Our remote control to the garage door opener has died—first
world problems, I know—and because it’s the original door opener—the door
itself was replaced a few years ago—we need to do some searching to find a new
opener; even the universal openers are too new! Until then, this is how we work
the door … I leave for work in the morning and with the push of a
button Carlos closes the door after I’m gone. I come home from work in the evening and with the push of a
button Carlos opens the door for me. We come home together after being out and about and I stop
the car and poke Carlos in the side and he shrieks like a howler monkey: “Quit poking me! I am not the garage door opener.” I poke him again and he gets out to open the door … “Aren’t you?” I’m enjoying this game so I may take my time looking for a
real solution. |

This Tuxedo Says is still from those dark days of mask wearing: While some of y’all are out there bitching about being uncomfortable wearing masks think of what else the government has done to some of us …  Tuxedo was always right. |

Isn’t it funny how there are no more rapists and criminals
storming the border, only rapists and criminals joining the incoming

Linda Lavin, best known for her Emmy-nominated role in the
1976 sitcom Alice and her Tony-winning performance in the 1986
play Broadway Bound, died Sunday at the age of 87 due to
complications from recently discovered lung cancer. A former child stage actor, Lavin started her Broadway
career in the 1960s, appearing in the musical It’s a Bird…It’s a
Plane…It’s Superman and the play Last of the Red-Hot Lovers,
which earned her the first of six Tony Award nominations in 1970. A funny, talented woman. RIP |

This is the problem with America: Bayer is a pharmaceutical company and Monsanto is a pesticide company. Bayer bought Monsanto. Bayer makes drugs for Non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma while Monsanto makes a chemical called glyphosate to spray on food crops
and Glyphosate causes Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We have come full circle. |

After some Costco shareholders asked the company to end its
DEI policies, this was their response: “Our board has considered this proposal and believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." Snap. |

Well, well, well … doesn’t he have the perfect name … I mean, did he create the cakes because of his name or did he change his name when he made those cakes? Either way ... |

The Boulder County Courthouse has been designated a National
Historic Landmark after it became a beacon of equality and justice in 1975 when
Boulder County Clerk Clela Rorex issued the first same-sex marriage license in
the nation. On March 26, 1975, Rorex consulted the Assistant District
Attorney to confirm there were no Colorado laws prohibiting marriage between
individuals of the same sex and so she began issuing marriage licenses to
same-sex couple, stating years later: “After having been so deeply involved in the women’s rights movements, who was I to then deny a right to anyone else? It wasn’t my job to legislate morality.” This act of courage ignited a nationwide conversation about
marriage equality and cemented the courthouse’s role as a symbol of hope and
progress for the LGBTQ+ community and, within weeks, Rorex issued five more
same-sex marriage licenses. It’s nice they’ve made the courthouse a National Historic
Landmark, but they should have made Clela Rorex one, too. |
