Parts of my Uniform

I’m a shorts wearing guy, and these are my daily drivers. The Docker Perfect Short. They have a clever phone pocket and they fit. I’m experiencing some “temporary weight gain”, which is causing problems, specifically, with these docker shorts.

You see, the sizing can be kooky. For example, I have a pair of these that are a size 38 and they fit like a size 42. So, I ordered another pair, size 38. Intial try on and the button is indented 2″, making these a size 36. Weird. So I order the next size larger and they fit almost the same, but the button is in the correct position.

This just struck me as odd.

Navy Therapy Dogs

A female Labrador retriever named Sage has served as a therapy dog on the Ford since 2023, initially as part of a trial of the concept for the Navy. Sage, who holds the rank of captain, is “trained to alert to anxiety, reduce stress, and interrupt detrimental behaviors,” said Tara Fisher, a spokesperson for Mutts with a Mission, a nonprofit that connects specially trained dogs like Sage with military and law enforcement personnel.

No Kings Protest

Before Springsteen took the stage, organizers played a video in which actor Robert DeNiro said he wakes up every morning depressed because of Trump but was happier Saturday because millions of people were protesting. He also congratulated Minnesotans for running ICE out of town.

The bill also included singer Joan Baez, actor Jane Fonda, Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders and a long list of activists, labor leaders and elected officials.

Protesters held up a massive sign on the Capitol steps that read, “We had whistles, they had guns. The revolution starts in Minneapolis.”
