Bear attack survivor speaks out

This is a little long, but very interesting.  This man is very lucky to be alive.

Man builds snow racetrack for depressed rescue dog

She sure isn’t depressed now.

Unusual dog is a delight.

Darling fellow.

Getting the scoop (on the poop)

I am not as beside myself as yesterday.

Usually, after waiting 24 hours, I can work out a game plan.

So here’s what I’m going to do.

Tomorrow I will contact an exterminator.  I want to see who those poops belong to.  After looking at them a little more closely today, I have my doubts about them being mouse droppings.  Not to gross you out, but they seem to be the wrong shape .  I am wondering if they are chipmunk droppings, so I want a professional consultation.  I know  they are not rat droppings, or rabbit droppings, so we can leave it to the pro.

After identifying the culprit he can let me know what the cost will be and I will discuss it with my landlord.

That ought to be fun.

Had to pick up my prescription today, and the skies looked like they were about to open up, but I dodged that bullet, too.

I will keep you posted.  (I have such an exciting life, don’t I?)

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

Patty    (I know it’s not this guy’s droppings).

Some very interesting photos

Pretty good day, all in all

Today was pretty good.  The lovely weather is continuing, and I was able to set up a couple of things that I’ve wanted to do for a long time for tomorrow.

I feel like the inertia that has been bothering me has diminished.

So tomorrow should be good, too.

On that note I will close.

See you tomorrow.

Have a good night, all.

God bless everybody.

Two Hot Flashes from Byron the Quokka! REPRINT

See the source image

The comment contest is no longer active, but I had to post this lovely picture of Byron.   PD

From September 12, 2020

I don’t know who wrote that “hot flashes” headline! It should have been “hot news flashes! It should also have been three hot news flashes.

First, there are only 146 comments to go, to reach 65,000 and have a winner in our current comment contest. And this time the grand prize (there he goes again–there’s only one prize) will either be an autographed copy of His Mercy Endureth Forever (first edition, collectors’ item, etc.) or an autographed fli-back paddle ball toy.

Second, I don’t know how, but suddenly that annoying “301 error” message has disappeared from our Facebook posts on Patty’s Facebook page. We’re glad to see it go.

Third–now what was it?–oh, yeah! Quokka University will offer a course on how to read this blog. This is because we’re afraid people are missing special features like Joe Collidge and Oy, Rodney by not backing up a day or two and reading them. You don’t have to read them on the same day they were posted. We’ll also go into the wonderful treasure-trove of the blog archives, going all the way back to late 2011. Do you realize there are literally thousands of blog posts you could read? I’d never do it myself, but it’s all there if you want it.

To attend Quokka University, all you have to do is come to Rottnest Island. There is a rumor that if you close your eyes, click your heels together three times, and bellow out our Latin motto, “Ipso loquitur mannimota,” you will be instantly transported to our campus. I can’t test that because I’m already here. If you can make it work, please let us know! Make sure you tell us where you get transported to.
