Friday Night Photos Dog Day Afternoon Edition

Happy Friday everyone. As always, post any photos you like.

The nations birthday is on Monday so fix up your favorite food and beverage and party like it's 1999.

I shot these yesterday afternoon while I was at the the San Diego county fair. There were four dogs in the show, all rescue dogs ranging in age from 1-4 years. They were all very happy dogs and had tons of energy. The first five shots are the dog catching two frisbees in the same run.

Here's Why the Conversations in these Threads are Important

Have we grown too thin skinned to accept other opinions? Have we become so divided that we wont listen to each other anymore?

It's important that we have these discussions, even with the acrimony. It's how we learn from each other. Both sides of the issues, on the same site, in black and white, I know it's a novel idea in this day and age. That's why c99 is an open discussion zone. Free range politics means we chickens can roam wherever we want.

Have you ever visited an echo chamber of a site, but stopped short of commenting because of the animosity, knowing you'll be banned for speaking up? You can do that here, for the world to see. There are folks that read this site every day, looking for answers. You wont find any answers in an echo chamber, unless one is looking for bias confirmation.

Please stop hating on each other. There's enough hate and division in the world already.

Tolerance is the key, short of that we are doomed. Soon our hatred will divide us to the point where we all stand alone at a time when we need to stand together.

Or am I just shouting into the existential void?

More proof that the economy doesn't work for the working class

When I was growing up it was called moonlighting. It wasn't something to be proud of. It was something you did without telling anyone. When I was growing up, unregistered cabs were called "gypsy cabs". They weren't anything to be proud of either. Moonlighting got rebranded to "side hustle", so it sounds cool.
