No food or other cravings—just joy, pure sensual joy!
Gerard, I notice that you’re working hard too, by posting all this fun stuff. You’re giving us a great selection of stuff to seriously think about without posting gloom & doom, or pointless rants as well.
Your efforts are noted, and appreciated. Keep it up. AD is the best site on the web, bar none.

Ditto, ditto, ditto @jwm.
I can almost remember the smell of a giant leaf pile, fun.
Out here in the great Northwet, once the leaves start falling, the rains have already come. You can’t get a pile that sounds like that.
This video is definitely going to be queued up and waiting for my kids when they come down for breakfast tomorrow.
Don’t click the links directly above. Spammer. [Fixed. Thanks.]
Yes I can smell that pile. Even more, I still smell the piles of leaves being burnt every Fall. Anybody remember that? You’d see piles maybe five times as the one in the video, in gutters and alleys all over town, beyond dry, set alight with a match and tended by a kid with a rake. It’s what football season smelled like, and Halloween.
That fellow better be careful never to rake leaves around anything solid…
I am a nature person and value all life. As a “Ju-Bu” I bow to all life forms and my fellow humans!!! May you be alive and thrive for eternal eons!!!! I send my love and best wishes to all for wonderful happy lives!!!!!! Peace, Donna Estess
Wonderful happy creature with a most eloquent tail.
I envy her owners, but people who put costumes on dogs should be neutered. Publicly.
In honor of Miss Olive: a reminder that teh kittehs (singly or in pairs) enjoy jumping in and around autumn leaves as much as dogs do; also playing with windblown leaves. The black cats might be Miss Olive’s cousins– but I doubt there are enough leaves in Chico for Gerard to make a proper leaf pile for his Editor.

How could anyone watch that and NOT spend the rest of the day (or week) with a huge smile on their face, and a lightened heart?
Awesome stuff, Vanderleun. Just another reason to love this website.
Totally ridiculous doggy fun. Why can’t we all be more like Stella?
Who’s the good girl? Someone had to say it.
Your decision to give us a little bit of joy and beauty every day is helping to ease the terrible pain we are all feeling. It helps to ease the rage. Thank you!
Agree, life is for fun stuff’. While I’m watch this family dog, I’m listening to Ten Years After, ” 1970 Live at Fillmore East” . Thru stacked Klipsch Cornwalls. Trying hard to,wash these BS politics from my head.
Keep the fun stuff coming please.

Better than Disney and cheaper, after that a fire and hotdogs for everyone including Stella. Joy is to be taken whenever and wherever. Ghostsniper, a comment please.
