Happy Friday, readers. Frankie Suave has weekend plans we expect many of you share (and he is certainly anticipating with a smile).

As the senior resident of The Herd, Frankie Suave has the most practical expectations. The youngsters, Landon and Roscoe, always believe an adventure is around the corner. Typhoon assumes the world will revolve around his wishes. But Frankie has more realistic assumptions.

He knows we will take twice-daily walks of several miles, have scrumptious meals, and sprawl in the Hu-Dad’s bed overnight. But what special thing does he want?

At some point, you realize adventure is nice, but nice, cool air conditioning is all you really need in the summer.

A Shark Attacked My Best Friend
June 20, 2025 - In honor of the 50th anniversary of the theatrical debut of the movie Jaws, the film that was the inspiration for these events, D. K. Wall recorded the story in audio and video. The original story was posted on October 9, 2022.
A shark attacked my best friend when I was 11. His screams were awful. The silence that followed was worse. I was alone in the ocean.
I agree Frankie! Give me cool air, a fan and my Fluffy butts curled up next to me! Summer. Bliss. Hope your weekend is full of breezes and air conditioning!
