VOLUME 159


OUR PRECIOUS LITTLE TREVY PASSED THIS PAST SUNDAY. VERY SAD IN OUR HOUSE RIGHT NOW.
In 2021 we lost our second Schnauzer to old age. The first one died several years before with diabetes. Our Schnauzers went everywhere with us, on all of our road trips all over the western US. Schnauzers are great traveling companions. We decided we were not going to get another dog, so we could be free to travel without having to have the added responsibility.
In the spring of 2024, our dog groomer called and said she knew a couple in Palm Springs that needed to re-home their Wire Fox Terrier, a retired show dog. She asked if we would be interested. We would have to pay for his air fare to Oregon. They sent us pictures of Trevor and we were hooked. He was six years old when he came to live with us, full of life and mischief. We immediately fell in love with his quirky personality.
A few months ago, we noticed something was going on with his health. The vet looked him over, took some blood tests and diagnosed him with Cushing’s disease. Gave him one to three years to live. Well, he didn’t make it that far, we had to put him down on Sunday. Wow, I couldn’t believe how hard that was. It is going to be a long time before I get over that little guy greeting me for breakfast every morning. Sharing my cookie when I enjoy my evening coffee. Those little creatures fill your heart with joy, then break it when they depart this earth.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS?
Where the hell are all of these strange looking and acting people coming from? I am 85 years old and I have seen more freaks in the last eight years than I have over the span of my entire lifetime. Not only do they look freaky, but they also say and do really freaky things. They don’t seem to have any concept of respect for others, especially your personal space. They have no respect for your opinions, if you don’t agree with them watch out, they start getting dangerous. They are like little spoiled brat children in adult bodies, a combination that can be unpleasant quickly.
Recently a grown in his man in his forties decided he was a woman and took on the appearance. First, let’s establish the fact this man is bonkers, it’s pretty rare even in these times for a forty year old man to just up and decide he’s going to be a woman. (Caitlin Jenner aside). Supposedly, a 10 year old boy, who was mentally handicapped mis-gendered this fool and the transwoman beat him to death.
I dropped by my local supermarket to pick up a few things a couple of days ago. I was astounded by the strange looking folks sharing the aisles. If they aren’t physically strange looking, they have crazy colored hair, tattoos, piercings, and really weird clothing. That doesn’t take into account numerous young pasty white girls barely dressed. Fifteen feet away from her is a Latino woman with skin tight knit pants and top leaving absolutely nothing to the imagination and everything jiggles when she walks like a water balloon. Virtually all women under the age of 25 are sporting at least $50 worth of make up so heavy it looks like a mask. Eyelashes over 1/2″ long, and showing as much cleavage as possible. They look like hookers fresh off the Sunset Strip.
We have reached the point now, where normally dressed folks, with natural colored hair and few or no tattoos at all, are the odd ones. People turn and watch them walk by wondering what kind of weirdo are they? Likely thinking they just saw a serial killer.
Dear friends, I am going to sign off and take care of a few other things before I retire for the evening. I think I have found the key to longevity. Schedule so many tasks it’s virtually impossible to do them all. But for heaven’s sake, don’t let your spouse see the list, that way you can quietly destroy it and no one will ever know. I fired my lawn guy, I thought he was lazy. He would buzz in and out in about 30 minutes. I thought what the hell, I can do that and save $150.00 a month. Dang, what he did in 30 minutes takes me most of the day. Another one of my spectacular executive decisions.
In keeping with my strange people watch, I think I will touch on the Democrat political candidates in my next blog. I saw a meme a few days ago that said while the Democrats were hyper focused on Donald Trump the socialists and other miscellaneous miscreants stole their party. But Chuckie boy says well that’s OK, the Democrats are a “big tent” party. So is Barnum and Bailey with very similar characters.
God bless all of you, stay safe, stay free. Boycott Muslim owned business, but you have to consider you have to be willing to do without 7-11 and most independent gas stations. Other than that, you should be OK.
