If Dog’s Could Speak

I read a funny post on Knuckledraggin that said if a dog could speak, it's first words would be "Dude, You gonna eat that?" No kidding. Homey's new lid That lampshade is what hit the back of my legs as I took out the trash tonight. Tomorrow trash day is when I clear out the … Continue reading If Dog’s Could Speak →

Happy Birthday!

It was the crazy girl, Aria's, birthday yesterday. The girl, as a pup in the shelter She's four, if memory serves, and has become a super sweet lady. Well, at least to most. She's very protective, and a total daddy's girl. She'll snarl at anyone or anything the comes close to me. She has been … Continue reading Happy Birthday! →

Called It

Biden came on the tube and declared everyone is out. At least everyone that wanted to come. What did I say? Right on cue, the narrative is starting. We got everyone out. They were all told with plenty of notice, and anyway they are dual citizens and wanted to stay. Sure. That's the hymn they'll … Continue reading Called It →

You don’t see that every day…

Not around here anyway. The other day, I wound up behind one of these: From Right to left: a "Vote Blue" sticker, a "Joe Biden" sticker, and the one you can't really read - a "resistance" sticker. Got to be a transplant. The hardcore nuts around here usually festoon their cars with bumper stickers. They'll … Continue reading You don’t see that every day… →

Useless

I was doing something in the kitchen, and the screen for my apple watch clattered across the floor. Busted. Again. This will be the third screen this watch has had. I think I'm done. A done tom turkey. I plugged it back in, and it didn't work. Although, it seems to be working now. I … Continue reading Useless →

A tragic loss, and Jasper update

Kenny over at Knuckledraggin lost another dog. Lucy was old and not well. Doesn't matter. Just because you know something like this is coming, it doesn't make the pain any less severe. Not long ago he lost Charlie. Both times his loss hit me in the guts. It got real dusty in here reading about … Continue reading A tragic loss, and Jasper update →

Words Fail…

It's been a hell of a week for the Biden administration. Or let me back up, the Grima Wormtongue that's actually running things. As usual others have said it better than me. Nearly anyone on my blog roll to the right has better analysis of things. I tend to like Adaptive Curmudgeon, Bayou Renaissance Man, … Continue reading Words Fail… →

Sunday Music

https://youtu.be/YT_63UntRJE?t=773 OK, Screw it if I've posted this before. The second movement of Mozart's Clarinet Concerto in A will rip your soul out and take it for a ride. Especially if the soloist is a woman that is very, very close looking to your daughter, who you've heard play this piece a few hundred times.

What a Week

With all the activity last week, I didn't have time to write down probably one of the craziest things that is happened since I've lived here. Last week I had jury duty. And as such I blew off the day. I have an astonishing amount of vacation still left to burn. What happened is, when … Continue reading What a Week →

Jasper Update

Last night wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. After closing the computer down, I took off the boy's lampshade and laid down with him on the couch. He had a good two hours sleep, until he had enough and went into his crate. So I had to re-install his lampshade. He slept … Continue reading Jasper Update →
