The Late Entry

 Yes, it is late because Howie had a Vet appointment for some booster shots, shots that he's no longer going to be getting.  The total cost was $108, and way too much. One of the boosters was for Lyme disease.  I could make a joke and say we don't grow limes here in Central PA, which is, in a way true, but I won't.  Lyme disease in dogs is the same as Lyme disease in humans, though it is easily cured (in spite of what some Vets want you to believe).  Pet owners should consider it if they live in a rural area where there are deer.  I live in a suburb, and while I have seen deer a mile away from my house, they are not considered local, and with all the new construction going up they will disappear completely.

Anyway, that's why this entry is late.  That and the fact that we stopped off at the great orange retailer I work for as I try to get Howie socialized.  At 5 months old, this is a good time, though he's still very jumpy and wants to sniff every one.  He still has a problem of jumping up on people.  That's something I'm working on, because as he gets bigger the more likely it will be he knocks someone over.

My neighbors sound like they're moving furniture around.  Perhaps because last night I watched a movie with Howie.  I didn't use the soundbar, but the volume was at a decent level.  With my TV, sitting on the other side of the room is almost like sitting in a movie theater.  I'm thinking of buying Wicked and then Defy Gravity with the soundbar on.  Wowza!

And does anyone else see the irony in this?  

Now, I know the ad for a casino was not specifically chosen for this headline, but tell me, wouldn't it be nifty if it was?  Someone has suggest that the perfect cure for Trump and his cult would be another pandemic since everybody knows how much they hate wearing masks.  Is there a deworming med for birds?  If so, they can always begin eating that.

And the Orange Anus was certified yesterday.  What a terrible shame.  All of those voters who cast their ballots for him are already beginning to discover that he no longer has any use for them.  He will be loyal to Elonia and the other billionaires who celebrate his presidency and no one else.  He will give them what they want, the rest of us will suffer.  There is the belief among dumb people that billionaires are smart.  They're not.  They are shrewd.  They are calculating.  They are often down right cutthroat.  But smart?  That's why they leave so many dead bodies behind as they grow their bank accounts.
