He really needs to stop going to the dump.

.

My husband had to take a few things to the dump recently, and you know what happens when he does that.

Our “dump” is more of a recycling center… complete with a gift shop where everything is free, and there in lies the problem.

.

.

He came home with a table and chairs.

.

.

Do we need a table and chairs from the dump?

We do not.

.

.

But my husband couldn’t resist bringing it home and fixing it up to sell.

.

.

He cleaned, he polished, he tightened, he glued.

.

.

I told him to recover the horrible (plastic? vinyl?) seats but that was a bridge too far.

.

.

So now there’s a table and chair set clogging up the man cave/Barn Mahal.

.

.

Sigh…

🥴

.

News you can’t use.

.

Join me for another session of news no one needs.

.

.

Take a look around.

Do you blame it?

.

.

It’s Fred Flintstone, Barney Rubble and their calloused bare feet…right?

.

.

Oh goodie, another rogue robot who wants to wipe us off the face of the planet.

.

.

I’m so glad we keep building these.

.

.

What… it’s not cheese?

.

.

Well that is disappointing.

.

.

What the utter f**k?

.

.

Kardashians.

Why am I not surprised?

.

Critters

.

The temperatures are dropping in Maine and our backyard visitors are feeling it.

.

.

They’re also probably feeling like they’re being watched…

.

.

Because they are.

Quite regularly.

.

.

I saw this and thought, damn. Our raccoons are total slackers.

.

.

Seriously, all ours do is eat and poo… and occasionally knock over the bird bath.

.

.

We don’t have kids, so I’d better get to work on our trash pandas.

.

.

Sunrise…

With cat.

.

.

Squirrel, defying gravity.

.

.

Yes, you.

.

.

Our one little opossum, who only shows up at night.

.

Let’s play.

.

You may have to think, but hopefully that won’t hurt.

.

.

A friend of mine just saw Stevie Nicks in concert at TD Garden in Boston. 77 years old and from the videos she showed me, Stevie still brings it.

Older, yes. Slower, no doubt. But the spirit is still strong.

.

.

My goosebumps song is Crystal .

And thanks to WordPress’s annoying new feature of not being able to embed videos, here’s a link.

If you like Stevie, what song does it for you?

.

What I’m watching.

.

My husband falls asleep during every episode…

.

.

But I never miss a Ken Burns documentary. And while this one is epic in many ways, I have to admit there are a few too many battle sequences and not enough gripping personal stories to keep viewers riveted. His Civil War masterpiece set the bar very high.

.

.

There was so much buzz about this movie I had to watch. Unfortunately that was two hours of my life I’ll never get back.

It was horrible. Hard pass.

And just when I thought that was the worst movie I could find…

.

.

Holy hell.

I read the buzz about this being a treatise on beauty and the fight against aging so I was not expecting the stupidest, most ridiculous, literally laughable turn this one took. Hollywood really has lost its mind.

Thankfully some of my favorite series have returned to save the day.

.

.

The Mayor has his hands full this season with a brother on the wrong side of the bars and a crooked warden running the prison. This show is raw, violent and often times hard to watch… but I’m here for it.

.

.

The Morning Show has been a consistently superior program and this season does not disappoint. Well cast, well acted…. there’s never a dull moment.

.

.

Landman rocks. I never thought I would be the least bit interested in the down and dirty world of oil production but this powerhouse show makes you sit up and pay attention. Season one was amazing, but this year they added Sam Elliot and Andy Garcia.

Need I say more?

.

.

Never having been a Stallone fan, I was surprised how much I liked Tulsa King when it first started. But I have to admit the new season is leaving me a bit cold. I can’t really explain why, it just seems a little off and rapidly approaching campy.

.

.

My husband stumbled on this sweet, feel good movie the other day. Based on a true story, if you’re an animal lover?

You’ll smile… and cry. I guarantee it.

.

Random

.

If you’re a squirrel on our property, you may feel like you’re being watched.

And if it’s not me with a camera?

It’s His Lordship.

.

.

Who keeps a close eye on the visitors.

.

.

May it rest in peace.

I loved MTV back in the day and spent many happy hours singing along with videos as I ironed my husband’s Marine Corps uniforms.

The end of an era, that.

.

.

I always know when the bird feeders are running low.

.

.

The avian protesters are noisy.

.

.

Yes.

That’s why I do it.

.

.

Husband photographing a sunrise.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten wondering why.

.

.

Damn it.

Now I’m going to have start counting corn.

.

News you can’t use.

.

Because there’s always room for a little more crazy.

.

.

Well that can’t be good.

.

.

I try not to post poo related headlines, but some of them simply can’t be ignored.

This particular bathroom hack? Blow bubbles while on the throne.

.

.

You heard it here first.

.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten feels the same way.

.

.

When AI reaches the singularity, I doubt it will care.

.

.

Sorry Texas.

You had a good run.

.

.

The man had a micro penis.

That explains everything.
