The other day someone rang the bell at Casa Bob y Carlos. I
was at the back of the house, so I yelled to Carlos about the bell; I got no
response. So, I went out to see what was what and found Carlos at the door
talking to someone … a salesperson
hawking those doorbell cameras. Carlos ever so politely told the woman he was
in the middle of something and asked if she had a brochure he could look at;
she did not. She kept talking, and Carlos’ voice turned gruffer, as he told he
was cooking dinner and didn’t have time to stand and talk. The woman said she
understood and proceeded again with her sales pitch. As I am the Mean One to people who come a ‘knocking at the door
trying to sell gutters or a new roof or the Baby Jesus, I was about to step in,
when Carlos said: “Ma’am! I've explained to you that I do not have time. If you have no printed information, I suggest you get off my porch and off my property. I will be making a call to your company [Vivint] to complain and will tell you that if I ever need or want a doorbell camera, your company is the last company I will pick. Good day.” I loved him for that, and for saying ‘Good day’ like he was
Joan Crawford. |

Y’all probably already knew this, but Tuxedo was
LGBTQ+-friendly when being LGBTQ+-friendly wasn’t cool. That’s my boy. |

Jurors at a civil trial found that rapist Bill Cosby raped a
16-year-old girl at the Playboy Mansion in 1975 and awarded the girl, Judy
Huth who is now 64, $500,000. Jurors believed Cosby raped the girl, knew
she was under 18, and that his conduct was driven by unnatural or abnormal
sexual interest in a minor. Lock him back up. |

I was looking for a new pair of short shorts for summer and found a pair I liked, but they didn’t have a pocket for my phone so I modified them slightly, I like ‘em better now.  |

New
York Governor Kathy Hochul has signed the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act of
New York, which aims to prevent voter suppression or dilution based on race or
language preference. I
guess if the members of the GOP in Congress don’t want equal rights at the
polls, perhaps We The People need to do it state by state. |

Russian journalist Dmitri Muratov put up his Nobel Peace
Prize for auction and it was sold to an anonymous buyer for $103.5 million,
obliterating the record for a Nobel medal. Muratov instantly gave all the money away to UNICEF to aid
Ukrainian children and their families displaced by Russia’s invasion of their
country. That’s how it’s done. |

More Carlos … we have a guy, Craig, who does projects around
Casa Bob y Carlos for us, and he was here the other day doing some work inside
the house. He’s gotten to know the cats over the years and is used to Tuxedo
following him around and checking his work or offering to help; and he knows
Consuelo will look at him, and the disappear the rest of the time he’s working.
And he knows Max will see him, turn tail and run, so he was surprised this day
when he walked into the guestroom and Max was in there, and didn’t move when he
saw Craig. Craig asked me if Max was losing his hearing because he didn’t hear
Craig in the room, and I told him Max was about 17-years-old and has some
health issues, but I didn’t think hearing was one of them. I added that Max was
the “crazy one” in the house, and Craig said: “After Carlos, right?” And he was right. |

Mehmet Oz, the quack “doctor” and GOP nominee for the Senate
from Pennsylvania spent his entire primary run boasting about Thing 45’s
endorsement of him. But my oh my how things have changed with the January 6th Hearings. Oz and his team are quietly shifting his campaign message away from Thing
45, and his banners now say, “Thank you, Pennsylvania” and no
longer feature any phots of Oz and Thing. Pandering fuck. |
