Sunday morning, right? It is Sunday morning, I believe, contrary to what our local newspaper's print edition tried pulling yesterday. I can only hope that when I go to check, I don't find the Monday newspaper. Otherwise, I'll be in perpetual chase mode and never catch up.

I figure the only reason a dog would approach trump would be to pee on his leg.

Our local newspaper seems to have gotten its signals crossed. Clocks go ahead one hour tonight, The calendar does not already advance a day.

So let me get this straight. Let me just... let me just walk you through the absolute fucking masterclass in geopolitical incompetence weโ€™ve all just witnessed over the last seven days. Because I genuinely need someone to explain this to me like Iโ€™m five years old, because surely,

You want to know what kind of people are running the United States military right now? Let me tell you a little story about a ship called the IRIS Dena.

On March 4th, a US submarine fired a single Mark 48 torpedo

I have it on good authority that Cuba will accept Rubio if the US lifts its embargo. ("Good authority" is code for "I just made this shit up.")

I only ever used to wake up to infomercials. At least those folks were fake cheery.

If there were a second coming, guaranteed his indignation would be through the roof upon learning his name wasn't on the "Rapture Manifest."

"*What if* the Mullahs are smarter than Trump"??? Is that even a question? Kristi Noem's puppy would have been smarter than trump as would RFK Jr.'s brain worm.

I believe the message was, "hey! You forgot to scoop the litter yesterday." With 4 and 1/2 cats, that's important. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Yesterday I reported on the installation of a new utility pole. I figured what they did was planted pole beans. Just look! The new is to the left. Sadly, they weren't magic pole bean seeds else I'd be stomping around up in the clouds dodging a giant and looking for treasure.

I figured maybe it was the critter's way of saying, "well, shit! You're not gonna let me out, so..."

Some lessons you just gotta learn the hard way. Today I learned that yelling, "I'M JUST COOKING!" will NOT shut off a smoke detector. I'm betting though that I won't get an "I could've told you that!" in a reply.

Thank you, Maria. I'll try your suggestions. I wondered if it might have to do with the youngest not being spayed and being in season.

This is your daily reminder that if you have to ask how much it costs to own your very own US Senator, you cannot afford your very own US Senator. The same applies to other elected officials. (It has been suggested that people try to "buy local," but that doesn't always work.)

Good morning to all who did NOT have a cat take a shit on the dining room table. ๐Ÿ˜

It's a misunderstanding. trump is "an annoying one," not "the anointed one."

I would appreciate it if you would go beyond Good and Pretti when naming victims of ICE and CPB excesses.

We now have a new utility pole in front of the house, so I don't feel quite so left out. On a side note, the coffeemaker has decided to exist 20 minutes into the future ever since the power came back on.

Well, let's see. Major airlines don't seem to be flying, Kegsbreath likes to blow up boats, so I guess automobiles, camel caravans, or afoot?

It's the Charlie Brown's Halloween of utility pole replacement!
Neighbor 1: "I got a new utility pole!'
Neighbor 2: "so did I!"
Neighbor 3: "so did I!'
Me: I got a hole."

Wait! I thought it was Armageddon! Geez! I sure hope Ye Olde House of Doom will let me swap Armageddon-themed stuff for apocalyptic decorations. (I so planned to hold a Doomsday Party.)

I thought you might like to know that my kitten, Scooter, enjoys The Twilight Zone. Admittedly, it's mostly the intro... ๐Ÿ˜€

Thanks to the lunar eclipse, there wasn't even light enough to view the cloud cover overhead. ๐Ÿ˜€
