The definition of useless – having no beneficial use or incapable of functioning usefully.
I think that sums up my posts quite well.

Finally, something to do with it other than sitting.

Clearly he wasn’t butt breathing often enough.
.

A Musk robot army?
WTF!
.
.
Oh sure. Nothing to worry about there.
.
.
I hear you Willie. If I have to eat kale and quinoa? I’d rather drop dead right now.
.

The other day my daily viewing stats exploded for no apparent reason.
500 views with no comments made me wonder why.
I mean… let’s be honest, I’m not that interesting.
.
.
Though clearly Patricia thought so.
The fact that she never interacted and liked mostly old posts made me realize she was probably a bot, but it was kind of fun to reread things I hadn’t seen in a while. And since most of us weren’t connected then, please take a walk down memory lane with me and heed my advice about Corpse Revivers.
They’re dangerous.

Another beautiful fall day called for another scenic drive.
.
.
I’m sorry, but autumn in New England is hard to beat.
.
.
The air is crisp and the trees give us a splendid tableau of color.
.
.
It also means the last gasp of yard sales and antique store sales that my husband can’t drive by. This particular shop had auxiliary rooms made out of tractor trailer boxes and were filled with vintage horrors.
.
.
Ack!
😱
.
.
Wow.
Please note the base table of this lamp lights up as well.
.
.
Inside, my husband combed the shelves for treasure but thankfully came out empty handed.
.
.
I’d much rather view foliage.

Statue of Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain at Bowdoin College. Hero of Gettysburg, he taught rhetoric and modern languages as a professor and later served as the college’s president. His home is across the street.
.

Don’t stress, it’s an easy one today.
.
.
I’m beautiful.
And I found this on the Internet so it must be true.
😉
What are you?
.
.
.
In case you can’t see it, this is Maine’s.
.
.
Not too disturbing when drawn, but a bit creepy when experienced in person.
.
.
😳
.
.
I’m right in the middle, which is where I want to be.
.
.
I thought my state would rank higher.
Disappointing, that.
.
.
Looks like I’m not doing enough drinking.
.
.
Electronics seem to win the prize.
.

Mark and Shelly, where do your towns stand on the cow to human scale?
.
.
Don’t laugh. Moose will flat take you out…

These numbers astound me. My husband and I bought our first house, a 3 bedroom 2 bath ranch, for $45,000. Granted that was in 1985 but the income to mortgage ratio was much smaller then. How many young couples starting out today can afford a half a million dollars home? It’s crazy.

Strolling around the property last week , His Lordship spotted an intruder.
.

Lord Dudley is a gentle soul. Mild mannered, sweet and usually quite skittish, but when he spotted the neighbor’s cat Silas?
.
.
Our resident Royal went full blown Jekyll and Hyde and started growling, hissing and screeching.
.
.
He tried to give chase but thankfully his harness did its job and saved me from running for the garden hose and paying a large vet bill.
I doubt Silas will be back after that frosty reception.
.
.
Continuing our walk, I noticed the sedum was thoughtfully color coordinating with the Man Cave/Barn Mahal.
.
.
And some of our backyard trees were putting on an autumn show.
.
.
My two weirdo daisies that only bloom after the first frost were doing their late season thing as well.
.
.
With some very sluggish bees taking final advantage.

On a recent visit to the health care center for my annual physical, the doctor recommended a colonoscopy. I’ve never had one … and not being in any hurry to experience the disgusting prep or the dreaded butt cam itself, I opted for the Cologuard home kit they send in the mail.
Being a bad patient, I promptly stuck it in the closet and forgot about it.
Until today, when I received this.
.
.
Yes.
The Cologuard company wants to pay me $25 for sending in a sample of… 💩
The world is a very strange place indeed.
🤣🤣🤣
.
.
Because if I have to know these things, so do you.
.
.
If that isn’t proof positive you should never trust the internet to diagnose your malady, I don’t know what is.
.
.
Worst. Cave. Name.
Ever.
.
.
Crikey, what now?
.

I’ve got news for you Gen Z, this is not a new phenomenon.
.
.
Even stars get the munchies.
Good to know.
.

Remember, you heard it here first.
Whether you wanted to or not.

It’s been squirrel central at Casa River lately.
Our beef feeder pole is out in the open, and with our resident hawk patrolling the skies we usually only have a single squirrel show up to nosh.
.
.
Seven is a record.
.
.
But after something scared the others away one brave little guy took advantage.
.
.
I know people hate squirrels because they eat the bird seed, but we’re equal opportunity feeders here and all critters are welcome.
.
.
I enjoy watching their gymnastic performances.
.
.
Rats with bushy tails?
.
.
Maybe.
.
.
But they’re still sweeties.
💕.
.
Or be grouchy and don’t.
Which ironically, is the perfect mood for today.
.
.
This is a tough one for me, but I’d have to say number 7 or 9.
If I’m grouchy it’s probably someone else’s fault…and those faces match my looks of utter disdain for the human race pretty well.
How about you?
Pick a grouch.

River's world.....
