Rabid Fox

Rabid Fox

I was out along the garden Saturday taking out some Sumac and Pokeweed , our next door neighbor came over to tell me there was a rabid fox staggering along it just went across her yard, she called the police, they were here in minutes, the office had his hand on his gun as he neared the poplar tree, the officer and another walked through the side yard by my workshop, we didn't hear a shot we we assume they didn't get him. We're keeping a sharp eye out...

It was a Dragon fly day Saturday, we had thousands, maybe more swarming, I'm hoping they are eating all the mosquitos! The skeeters are bad this year.  Winston saw them for the first time trying to catch them, he's still on a leash though so I couldn't let him go, he would have been doing flips if I'd loosed his leash.

Rose called our neighbor up on the hill to tell her about the fox, she mentioned they had a Black bear and 3 cubs running around, the cute cubs climbing trees. Something big got into my run in shed the other night trashing the fence that normally keeps the dogs out. I didn't notice anything else out of order.

Jarrod stopped by Saturday evening, he's got a new job, and a lot of gigs he's playing, and doing sound for.

Zeb is slowly recovering from his surgery. Looking better by the day... He's still wearing his cone of shame, sleeping a lot from the meds. he's on.

Winston has a vet appt. Monday AM to get his second Lyme booster shot.

Zeb started eating his normal breakfast this morning, after he didn't want any more of the canned food we hand feed him pills in, we had to resort to his other fave cheese. 

Zeb is definitely starting to feel better, not 100% yet but better. He tried to play a bit with Winston last night while he was doing zoomies between the living and dining rooms, it's funny to watch him going so fast up and over the back of the couch, back to the dining room, zoom, zoom... Winston really likes doing zoomies.

“I’ve been selling my soul
Working all day
Overtime hours
For bullsh*t pay
So I can sit out here and waste my life away
Drag back home and drown my troubles away

 

Story Time... The mouse told everyone he was ok. He seemed ok. Nice house in a good neighborhood, pretty wife, 3 great kids, a vacation every once in a while. But he wasn't. He had given up his dreams to get here. Stopped following his passion to take a boring office job that paid for it all, but offered no satisfaction. None of his time was his anymore. Evenings after work were spent shuttling his kids to karate practice or piano lessons or play dates. On the weekends he went to swim meets and choir concerts and built treehouses. One Sunday a month he got to go do whatever he wanted, but usually ended up sitting in his car in the Target parking lot for a couple hours; half-zoned out, half-listening to NPR. Sometimes he'd cry a little. But not every time. Then he would come back home and declare that the lake isn't what it used to be. Didn't catch anything today, either. The rhythm of life made time pass weirdly. Sometimes the first few hours of stupid fucking paperwork on a Monday morning could be marked by the rings of a tree. Sometimes there was hardly any difference between a minute and a year. He blinked and his oldest was going off to college. He blinked again and he was talking options with his wife and the oncologist who would save her life over the next 17 months. He blinked a third time and he was old. It was Thanksgiving. There was a big stuffed turkey in front of him. A wife as old as he was, but still pretty as their their wedding day held his right hand. And all around them were their children and grandchildren and that one sad boy who lived next door to Cheryl (Steven's oldest) because he didn't have anyone to spend Thanksgiving with, so of course he could come. Smiles all around. They all said what they were thankful for. Everyone laughed when Tanner said he was thankful for Grandpa Mouse's fuzzy beard and great big bear hugs. But he wasn't joking. That's what home felt like to him. What love felt like.
Now Mouse could see he was ok, he really was. Actually, he always had been.



That's all Folks...

Political BS...

 

CNN reporter hears from the public... He said some on the left want to call them “deplorable” — but “there are millions of them!”

“They’re good people…They go to Church! But they believe things that would break our fact-check machine,” King despaired. “And they don’t trust us! They think we’re part of the problem!” Bingo.

Bash continued, then blaming conservative media for these poor deluded people.

 Ivermectin no longer just for horses – Useless FDA says can be used for Covid;

“It’s long past time to impeach Joe Biden,” Steube said. “He has undermined the integrity of his office, brought disrepute on the Presidency, betrayed his trust as President, and acted in a manner subversive of the rule of law and justice at the expense of America’s citizens. The evidence continues to mount by the day – the Biden Crime Family has personally profited off Joe’s government positions through bribery, threats, and fraud. Joe Biden must not be allowed to continue to sit in the White House, selling out our country.”

AMERICANS NOT FOOLED – Two Thirds of Americans Believe 2020 Election was Rigged, The Feds Incited Jan 6, and the Biden's are a Crime Family.

    KAMALA HARRIS: "Wages are up and inflation has fallen 12 months in a row! Think about that!"   Since Biden and Harris took office, prices are up by 16.6% and real wages are down by 3%. Think about that! pic.twitter.com/7TJTlNeUrW

    The American family is suffering under @JoeBiden.  Inflation is getting worse with Bidenomics with over 60% of citizens living paycheck-to-paycheck.  Families don’t deserve to hurt at the kitchen table because of Biden’s poor leadership. pic.twitter.com/fp0WSyjsBN

An Open Letter To Joe Biden: The American People Are Absolutely Sick And Tired Of “Bidenomics”



The creators of the U.S. government did not intend for people to trust them or their successors with anything – no matter how well the federal government functioned. After all, they gave their own population the means to shoot them. And living today, we can see why. Trusting our government has yielded a war-hungry military-industrial-political complex that uses a professional army to create conflicts and instability abroad to justify a slo-mo totalitarian clampdown here. Or as James Madison put it, “liberty everywhere [is] crushed between standing armies and perpetual taxes.”
