Her Majesty flew out of Columbus International at 6:15 am this morning for the 'Up Nort' Minnesota cabin. She'll be gone a week which means my life of leisure has come to an abrupt halt.
Doing one's husbandly duty isn't easy. Oh yeah, I could have told her to Uber it to the airport or have her take her car and park it for a week but, no, I hauled my sorry butt out of bed at 5 am and did what good husbands do. I am so wonderful.
Anyway, when I arrived home at 6:30 I made a cup of coffee and read the paper. Oh shoot! I'm a liar. I jumped back in bed and did my thing until Charlie started licking my face at half past ten. This licking is code for 'take me out now or I'll drop a BM on the carpet floor'.
The Cicada's are becoming tedious, I don't mind the incessant chatter but when I walk Chaz----well, have you ever set a bowl of M&M's in front of a guest and looked at an empty receptacle an hour later? When Charlie and I walk I have one task and one task only. It's too keep him from the smorgasbord that is every six inches away from him.
Yours truly is now ten weeks off bread and sugar and it's wonderful. Sleeping is a pleasure and the genuine feeling of "Wow, I didn't know I could feel so good" is danged nice. I wonder how long I'll go before I screw it up.
Big news out of the pharmaceutical industry. It was announced a new drug for Alzheimer's is out. Don't get too excited. In the first place, if you're reading this and do have the disease you'll probably forget the gist of what I write before this sentence ends. Anyway there are a couple of drawbacks. (1) The price is $56,000 a month(way out of my range unless I become Jeff Bezos) and (2) it may bring on strokes. In light of this I think I'd rather forget where I put my car keys every day and like it.
The weather folks announced it's the beginning the really hot and humid season. Are they dumb or what. How can it be hot and humid when a guy is in his house with the air conditioning running like a wild stallion?
Speaking of wild stallions the Biden administration has teamed up with the American Cattlemen's Asso. to get rid of wild horses. It seems the cattle guys hate these animals for grazing on their land even though they have 127 million acres and the ponies graze on 27 million. So, what to do? Well, if you horse lovers want to get involved the government is now sending horses to slaughter. According to a segment on Tucker Carlson this past week 1,000 of them are in corrals in Denver waiting to be processed.
Until I got ahold of Charlie I didn't much give thought to the preservation of animals. Well, I'm not a huge fan of reptiles but anything with fur has become a personal friend of mine; chipmunks, racoons; you know the drill. I'll eat beef but don't ask me to put a bullet between Bessie's eyes. I don't hunt but it doesn't bother me to see a pheasant go down knowing the next time I see it it'll be going down my gullet. I'm one of those saps who'll see a dog hit by a car then tears will flow. But that's just me. The truth is I'd never, ever be allowed to become a member of MS-13.
I'd like to continue on with this but my attention is being requested. Charlie needs to out again and what Charlie wants Charlie gets. Besides, it's hell cleaning urine soaked carpets.
