Do not ever fly out of Stockholm. Ever. Their security is a foul joke.

They were confused by my toothpaste and back scratcher, along with the baggage of about half the other travelers, to the tune of a 10 minute halt at security.

Now, evidently, they're taking us to Valencia by bus.

Skipol involves a 45 minute taxi to the other side of the freeway.

Europe has several inconvenient airports.

Jaxter update: he knows what the words sit, come, and up mean, and will perform them on request if a tube treat is involved. I think he’s got a general notion of what stay means, also. I am proud of him because this is just his third training session.

TBH, I made the decision to start him on some training out of self-defense. I just felt like I needed to do something to redirect that firecracker in a bottle level of energy. I’m not a fan of clicker training. No shade to anyone who uses it, I just haven’t liked the results I’ve seen of people who do. May depend upon the Animal that you’re training. So, I’m looking around for some other things I can do to get some ideas across to him.

Wild game @ Petco tonight! Jays starter Troy Yesavage had a bit of trouble locating home plate, issuing seven walks while getting only five outs. Friars hurler Walker Buehler wasn’t much better, lasting two innings while walking four. SD was up 7-4 after four, but then Vladdy launched a three run bomb to tie it in the sixth. Pads up 8-7 atm but it’s far from over. Fifteen total walks in the game so far.

I don’t watch football ever. Not our football, not actual football.

But I’ve watched several of the World Cup matches this time. I am astounded at the officials allowing the players to lean right into their faces and shout and whine about *everything*.

Christ, what a shitshow.

I hate to say this again, but our football is based off of rugby... football.

You've probably heard me say that before. Okay, then.

I know. But American schmoes continue to refer to the NFL as β€œreal football!”, much to the amusement of the rest of the world.

Sweet Jesus. I'm already over this Minnesota heat dome. I tidied up our cabin this afternoon, and I worked up a sweat vacuuming. There's maybe a 0.5 mph breeze, and it's not even cool. Ugh. Tomorrow is supposed to be worse.

Awesome movie, as usual, Movie Boss! I debated tuning, because I thought I had seen it before. But I don't think I did. Either way it was oodles better than the pity party I had brewing. Thanks!

Looking forward to 12 Monkeys next week. I know I haven't seen that one.

I really thought Argentina were going to destroy this. I want the Swiss to win, even though I don't like the Swiss in general.

I always like to root for the underdog, because it's always more interesting when the underdog wins.

Swiss team doesn't look very Swiss to me. I though they were all bankers, watch-makers, and alpinists.

Chocolatiers also too. Not sure what they look like.

This was back before mobile phones, so you couldn't call somebody to make good on your bad shit.
