Friday Cafe

Heat Wave, Hong Kong, China, by Calvin Fu

Samson the dog gets shorn.

German shepherd is bothered by kittens taking over his dog bed.

More singing for animals.

What Taylor Swift sounds like to non-fans. To be honest, I'm pretty sure this is Taylor Swift.

The Icelandic Snow-Chicken. Or something, I don't know birds.

Bears are now going out of control even as babies.

"RFKJr." (Kyle Dunnigan) on Kill Tony.

"Bill Maher" (also Kyle Dunnigan) on Kill Tony.

Bird has his own casita.

Teaching husky puppies to carry on like mental patients.

Fostering a Marmaduke-sized Great Dane.

It's Friday.

I will have to listen to the Swiftie thing later as fixin' to have dinner. Our newest DIL, a decade younger than son, is a fan. I love her otherwise, but whoa. The rest of us don't say anything.

Thankful it is Friday altho we have a dinner tomorrow. Low key. Ribs for grandson's birthday. I will wait til tomorrow to dust and act like I am normal.

Have a great weekend Ace and all. Y'all somehow keep me sane. Which is either good or scary.

Cats are good for detecting sounds, so if they don't trip and start looking things are probably cool.

Found a baby lizard in my cat's water bowl this morning, not sure which of my hunters did that. Poor cute little thing.

But Alan Bean knew what it was, and flipped the breaker to AUX. The crew laughed their ass off all the way into orbit, because it was just too damn weird.

That's one of my favorite places. First time there was 1979 and I came very close to moving there.

Been back many times. It started as a very casual place with a bunch of shacks and a bar and now it's pretty posh but still a nice place.

Don't know if I'd advise anyone to pay money for one of the litter, though.

118 That's one of my favorite places. First time there was 1979 and I came very close to moving there.

Been back many times. It started as a very casual place with a bunch of shacks and a bar and now it's pretty posh but still a nice place.

It's a pretty regular stop for charter boats in the BVI.

Yea, me neither. I like a lot of different rums but Pusser's is pretty low on my list.

I do miss the BVI.

No pet, absolutely none, will cost you more money in the long run to domesticate than a beaver.

History Books are full of the evidence. The Greeks wrote at least one damn good Opus about it.

The Story of Man is, in no small part, the waste of time and treasure trying to tame or tempt the Beaver.

Bringing your own contribution in booze is probably the best way to support the open bar.

I don't drink, but I always bring a couple of cases of soda as well as several cases of water (we go through A LOT of water!).

I like cinnamon in coffee quite a bit. 99.999% of the coffee I drink is black straight from the pot to my gullet. But if I get anything froofroo it's cinnamon added. A really good flavor combo.
