Catastrophe Averted

My daughter is vacationing in Los Angeles, so we are catsitting for her. She demanded proof that he was still alive. I guess I am grateful that my wife texted her this pic before I could respond …

Gulliver Hat

I was planning on cutting off one of the cat’s ears and sending it to my daughter as proof. That’s how they do it in the movies!

And yes, that is a beret the cat is wearing.

Wishing for a Hole In One!

Trump USGA

I’ll bet he’s looking forward to another day of women’s golf in his private box! I’m imagining a whole lot of this going on in the Trump suite …

Triple Digit Followers

I have bragged for a long time that my followers were “well into the triple digits.” That was technically true as most of my followers weighed over 100 lbs. However, today I officially have triple digit followers as I have surpassed the 100 mark of actual followers. By the way, do you think there is any correlation between not blogging yesterday and gaining followers? Regardless, no time for introspection when it is time to celebrate. How about a congratulatory handshake?

Ew, that’s not what I had in mind.

Paralysis Analysis

I saw this yesterday …

White House paralyzed

Unfortunately for the White House, the new Trumpcare bill does not cover paralysis.

McConnell’s Unbearable Acts of Kindness

Mitch McConnell has a busy day planned today. He plans to unleash the latest Senate version of Trumpcare onto the unsuspecting American public today. Then he has a variety of other activities planned today like pulling legs off bugs, delivering foreclosure notices to widows, roasting ants with a magnifying glass, pulling scholarships from some area college students, peeing in a public pool, and cutting the ribbon on a new orphanage with workhouse attached, so there’s no daily commute for the kids! How thoughtful! Finally, he plans to meet with representatives from ADAPT, the national group of activists on behalf of people with disabilities. Hey, that last one actually sounds constructive.

Get Twitter Right!

There is a lot of incorrect stuff on Twitter, but this is a mistake that could have easily been avoided through some updating …

Mafia Crime families

That should read “… 5 out of 6 NY crime families: Bonanno, Gambino, Genovese, Colombo and now Trump.”

Fox News Unintentionally Hilarious

Once again, Fox News gets it wrong in a tweet, but in a delightfully hilarious way …

 

Fox News Gitmo

I do believe that Trump officials will be headed to federal prison, not Gitmo.

Vacation Realization

Last week was my vacation week. We hosted friends on the 4th, and then headed out to a lake house for a few days. I came back exhausted. My wife told me that one day I was in the water swimming or on the water in a kayak, canoe or pedal boat for at least 6 hours. Whew! It took me a day to recover from my vacation.

Yesterday, we dropped our little 9 year old daughter off at camp for a week, and were so distraught that we went directly to have a nice lakeside dinner at a resort town. Although I have to work this week, we have made plans for every night while our daughter is away. I don’t have to schedule my pool time around when she and her friends are not splashing in it. I can watch R-rated movies anytime I want on the family room TV. I don’t have to respond to hearing “Dad” 50+ times a night. Is it wrong to feel that this is actually my vacation week?

Orange Thing

The owner of the vacation house we stayed in this past week is a collector of Volkswagen vehicles. We didn’t see all of them, but we did get to see his orange Volkswagen Thing that came over from Germany in the 70’s.

Orange Thing

Although it looked to be in pretty good shape, it made me sad.

Don’t Take My Pane Away

We recently ordered new double pane windows for our house, and my wife advised me that she ordered them with Low-E Argon Gas inside them, and paid a premium price for that. What the what? How will we ever be able to tell? Maybe if the gas was purple, then we could be sure they actually filled them. But a clear gas? However, I am willing to move on from that error in judgement on her part because it gave me an idea that will help mankind and secure a fortune for retirement.

Bearly a Post

While important things are happening world-wide, I continue to idle away on holiday. If I spend another hour in water today, I think I will officially reach saturation point and may have to be wrung dry. The place where we are staying, Bear Cave Lake, is decorated in a rustic, fun way with lots of kitschy, humorous signs. In an effort to log another blog post with virtually no effort, here are some of the funnier signs …

I saw no signs of bears at Bear Cave Lake, but did not venture into the Bear Cave which also appears not to exist. Whatever happened to truth in advertising?
