Joop's Dog Log - Friday Jan 30

See, our snow is melting away already.
Problem is: the wind is blowing from the wrong direction.
In January and February we’re supposed to get cold winds from the East
(from Güster, and from Russia, and Siberia), or from the North (from Scandinavia).
But the wind is blowing from the West (England) and Northwest (Scotland).
So the whole system is messed up. That means: no ice, little snow, lots of rain.
I wonder what causes this.
The melting of the pole caps?
The thinning of the ozone layer?
The rockets to Mars?
The freeloading snapshooters on Fotolog?
God? Britney Spears? GWB?
Or is it just nature doing what it pleases?
So much to think about…

Canon PowerShot G2
1/500s f/4.0 at 7.0mm full exif

Yup, I know, Joop, lots of questions. I can`t answer them, I`m afraid, as I`m not sure what is making for such `interesting` weather. One thing I do know tho, the weather yr having right now, in this photo, makes you the perfect camo dog. I mean, a white dog with black spots on a white road with black spots? I tell you, yr close to invisible! Not that I encourage you to take advantage of this phenomenon, mind you. Just mentioning it, for what it`s worth.
Oh, and I tend to blame it all on the decline in the artistry in today`s popular music. Hey, you asked. Likely as good an explanation as any.

Personally, I blame it on gremlins, but I rather like nan`s thought about the decline in music. Hmmm... or maybe it`s because humans have started called themselves Snoopy and other doggish names.

Moin, Joop...what/who is GWB? We got much more snow over night...a real winterwonderland....it took Bosslady double time to drive to work, but the white snow makes the morning tour bright . We do not believe that stupid girlie Britney could cause anything in the world..

la_vie_en_rouge @ 2004-01-30 02:40 said:
Wow, Joop. You`re a scholar AND a philosopher. I`m SO impressed!
I say just blame EVERYTHING on GWB. ;-)
That snow still looks mighty cold, though. Your nose looks frozen!

waldgeister @ 2004-01-30 03:02 said:
Thanks for explanation, partner...now Bosslady will be proud, you can call her DKB from now on, but PLEASE don`t mention her together with GWB..should prefer MLK...and: don`t look that sad, baby...take the wonderful moment now and enjoy it...come what may....D*K*B

Most serious messed up things world wide seem to connect to GWB so I suspect the weather as well...
Great photo!

HMMMM I think the cause of the messed up weather is not enough cookies!!! More cookies bring more seasonable weather

Poor Joop! At least you DO get some chilly winds, and some ice and snow... over here, it`s just too darn hot!! We`re all melting with this boiling weather!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

giori @ 2004-01-30 10:22 said:
Maybe your humans need to get you a handsome sweater? You look cold today!
Maybe something in a nice deep blue .... ?
(Blame it on W. And Wal-Mart. I harbor an intense dislike for them both.)

I personally like to blame all current and probably many future disasters on GWB. Seems the only honest thing to do...he deserves it!!!!
Wow, Joop, you look totally like you belong in melting snow. Couldn`t hide you better unless the ground was black.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

edulopes @ 2004-01-30 13:58 said:
you look sad, joop... cheer up! and yes, it is GWB who`s causing all of this. i personally think he`s the reason for all that`s bad in the world. or at least he represents it.
then again, who knows... maybe it`s the umbrella industry.

GWB I am sure of it.................... bastage! grrrrrrrrr !!!!!

What a great shot! Joop you look so good. Maybe a little bit sad but the sun on your fur is doing a good job to `enlighten` you :)
Don`t muse about the reason for the messed up weather, it`s not worth it - and you can`t change it (and GWB can`t, I think). Take this sunny day and be happy.

Yeap! So much to think about... and a long way to walk...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Joop, you think way too much sometimes! Just enjoy the walk and hope for a couple of extra cookies!

Joop, what a sweet face you have! I love this picture of you. Hello from this week`s Dogmiss, who is sitting on my lap right now.

Our weather is all messed up, too. Lots of pollution, acid rain, etc. I wish the world was going to the dogs. Maybe we would do better.
Max.
