He’s on a roll.

While it’s disturbing to realize how many mice we must have scurrying around our outbuildings…
.
.
It’s nice to know His Lordship is doing his part to control the population.
.
.
But his boredom with the dead mice is instantaneous.
.
.
And yours truly is always left to deal with the remains.
.
.
🥴
.
.
I don’t know about you, but I still need a laugh.
.
.
I think that’s where most of us are right now.
.
.
A night out has definitely changed over the last year and a half.
.
.
This is so true it isn’t funny.
.
.
Amen to that.
.
.
That’s been my go to phrase for quite a while. The news gets more depressing every day and the utter lack of respect, not to mention the down right hatred between Americans makes my heart hurt.
.
.
Too true.

Yours truly was born in New Jersey and my late father was Vice President of a Wall Street firm. We spent a lot of time in the city…. and I never ceased to be amazed at the resiliency of New Yorkers.
They adapt and barrel through life with a determination to be admired.
Case in point? The new law stating only dogs who fit in a bag will be allowed on the subway.
New Yorkers heard….
And in true Big Apple fashion, adapted.
.
.
What I love most about these pictures? Even the dogs are New Yorkers.
.
.
Best. Use. Of. L.L. Bean bag. Ever.
.
.
.
.
.
And while all of those dog in bag shots are wonderful?
I think this last one wins the prize.
.
.
🤣

The husband plans on stripping another section of our leaking roof this weekend and wanted me to go on the Home Depot website to check on shingles. As I brought up the site on my phone, Lord Dudley jumped on my lap and screwed up my search.
What he chose was beyond disturbing.
.
.
What the utter Hell?
.
.
I’ve always disliked lawn “art” and garden gnomes are at the top of that list …. but a naked, beer swilling elf named Otto?
I can’t even.
.

We’ve scratched behind goat’s ears at petting zoos.
We’ve bought calendars with goats in trees.
We’ve even done yoga with goats on our backs.
But now….
.
.
Using a goat tote can save a life.

Heifer International.
.

Your donation matches people to livestock all over the world.
.
.
The gift of a goat can lift people out of poverty.
Who knew?

I’m not a fan of Wal Mart, but in my neck of the woods it’s the best and cheapest place to buy the hundreds of pounds of bird seed our greedy avian friends devour.
On this trip I needed milk and bread… which meant I had to traverse the entire store from left front corner to right rear corner because Wal Mart is nothing if not an evil marketer.
.
.
Sandwich meat?
Not today.
.
.
Breadless breading?
No thank you.
.
.
And while I never, ever buy meat at Wally World…
This package of “premium pork steak” ensured I’ll never even be tempted.
🤢
.
.
Advertisers will tell you anything to get you to purchase their products, no matter how ridiculous the claim.
Take this one for example….
.
.
Self cleaning sheets.
Please explain how that’s going to work…. because I’m sure a lot of rent by the hour motels would be interested.
.
.
Hip therapy?
I’m sorry, but that looks more like a leather chastity belt to me.
.

Climate change. One of the most important issues of our time.
Waters are warming, ice caps are shrinking, forests are burning. Hurricanes are more frequent, icebergs are melting, deserts are expanding. The precious ozone layer is being destroyed and temperatures are rising.
We know it, and yet most of us don’t care.
Well now hear this:
It’s beginning to affect the wine. …
.
.
And shit just got real.
.
.
Oh! The horror….
😱
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten falls asleep in some weird positions.
.
.
And sometimes he simply slips out of position defying gravity on the way.
.
.
.
I’m proud to say he eventually fell off and landed on the floor.
Yup.
That’s my boy.
.
.
In a politically divided time where we need to ring a bell between rounds at Thanksgiving dinner ….
With a culture war brewing and being stoked by outside influences…
With an often fatal viral pandemic surging around the globe …
I want you to know that I’m doing my part to make the world a better place.
.
.
I think it’s the very least I can do.
.
River's world.....
