► News of the Weird: Leaders of the ice-fishing community, aiming for official Olympics recognition as a sport, have begun the process by asking the World Anti-Doping Agency to randomly test its “athletes” for performance-enhancing drugs, according to a February New York Times report. However, said the chairman of the U.S. Freshwater Fishing Association, “We do not test for beer”, because he added, “Everyone would fail.” Ice-fishing is a lonely, frigid endeavor rarely employing strength but mostly requiring guile and strategy, as competitors who discover advantageous spots in the lake must surreptitiously upload the hauls lest competitors rush over to drill their own holes. Urine tests have also been run in recent years on competitors in darts, miniature golf, chess, and tug-of-war, and in 2011, one chess player, two minigolfers and one tugger tested positive.
► Jada died Friday, March 15th. She was just about to turn 13 in people years; which is 91 in dog years. She had been sick for a long time, and deteriorated a lot in her final week. Through all of her life, she struggled to stay right next to Jeanne – never leaving her out of her sight. She was loyal to the end, and a good little doggie.
