Fun, topical farce at RTAA in Roseville.

Bernie Sanders is the Candidate to Beat

He starts off in a good place:
He’s counting on winning Iowa and New Hampshire, where he was already surprisingly strong in 2016, and hoping that Cory Booker and Kamala Harris will split the black electorate in South Carolina and give him a path to slip through there, too. And then, Sanders aides believe, he’ll easily win enough delegates to put him into contention at the convention. They say they don’t need him to get more than 30 percent to make that happen.

Sheepdog Puppy

A Cassowary Attack is a Living Nightmare

Florida Man didn't stand a chance:
The cassowary is a "large, flightless bird most closely related to the emu," according to the San Diego Zoo. It can run up to 31 mph through dense underbrush, jump almost 7 feet into the air and is a skilled swimmer, so it can deftly fend off threats, the zoo says.

They can grow more than 5 feet tall and the heaviest females can weigh more than 160 pounds, the zoo says. Males weigh up to 120 pounds.

"The cassowary is rightfully considered the most dangerous bird in the world!" the zoo says. "Each 3-toed foot has a dagger-like claw on the inner toe that is up to 4 inches (10 centimeters) long! The cassowary can slice open any predator or potential threat with a single swift kick."

Jumping Spider

Beautiful California spider out front. After about 15 pictures, the spider lost patience, jumped on me, startled me, and made a quick getaway.

Hubris Bites Julian Assange In The Ass

About time he started to pay for his actions:
In a twist worthy of an O. Henry story — or possibly a classic Greek tragedy — WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's own hubris is what led ultimately to his arrest. For, without Assange, we would likely not have a President Donald Trump, and without a President Trump, Assange would likely not have been hauled out of the Ecuadorian embassy on Thursday, under arrest by British authorities responding to an extradition request from the Trump administration that Assange himself worked so tirelessly to elect.
