped his way through the entire sled of hot wings and beer.
Nighty noodles.

Uh, you guys might want to re-read the ark story. Something about male and female…
Oh, and the guy that called, he just said hi, then put his wife, who worked with Rick, on the phone. My mom vouched for them. Thank you all for your concern.

ML, we are happy that there are good people looking out for you. It is good to know that your mom vouched for them.

Hello Everyone–I’m trying to catch up, and am moved to ask:
1) What marmoset pictures? (Please tell me I don’t have to go to F-book) I love mamrmosets.
2)B. Stover–Has it ever struck you as strange that Grendel has a name, but his Mom is only “Grendel’s mother”? Same for the dragon.
Also…
O’Howlers–thanks for the Cherokee proverb. Excellently expressed. (Sometimes hard to avoid feeding the one that’s most in your face at certain times.)

Macy’s Mom–I concur with what others have said about the convenient air compressor guy. May be harmless, but also may be not.

BSD–And finally, saw your headshot. You are one handsome dude!
