My mother was afraid of any animal with teeth. So we never had a pet as kids.

Later in life I took a job traveling to malls with pet stores around the country taking portrait photos of pets, mostly cats and dogs. Out of the ordinary I photographed a Goldfish, a three month old cougar, two snakes, a sheep and a mouse.

I had only got one animal that tried to attack me. A guy in jumpsuit brought his medium but very muscular and VERY hyper pitbull. It wasn't big but it looked dangerous. I got the owner to sit him on the floor and stay after a few tries.

I got only one shot. Normally I would take about eight shots in different positions. When I triggered the camera the three flash units startled the dog and he went right for me. Luckley the owner was ready for it and quickly grabbed the dogs' collar and stopped him just in time.

At the end of the shoot the only poop I had to clean up was my own and unlike my mother I only fear muscular pitbulls.

That immediately made me think of...

ROTFLMFAHS!!

Thinking there was only one blurry video from an old security camera, her office put out a statement completely denying that she was vaping (people must have been confused by the fog from stage she claimed) or being disruptive.

Sadly for her another video has been released showing clearly that she was definitely vaping and continued after being asked to stop by the pregnant woman in the next seat, was not only filming but taking pictures using her flash, disrupting the performance, was singing loudly, talking, laughing, dancing wildly bumping the man in the next seat, and with hundreds of children in attendance is being publicly groped by her john who reaches over for a handful of grandma titty and when he stops she grabs his hand and puts it back on her boob.

Let’s hope she’s too busy walking the streets to remember to vote against changing the debt ceiling in two weeks like she forgot last time.

This works well but it's hard to see if someone's done it right. when sailing I coil in a figure-of-eight, either by hand or with one end around a winch.
