Litha
Today at 5:07AM [CDT] is the Summer Solstice, technically considered the “first day of Summer”, but the mid Summer by much of Europe.
Many Wiccans celebrate the day as Litha, while computer programmers honor their predecessors, the druids, who built the first solid-state computing devices, the megaliths, like Stonehenge.
The Slavs celebrate St. John’s Night, Иван Купала [Ivan Kupala], the battle between the White god [Белобог – Belobog] and the Black god [Чёрнобог – Chyornobog] for control of the Sun. The Black god always wins and the night begins to expand.
The sound track to the battle is Иванова Ночь на Лысой Горе [Night on Bald Mountain ] by Модест Петрович Мусоргский [Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky], which everyone should play very loudly.

Here is my contribution! An awesome tiny Donkey named (somewhat appropriately) Tiny Tim survived against the odd’s and has an awesome YouTube channel!
I WANT ONE!!
Now that I’ve seen this smart little guy, I’ll never call Dotard a Donkey again! It would be a huge insult to Tiny Tim!
Tiny Tim The Donkey
This is the ONLY YT channel I have subscribed to! 😆
He’s about the size of a St Bernard. I hope he’s house broken 😉
He does appear to be smart and mostly follows orders.
He is house trained. Apparently, he thinks he’s a dog. He goes out to *pee pee* with the dog’s. He likes to play & the owners said he is easily trained, so pretty smart. Even loves going to the vet and give’s he a *hug*! 😆 Maybe he knows she saved his life. Who knows. 😀
Hmmm! For some reason, the original vid isn’t on The Dodo’s website, only their Twitter page. It’s worth watching. 😀
Tiny Donkey Is Pretty Sure He’s Actually A Dog
He would be an “illegal alien” in my town. 😈
Or, if he was a goat, he’d be … uhm, nevermind. What happens in Mossy Head stays in Mossy Head. 🙂
Let’s keep it “civil”, Badtux 😉
