Patches was jealous of Scout’s moment in the sun yesterday, so today she gets to be the star. I call this one, “Too Lazy for Words.”

Image result for desperate choice

Sometimes I come across an article or a story that doesn’t leave me alone. People I don’t know -and never will know- are all of a sudden on my mind for days.

I wish I could make people sit down and listen to this. I am not sure if it would do any good, it seems you can’t reach people on the other side anymore.

Patches and I were sitting out on the back porch when she asked to have her picture taken. I call this, “‘Meow’ Means I’m Beautiful in Catonese.”

Political Potpourri

Picture if you will a pot simmering on a cast iron stove, filled with various fragrant blossoms each of which is a political occurrence. They’re all different, but they all smell…nice? That’s what I’ve made for breakfast, ingredients via mainstream news (aka fake news), and predictions on Twitter by those who seem to be in the know. This fog of pollen in the Washington air seems to be the result of Donald Trump’s unpopular decision to fire FBI director James Comey. He kicked the beehivewith that clumsy move.
Today’s blooms:

  • A frenzy of activity in Virginia: FBI agents obtaining dozens of warrants, multiple US Marshals and their vans frantically doing official looking things. (I’m not a reporter.)

I took this photo awhile back. My neighbor, Linda, and I, along with her cousin, drove to Apalachicola one Sunday for an arts show. It was a great time, but I uploaded the photos to my cloud account and promptly forgot about them. I call this one, “Beautiful Linda, Better Late Than Never!”

This one was taken today at the mall food court. I’ve titled it, “Willpower Suffers in the Face of a Chewy Pecan Supreme Cookie.” I was going to take a picture of the cookie, but it disappeared. Like magic.

Today is Another Good Day Not to be Donald Trump

Common sense tells you- when you can’t take the heat in kitchen, you throw out the microwave…because it’s surveilling you.

09 May, 2017, Donald Trump fires FBI director James Comey, who is actively investigating Trump’s financial ties to Russia.

Does this firing make my ass look guilty? No the treason makes your ass look guilty.


Also on 09 May, President Donald Trump sends a certified letter to Sen. Lindsey Graham attesting that the president has no connections to Russia…Since it’s a certified letter, can we stop the investigation?

Richard Nixon was brought down by the coverup of a crime, not the crime.


As I’ve said, regardless of the size of his clown shoes, Trump is following in Nixon’s footsteps.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says firing of James Comey is a “strictly domestic affair” that will not affect the US-Russia relationship. Hmm…
Today Trump himself is due to meet Russian…
