C-Word Connections
I don’t mind confessing that my favorite thing about colder weather is not having to walk the dogs at the crack of dawn.
Sonora Dog Goes RV-Shopping
The Wienermobile was in town yesterday, so we took Mister B to see it.
Curse of the Fly
Our mail-in ballots arrived yesterday afternoon. I filled mine out this morning.
Friday Bag o’ Happiness
You’re an educated person, dear reader, and I didn’t mean to insult you. I’m talking to people like Donald Trump of Mar-a-Lago, Governor Rick Scott in Florida, and Secretary of State Brian Kemp in Georgia, all of whom are abusing the powers of the offices they hold to claim the normal counting of ballots is voter fraud, and to stop the count while the vote is going their way.
