Unsolicited Dory Content:
First, this is something she started doing a couple months ago. She hops up on the little piano bench next to my chair and turns her back to me, demanding scritches.
If I stop, she paws at the arm of the chair, which we call "Pennying", after Sheldon Cooper's habit of knocking on Penny's door in a particular way - *knock knock knock* "Penny!", *knock knock knock* "Penny!", *knock knock knock* "Penny!" - on Big Bang Theory, because she always paws 3 times, then waits for a response, then paws again...

It's hot, dry, and windy here. Tomorrow I think I'll ride my crabon mountain bike instead of the road bike. I hope it doesn't asplode. I also hope my riding areas are not closed.

In snowboarding news, my wife has finally made the move to Burton Step On bindings. She made me demo them for a few years and was skeptical. Quite a bit different than the old step in bindings, but still nice. And it sucks to be the person everyone is waiting for.

We had most of our trees removed, leaving us with a Magnolia, a pair of Live Oaks, a California Buckeye, and an Orange. Then there was a historically huge acorn drop, and I spent hours this spring and summer pulling up Oak seedlings. From mighty acorns, little Oaks grow.
