I'd rather have a lawn full of mint than grass. A grass lawn is a waste of space.

A Mark of Shame for 900 Years. Until Now?

“Felon” carries an ancient stigma — one that falls on millions of Americans today. Trump might well redefine it.

My puppy has turned into a dog. She is independent and happy. But she isn't cuddly anymore. Maybe when she is done being a teenager dog she will get cuddly again.

Time to sleep, lots to do tomorrow.

My wife, as close to teetotaler as you can get, makes a pretty good faux mojito. She substitutes ginger beer for the rum. I'll have to talk her into making a slow-faux mojito.

Just finished de-molding the bathroom ceiling. My arms aches like a sonnofabish and I will sleep well tonite. Tomorrow I have to do the balcony and get the big vacuum cleaner out. House inspection next week!

Make sure to neaten up your gympie-gympie garden, and rake up around the huntsman spider nests. Neatness counts!

On a humid night, in a precarious time, perhaps you need to see an octopus dreaming.

My favorite song to sing in my head, and keep me sane, well aside from politics.

Be well, all. See ya' tomorrow.

That is QANON code for 'burn down a church and blame blah gangbangers'. It's when they start doing Wagner that shit gets real.
