Don't you know pugs are not waterproof? The look on the pug's face is priceless :) This is the exact moment he decided to write his union rep and complain about the cruel and inhumane treatment he's been subjected too :)

Stocks are devices used internationally, in medieval, Renaissance and colonial American times as a form of physical punishment involving public humiliation. The stocks partially immobilized its victims and they were often exposed in a public place such as the site of a market to the scorn of those who passed by.
The stocks are similar to the pillory and the pranger, as each consists of large, hinged, wooden boards; the difference, however, is that when a person is placed in the stocks, their feet are locked in place, and sometimes as well their hands or head, or these may be chained.
With stocks, boards are placed around the ankles and the wrists in some cases, whereas in the pillory they are placed around the arms and neck and fixed to a pole, and the victim stands. However, the terms can be confused, and many people refer to the pillory as the stocks.
Since stocks served an outdoor public form of punishment its victims were subjected to the daily and nightly weather. As a consequence it was not uncommon for people kept in stocks over several days to die from exposure.[citation needed]
The practice of using stocks continues to be cited as an example of torture, cruel and unusual punishment. Insulting, kicking, tickling, spitting and in some cases urinating and defecating on its victims could be applied at the free will of any of those present. The hapless feet were also taken advantage of by such savage cruelties as inserting burning materials between the toes or by such nuisances as carefully rubbing feces all over the feet and hair.
One of the earliest reference to the stocks in literature appears in the Bible. Paul and Silas, disciples of Jesus, were arrested. Their treatment by their jailer was detailed in the Book of Acts: "Having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks." The Old Testament's book of Job also describes the stocks, referring to God: "He puts my feet in the stocks, he watches all my paths."
The stocks were also popular among civil authorities from medieval to early modern times, and have also been used as punishment for military deserters or for dereliction of military duty. In the stocks, an offender's hands and head, or sometimes their ankles, would be placed and locked through two or three holes in the center of a board. Offenders were forced to carry out their punishments in the rain, during the heat of summer, or in freezing weather, and generally would receive only bread and water, plus anything brought by their friends.
The stocks were popular during the Colonial days in America. Public punishment in the stocks was a common occurrence from around 1500 until at least 1748. The stocks were especially popular among the early American Puritans, who frequently employed the stocks for punishing the "lower class."
In the American colonies, the stocks were also used, not only for punishment, but as a means of restraining individuals awaiting trial.

It is sad when old people lose it and they are alone. Social Services dont know about them or cant be bothered or even in some cases these people dont want to be helped. As much as the nets are out there to catch such people when they fall into a state of vulnerability. This old lady goes about her regular chores as regular as clockwork, another sign that something isn't quite right. She wont accept help and becomes very nasty when people do try to help. This is where the system fails because even when they are beyond the point of helping themselves and rude to the point of scaring people away from trying to help, they slip through the net. Eventually they vanish and people find their body months after they have died in a decomposed state and then questions are asked why didnt we help?
Never really liked my feet - so now I'll humiliate them by putting them naked on the net.... and spice it all up by giving them a description in Nadsat...

Legend has it that one must say "Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit" first thing, at the beginning of the month, in order to ensure having Luck for the rest of the month. If you're interested in reading more about this tradition, here's a site full of all sorts of variations: www.dendritics.com/scales/white-rabbits.asp

According to the back of the photo, this picture of humiliated children is from " "I Love A Rabbit," Vet's Bldg. Linwood & Paseo" (wherever that may be - Kansas City, I think), and it was taken during the Summer of 1951.
With recent surprised news that Ukraine arm forces have successfully pushed back Russian invaders and regained thousands of squared km of occupied lands including the strategic raiway city or hub, Izium, it's a humiliation defeat for Putin and his poor battlefield planners. The Ukraine forces have tricked the invaders with the southern campaign at Kherson to divert Russian forces to the South and left the North invaded forces with lesser ammos and fewer defending units, more vulnerable to attack. And it happened. Kudos to the Ukraine's strategic battlefield thinkers, of course not without the intelligence and weapons help from the West.
With news Russia has picked up weapons from N.Korea and Iran suggesting they're running out of all sorts of ammo and struggling when many of their weapons depots being targetted and destroyed by the precision long range artillery provided by the West. It looks like Russia is at a critical point to either pull out and claim partial victory of "teaching Ukraine a lesson" or stay to facing tougher battles during upcoming cold winter months. It would be very bad and potentially history-reversal embarrassment for Russians to suffer the same defeat in winter on Ukraine soil just like how the Germans have been trapped and surrendered in Russia west during winter of WWII invasion.
Hope exists that Russia would retreat out of Ukraine before the winter set in. If that happens, the world will be in better place, and peace to return once again to the Ukrainians, and lesser casualties on both sides, or lesser suffering for many families on both lands. Because this is a barbaric and unwanted war at best, for both Ukrainians and Russians.
Let's crossing fingers!

As I was pursuing the Cinnamon Teal, out of the corner of my eye I caught a Red-tailed Hawk over Mbrook Marsh. Without time to adjust my manual set up, I swung the camera up and hoped for the best. Only when I got home did I discover that it was our old friend Ready Eddie (Re'ddy) being harassed as he has been so many times over the years by Red-winged Blackbirds. I first photographed this phenomenon in this area back on March 24, 2016! That series begins here:
