.
Or maybe you can. I’m not judging.
.
.
For someone who doesn’t drink coffee but lives on freshly brewed tea… this is beyond disturbing.
.
.
Another reason I live on the opposite end of the highway from this state.
.
.
No.
You have your Impossible Burger, you have your soy based cheese ….
.
.
For the love of all that’s holy keep your vegan hands off my seafood!
.
.
Well this was disturbing. I’d only been to one out of nine. I must be getting old…
.
.
First, a recent photo of Lord Dudley Mountcatten.
.
.
And now a few cartoons to which all people lucky enough to be owned by a cat can relate.
.
.
I seriously need that couch.
.
.
Lord Dudley prefers to sing at 2:00am, but the same rules apply.
.
.
So true!

The real life outdoor version.
.
.
Because you can’t think of a good enough excuse not to.
.
.
I’ll start and you guess.
1- I am the danger.
2- Valar Morghulis.
3- We were on a break.
4. – I like my money right where I can see it… hanging in my closet
5. – Let’s be careful out there.
6. – Buy land, cause God ain’t making any more of it.
Your turn.
Guess… then give me one of your own.
.

I can’t honestly say I’ve ever wanted to work from home before, but then I saw this:
.
.
Now you’re talking!
.
.
Chief Candy Officer River has a nice ring to it don’t you think?
.
.
Facebook… in its infinite wisdom… has posted yet another list of ridiculous products it thinks I must buy, and this time? They’ve outdone themselves.
.
.
Do I need to remotely drive a pile of poo?
.
.
I most assuredly do not.
Am I ancient enough to require a ladder’s assistance to sit up in bed?
.
.
Not quite yet.
And while a recipe book of quick cook meals does have a certain appeal…
.
.
I doubt I need a potty mouthed granny to deliver them.
.
.
I got excited reading the news the other day.
.
.
An ice dragon!
Wow. I pictured pointing it towards Washington DC and cleaning house.
.
.
I expected this –
.
.
But got this –
.
.
Very disappointing.
( If you didn’t watch Game of Thrones? Never mind… )

The husband disappeared for a few hours yesterday and since him being quiet is usually dangerous, I investigated.
After searching the house, grounds and barn to no avail, I found him in the garage… where he’d pulled out one of our motorcycles.
.
.
It’s a Kawasaki 1500 Vulcan which we used to ride all the time. Or rather, as much as Maine weather would allow. We bought our first bike back in the 90’s when we lived in North Carolina. Much longer riding season there, though I did hate wearing a helmet.
.
.
We’ve had a parade of different bikes over the years, like this custom Harley the husband just had to buy …
.
.
You know, the one that’s currently covered, buried in the back of the garage and collecting cobwebs.
.
.
We’ve enjoyed them all and have toured New England from the mountains to the coast.
.
.
We’ve taken scenic day trips and hit the annual rallies. Down south it was Myrtle Beach, up here it was Laconia.
.
.
Where parking can be a wee bit tight.
.
.
We’ve done countless charity rides and poker runs.
.
.
And supported the Toys for Tots Run every September.
.
.
Hundreds of big bad bikers…
.
.
Coming together to make Christmas morning a little brighter for underprivileged children.

Yes, that’s Senator Angus King. He was Maine’s Governor for years and rode with us quite often.
We’ve loved our bikes and enjoyed riding for decades.
.

But in 2017 my husband had triple bypass surgery and things changed. It’s a dramatic as well as life altering procedure which I don’t recommend. Not one little bit. The recovery was a long emotional roller coaster and though he eventually came through it, physically he wasn’t the same man. He lost a lot of weight, which was good…. but a lot of muscle mass went with it. Motorcycles be heavy. So the bikes were covered and garaged.
Oh, we took them out now and then… but just for short cruises. And in the past 2 years? Nothing. Nada. Not one single ride. To be honest my knee injury makes it uncomfortable, but mostly it’s just getting to be too much. My husband is 75 and I’m fine with him hanging up the leather. Last year I suggested selling the two we have left and buying a sweet little convertible…. but he’s having a hard time letting go.
Aging is hard. And admitting you might have physical limitations for a retired Marine? Even harder. I understand, and don’t push. But when I went out to the garage and found him washing and polishing the Kawi I was hopeful.
.
.
He asked about the registration sticker not being current and said we’d have to renew it if we planned on selling her.
Saying goodbye is a process.
This might be the first step.
.
.
When walking his highness the other day, the little devil dashed right under the cedar tree.
.
.
He’s in there, on the left with his leash twisted around the trunk. The reason for his mad dash?
.
.
Her. That pesky momma red squirrel, chattering loudly, scrambling up and down and driving poor Dudley nuts.
.
.
The walk was forgotten and we spent his entire allotted outdoor time staring straight up.
.
.
She’s such a tease.
.
.
The youth of today. You never know what they’ll think of next. Tide pod ingestion, the cinnamon challenge, butt chugging…. if it’s stupid and dangerous? They’re bound to try it.
(What’s that you say? You’re not familiar with butt chugging? Think anal alcohol enema).
I suppose it shouldn’t surprise me this weird AF generation came up with another one. But damn it, I’m surprised.
.
.
Yes boys and girls, there’s a new cocktail on the bar and you might have the fixings right in your back pocket.
.
.
Color me naive, but I didn’t even know strawberry condoms existed before reading this.
.
.
I don’t know about you, but I can honestly say I’ve never been that desperate for a cocktail.
😳

For months we’ve had a nightly fox visitor for whom I lay out little piles of expensive dry dog food with taurine. ( It was recommended by a vet friend and is the closest I can get to the food U.K. Amazon refuses to ship to the United States) We love seeing him (her?) scoot across the lawn and settle in for a nosh. But last night?
.
.
I was seeing double.
.
.
Two beautiful foxes happily munching.
.
.
Brother and sister? Husband and wife? Friends with benefits? I don’t know…
.
.
But they’re both gorgeous!
