The other afternoon when I was out with Jessie and Phoebe, I looked and there were these majestic thunderheads in three directions around us.

This is an act on Britain’s Got Talent. They’re from Russia and it’s amazing what they can do with their bodies.

Jessie has a friend staying with us for over two weeks. She’s a five-year old English Labrador named Phoebe. She’s sweet, playful and they love each other.

She’s also helping Jessie keep her girlish figure.

So, so true …

Does anyone check things today? Our paper is full of errors every day …

And they were always glad to see us …

This seemed appropriate given my birthday yesterday …

This was true even when we had liver and onions, my father’s favorite …

This may be true …

You gotta love the dog’s eyes …

Tequila has protein, right? …

Me too …

Of course not ..

Spiders deserve any and all punishment, along with mosquitoes …

Now we know what Radar did after he left the Army …

Well, duh …

But, think of the trail of slime …

I don’t know if it would have worked, but an interesting idea …

Be sure and follow rule number 2 if you can’t follow rule number 1 …

We have a vase just like this. We call it our ‘vase with an attitude’ …

Since I eat a lot of cereal I think this would be a great idea …

How about only until 8 PM or so …

Finally, a good use of words …

I’m 81 today, August 16. My Dad always said he started his day by looking at the obituaries in the morning paper. If his name wasn’t there it was going to be a good day.

My name wasn’t in the paper this morning so it’s going to be a good day and the great thing about being 81 is I’m 81 with Betty.
