Duh!

Dumb as a box of Rocks A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE KIND OF REPRESENTATION WE HAVE IN CONGRESS, TRUE STORY:

A noted psychiatrist was a guest speaker at an academic function where Nancy Pelosi happened to appear. Ms Pelosi took the opportunity to schmooze the good doctor a bit and asked him a question with which he was most at ease.

'Would you mind telling me, Doctor,' she asked, 'how you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?'

'Nothing is easier,' he replied. 'You ask a simple question which anyone should answer with no trouble. If the person hesitates, that puts you on the track.'

'What sort of question?' asked Pelosi.

Well, you might ask, 'Captain Cook made three trips around the world and died during one of them. Which one?''

Pelosi thought a moment, and then said with a nervous laugh, 'You wouldn't happen to have another example would you? I must confess I don't know much about history.'

Bloggers

Another wonderful place I love to drop in on and visit is in MO. This young lady works hard and then comes home and tackles "the shingles" and house painting. She has a cat that loves to go through her screens (sometimes right after she replaces them). Her home has tons of history.

Stop by and give her a visit.

BobLo - Moonlight Cruise

This is one of my favorite things from childhood and young adulthood. If you were a kid, there was nothing like BobLo Island -- rides and SO much fun. If you were young and in love, there was absolutely NOTHING like a moonlight cruise on the BobLo boat. Sigh.

Lazy Days of Summer

I have been remiss. I have been lax. I have not been visiting my favorite blogs this summer. I have been puttering in the flower garden. I have been watching over the lovely miniature Hostas my friend Jan sent me. One of them bloomed a lovely purple bloom. I have been feeding the birds -- and, of course, the squirrels - they invite themselves!

I am hoping you went to see Indrani...

Here is another of my favorites. You will see wonderful recipes, lovely pictures of Charli the lady Schnauzer. There's Blue Monday and Dogs on Thursday and Books on Thursday. There's tea and family. Stop by. You will enjoy her as much as I do (she is a very good friend).

Animal Hoarder

I don't know how many of you are from Michigan that read my spot, but there is a news story that is in it second day here. A 56 year old man has been removed from his Dearborn home and is being mentally evaluated. He had approximately 262 dogs in his home -- 151 of them were dead and 111 of them were alive. Some of them were pregnant, some of them were deformed, some of them had tumors (some of which were in their mouths)... there were Chihuahas and Jack Russell Terriers. Some of them had been locked in rooms for at least two years. There were also a couple of cats. I don't think any of them had ever been outside. They found dead dogs in closets, in walls, in old TV cabinets and in freezers. To say the home was full of filth would be an understatement. They had to go in with hazmat suits and gas masks. To top it off, the utility company cut the power off to the house because they said it was a fire hazard and the ones cleaning all the things out of the house are in there now with no electricity -- and there are 75 dogs in freezers.... thawing.

This is such a tragedy. How awful that another animal hoarder has caused countless animals to pay the price of the hoarder's stupidity.

It will be about two weeks before they can fully evaluate all of the animals and decide how many can be put up for adoption. I am hopeful that most of the 111 can be adopted.

It's Friday!
