June is a heavy travel month for me and today I’m again heading stateside for 8 days of dog shows. Unless the weather turns for the worse, I’ll be camping on the grounds for at least some of the circuit and internet access will be sketchy.
I’ve written a number of general interest posts that are scheduled to appear automatically, so keep that in mind when they appear. Note: for some reason, these automated posts sometimes refuse to take comments. If one of the guest bloggers notice, they may fix it, otherwise, my apologies – it’s just a glitch you’ll have to live with.
Also – remember that legitimate comments caught in the filter are less likely to be noticed and released. If you receive a message that your comment has been held, go back and rewrite to eliminate excessive linkage or words that may have tripped the spam filter (online, insurance, porn, etc.) Ignore the trolls and faux-conservative provocateurs. I’ll deal with those when I check in.
The usual crew of guest bloggers are invited to pop by. These folks do a great job, and help me manage these needed breaks. SDA is a high-frequency site by nearly anyone’s standard – getting away is my secret to avoiding burnout. So, if you’re inclined, consider sending a “case of beer” their way via the paypal button at their own sites, or the donation link at the left. (Be sure to let me know who it’s for.)
I’ll be back in about 10 days – wish us luck!

“Get ready for thrills, chills and excitement as Babble’s Chief Race Baiter… er anti-racism forum moderator, Big City Gal, Michelle the Dhimmi, and Remind the Unmedicated, mix it up over the Duke Rape Case.”
“Fair-minded” military analysis from Steve Staples? “What planet?”
“Goodness, Granny,” says the lawyer, “what happened?”
Objective reality vs Richard Rorty. Only one left standing.

I just arrived home from Dallas an hour or so ago. My day began at 2:30 am yesterday, and while I was back in Minot well before noon – a dog that was supposed to meet me there didn’t arrive for another 7 hours. I’ve only had about 6 hours sleep in the past 48.
At any rate, you’ll have to entertain yourselves with this thread for a while. I have a lot to get caught up on around here – after a nap.

It’s hot here in Dallas – especially considering that the afternoon I left Saskatoon, the good weather news was that the frost warming had been lifted. It’s a bit of a shock to the system.
(I’m here teaching some a group of my Schnauzer competitors all the tips they need to beat me. Or at least, that’s what I want them to think… bwwwwaaahaaaa…)
An open thread for your own tips. I’ll be checking in when I can, but if your comments get trapped in the filter, it’s probably best to reconsider some of the words you’ve selected or cut down on the links and resubmit. There’s no guarantee anyone will check the junk drawer.

(Note: I’m off on a working weekend, so things could be a bit slow around here until Tuesday.)
