At least it had the decency to stay off my greens...
...nothing worse than putting through snow.
Well, ok...
...I admit that is, in fact, worse.
I don't like snow, but at least it won't eat me.

Karen usually prepares a big meal for us, but we're ordering out this year...
...same as we did back in 2017 when we were still settling in after our move here.
It was great food then and I'm sure it will be the same this year, but our reasons are different.
That year we didn't have a functioning kitchen yet; it was still under construction.
This year Karen just doesn't feel up to it: her beloved pet, Smokey...
...was attacked and mauled to death by 2 huskies running loose in our neighborhood.
Karen very bravely tried to fight them off, and when I heard her screaming I ran to the backyard and kicked the dogs repeatedly until they finally ran away.
But the damage was done, and poor Smokey met his gruesome end.
As you can well imagine, Karen is both traumatized and grief stricken, so I suggested we de-stress the holiday and let Bob Evans handle the meal prep, and she agreed.
And yes, we've contacted Animal Control and they're dealing with the owners and their dogs.
More to come, I'm sure.
"Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now...c'mon baby, do the Loco-Motion..."
Well move over Little Eva, there's a new kid in town:
The Trump Dance!
Based on The Donald not exactly shaking his booty -
- more like standing in place while he pumps his arms a little - it's fair to say The Trump Dance is now a <global phenomenon>...at least in those part of the world that haven't outlawed men in favor of soy boys yet.
Football, soccer, UFC, wrestling...athletes are celebrating victories with The Trump Dance.
And of course the liberal media is in full on pearl clutching mode...
...suddenly so very concerned about the message being sent by sports icons to their impressionable fans.
The message?
We won big; you got crushed. Get over it.
Like every fad, this one will die out over time.
But for now, it's Trump's world and the rest of us are just livin' in it.
O how I wish I could assault your senses with another HGU, but sadly I have nothing to report.
That's never stopped me in the past, however...
...so <enjoy this video> about the upcoming 2025 US Hickory Open to be held in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Don't say I never did nuthin' for ya.
Time to grit your teeth and prove your mettle by enduring another 23 Skidoo:
 |
| a doe outside Larry's blind; apparently she's not woke enough to identify as a buck, so she lives to see another day |
 |
| as the saying goes, friends welcome anytime, relatives by appointment only |
 |
| for no particular reason other than I like it...my dear Aunt Velma and her beloved hound Belvedere |
 |
| that fall motif covering was gracing our ottoman just seconds before this "caught in the act" picture of Loki was taken |
 |
| Karen finds whiskey particularly effective |
 |
| a thorough house cleaning is just around the corner |
Less than a week from now we'll be enjoying the Thanksgiving holiday, hopefully with loved ones and those we hold dear.
Whether your life is sunshine and roses right now or you're slogging through challenging times, remember this truth from God's Word:
later, mcm fans...
