This is about the ingenuity of my husband and how he adapts to what life throws at him. Y’all know about his vision issues and how he uses a cane—he calls it his Navigational Device—to move around in public.

Well, he has two canes; the first one wore out and he got a new one. But he kept the old one as his Yard Navigational Device and he uses it to take the dog out, to go up the driveway and check the mail and—and this is my favorite—to edge the lawn with the small lawn mower. Yes, he edges the lawn, while I use the riding mower to mow the lawn, with his cane marking a path along the fence and around the azaleas beside the fence; and he does a darn fine job.

It’s the strangest sight, seeing him out back with the small mower and his cane, around the trees with his cane, and then pruning shrubbery with the cane tucked into his belt until he needs.

Who knew the cane wasn’t meant just to get you around but can help with the yardwork?

This is from April, 2011, with the Sleeping Beauty pets …

“Caturday: The Nap Time Edition

Cats love to nap. Eat and then nap. Stretch and then nap. Use the litter box and then nap. Nap and then, you guessed it, nap. And they all do it pretty much the same way: curled up in a tight little ball.

All except The Most handsome Cat Ever, Tuxedo, who marches, er, naps, to his own drummer.

Tallulah Belle. On a dining room chair??!!???

MaxGoldberg. On a cat bed, like a good boy.

Miss Consuelo Roca Jones. As the newbie, she hasn't graduated to 'çat bed' yet.

Tuxedo. Like Sinatra, he does it his way. On a cat bed, on a couch.”

Nobody took a nap like Tuxedo, going all pretzel for us.

Groups of neo-Nazis—known as ‘Blood Tribe’ and ‘The Goyim Defense League’—marched through parks in the Orlando area over the weekend flashing the Nazi salute and chanting ‘we are everywhere.’ Such a brave lot …

Like that tiny little man up there with the face mask and sunglasses on. I mean, if you’re so proud of being a hate-filled ignorant bigot, why cover your face? Is it because if Mommy found out she’d kick you out of the basement? Or maybe you’d lose your job pumping Slurpees at the 7/11?

So scary … little men.

I was going to toss out an old pair of Levis when the thought of recycling them hit me. And now, when I go out to dinner in a crisp white shirt, some tighty whities and my Levi corset and am told that I need to be wearing pants I can say, “I am.”

We all know that Flori-duh Dumbass Ron DeSantis says his state is where woke goes to die, but it’s also where woke goes to help people after a hurricane.

Anheuser-Busch, owner of woke Bud Light, delivered two truckloads of water—more than 100,000 cans—to areas impacted by Hurricane Idalia to assist with recovery efforts. This is woke. You stop to help those in need even though the state’s governor blasted your company for partnering  with a transgender social media icon.

I think woke is probably a lot better than thirsty Floridians after a hurricane.

PS ron DeSantis never said one word about Nazis marching in Florida, and Silence = Acceptance.

Speaking of Dumb Republican News, Senator Ted Cruz added yet another social media faux pas to his list of online gaffes when he shared a video about Biden opening up “doors” in Inmate # P01135809’s border wall:

This latest bit of stupidity from the most hated human in Congress comes just a week after he shared a doctored image of a shark swimming down the 405 freeway in Los Angeles during the recent tropical storm that hit the region.

Yes, he did.

The other day I dropped my keys and as I reached for them I accidentally nudged them further under the car, Luckily, this nice young man, who was walking by, was only too happy to get on the ground and get my keys. And he was even nicer when he came back a few minutes later when I dropped my phone under the care … and then my wallet … and then when I said there was a cat under there … and then …

He was so sweet I even forgave him for the Crocs he was wearing.

Nicholas Skidmore is a model, fitness instructor—aren’t they all—and an artist; he’s also that rare redhead, which we know is real because in one of the photos you can see that the carpets do indeed match the drapes. But this is not about that: Would You Hit It?
