Earlier.  . . Dog contemplating life.  

Few questions;
- big dog / small fence?
- normal dog close,  normal fence far?
- photoshopped trees? 
- nice lawn with photoshopped dog, fence and trees? 

Big dog. 
4 foot fence (1.2 meters)
Big dog is midway between fence and I.
No photoshopping 
The fence is at the bottom of a hill. Dog is at the top of the hill. The dog is not smart. I thought it was funny that he looked to be contemplating. 

Thank you for your comprehensive response. 
But why one tree this side of the fence? @nolaegghead won't rest until he knows.

I think it just came down to finding a straight line to erect the fence.  There are more trees "inside" the fence to the left.

@nolaegghead your feelings about this please? 

The situation is worse than I feared.  The segratory wall has made an appearance in ancient China, Berlin, Mexico and now the sparse forest of flyover county.

I'll survey the situation and maybe eliminate all of the trees on the inside of the fence.  That will end the segregation.  No more hurt feelings.

Was all set to read the article when the grammatical atrocity of the first sentence stopped me in my tracks and discredited it altogether. 

If you are like me, you might have sat in your favorite Chinese restaurant and ate eaten an egg roll only to ponder why it has such an unusual name.

You didn't miss anything.  Basically a very long way of saying, "Fvck if I know".

Thanks for the Coles notes. Exactly as I would expect from my limited review.

Have you gone to sat and eaten often?

I'm a scientist and don't know much about grammer but my growling, hungry gut is saying sit and eat some damn eggroles. Wait, that's not the right tense.  See, I don't know.

I was working, but wifey took the kids out for a walk just in front of the house this am when she took this shot, which melted my heart. 

(Way to ruin a beautiful moment, Vanilla!!)

Waiting for the B&B petroleum stink to fade. Couldn't get Rockwood on my last Ace hardware run. 



Edit - the only thing worse than the petroleum is forgetting to burp the egg

It took me 61 years to realize this, but why do we call them "eggrolls"?  There's no egg in them.    

Ah - I worked in a Hunan Chinese restaurant that our neighbors ran. Our employee meals were fantastic, and the egg rolls had egg in them if they were served. Mostly we had spicey as fu*k chicken bits used for chicken broth over rice, still there best food I've eaten.

I can cope with mulling over the dog size but I can't have deforestation on my conscience.   @nolaegghead definitely has all the tools you might need.

@CPFC1905, I'm wondering why Zaha felt a need to stay on the pitch well into halftime...

My friend Herb told me that, in ancient China, neophyte chefs had to roll out the wrappers, using a raw egg.  Keeping the shell from breaking ensured a tender wrapper (and Herb is a Philosophy major).
 
So, I'm collecting drivel today.

This is now my go-to party explanation!  Thank you.

First, that’s awesome. Secondly, just curious, does the meet have a vaccine or negative COVID test requirement for the participants?

No requirements on testing, but there were temperature checks at the door, masks are mandatory, and each athlete could only bring a few spectators with them.  There’s also a number of cycles, with a limited number of athletes competing at any one time.  So the huge gym is fairly empty.

Only reason I asked was that our son’s girlfriend is on a competitive cheer team and recently had a competition at Disney. Their mitigation efforts sound the same as your meet except they had to have a negative test as well.

That's great!!  More remarkable is you didn't get a troll flag on this post (as of yet).

No crazy people who yelled at you for "child abuse" and called family services b/c your kids are wearing masks?
