Bobservations

Years ago shortly after moving into Casa Bob y Carlos, we went to a plant sale at the State Farmer’s Market site. We saw many plants we liked, though we weren’t looking for anything in particular, and Carlos pied the Popcorn Bush AKA Popcorn Viburnum. It was described as having flowers that looked like popcorn balls and Carlos wanted it.

It stood about a foot-and-a-half tall and Carlos told me the guy wanted $17 for it so he got one and headed to the checkout. Carlos misunderstand the price and it was actually $70 and he was too embarrassed to say ‘No,’ so we drove home with it.

Carlos planted it near the shed and didn’t like it there so he dug it up and replanted it along the fence so we could see it from the kitchen; he didn’t like it there either and was going to move it when I told him this was the last move so he’d better pick a good spot.

That’s the Popcorn bush today in its final spot in the yard just off the deck. I’d say we got our seventy bucks worth!

This Tale of Tuxedo is from March 2009:

I was on yard patrol today, raking leaves, bagging leaves, hauling bags across lawn to be put in the car and taken away. Tuxedo likes to sit in the window and watch. But then he gave me that Pouty Cat face when I came in because he isn't allowed to go outside. Then he decided to punish me for leaving him in the house while I was outside having "fun."

Note to self: Don't piss off the cat!

We had a great time at Columbia’s No Kings protest with more people in attendance than the last one—over 1500—and more Republicans out protesting too.

Keep it up, The Resistance is real! 

After his second drunk driving crash, this time a rollover accident in which he flipped his car on a suburban street Tiger Woods has said the reason he has never used a private driver over the years is due to concerns over his privacy, never mind the people he might kill.

A source says Tiger “doesn’t want anyone to watch over him or know what he is doing” which may explain all the pills ALLEGEDLY found in the car and his new statement about going to rehab.

Well, rehab is to keep him out of jail, they say.

Dear Pam Bondi: Do you want a great new thing to investigate besides Epstein? I recommend Pete Hegseth’s insider trading. You’re welcome.

By now you’ve all heard that cosplay actor Kristi DogKiller Noem’s husband also like to play dress up … as a woman.

Now a rumor is circulating that the person who informed on Bryon Noem was an immigrant sex worker, possibly in the country illegally, who wanted to go public about Noem’s husband using her services online.

Noem has asked for privacy during this difficult time so I will give her as much privacy as she planned on giving trans Americans when she wanted them followed into bathrooms and arrested.

Payback is a bitch, eh?
