Be sure to vote in your state's primary elections if you can! They help the parties get a feel for how extreme/centered their voting members are trending and what talking points are making more of an impact. Many important local issues are also often put on the primary ballot!

I was apprehensive about what to expect with the new Muppet Show, but wow, they did an amazing job of staying true to the original look, feel, goofiness, heart of the original! It is definitely worth catching it if you can! I am looking forward to the future episodes :-)

Jaru is just a bit of a fan of SPAM (and yes, the meat product is in all caps, that is not just yelling, but who wouldn't be happy to enthusiastically call out for *SPAM*? Spam when not in all caps refers to junk email. #NationalSPAMDay

Mini-Jaru sticking out of a SPAM cooler bag surrounded by cans of 25% Less Sodium, Bacon, Gochujang, Hickory Smoke, Korean BBQ, Jalapeño, Tocino, Turkey, Maple, Hot & Spicey, Lite, Teriyaki, Classic, and small Classic SPAM.

I popped up to Toledo to visit my Dad while my older sister from Dallas was in town. We went to the Toledo Museum of Art since it holds a lot of memories for us. I was not expecting to come across a fursuit amongst their collection! #FursuitFriday

Mannequin of a man in a tracksuit wearing a large lamb fursuit head on display at the Toledo Museum of Art.Placard for the fursuit on display in the Toledo Museum of Art which says "This man wearing a lamb mask is a taekwondo instructor. He mainly teaches children ages six to fifteen. He is getting paid ninety U.S. dollars per day for performing six hours a day. This amount does not include lunch."Jaru in street clothes, not in fursuit, standing beside the mannequin with the lamb fursuit head inside the Toledo Museum of Art.

*Jaru ponders if he can be a celestial dog too* Sadly it looks like we will have clouds Saturday evening when both Canis Major and Canius Minor should be viewable. But if Jaru can't see them he can still howl his greeting to them! #FursuitFriday
