RIP Jane Goodall

Leave a comment

I’ve always admired Jane Goodall. Like her, I have always thought that primates are beautiful and so worthy of learning more about. We should be honored to have common ancestry with them, as we do with ALL mammals, by the way. When I was in Chicago several weeks ago, I walked my butt off in the museum campus along the shore and came upon this nondescript statue outside of one of the many grand buildings. I recognized the subject matter instantly. I didn’t know that she would be gone just a few weeks later, but I’m glad I decided to take pictures of it.

Pogonophobia

Leave a comment

Pete Keg-breath is a die-hard Pogonophobe! What’s wrong Drunky McIron Cross Tattoo Racist? Can’t manage your own facial growth, so you want to control everyone else with a form of expression for cultural and other reasons? As if this lame administration in the USA isn’t destructive enough? What a clown show.

Foster Dolly Goes to a New Home

Leave a comment

A lovely couple in nearby Crockett brought their dogs over to meet our beautiful foster dog Dolly, who has been with us for several months. Dolly was extremely attached to me, so I warned them that she would be very shy and suspicious of them, but they can take her on a trial basis and will see that she’ll be very happy to be with them in due course. I’m so proud of Dolly and love her. She looks so much like my Snoopy and has some similar characteristics.

As a foster dad to dogs, it feels good to physically hand a young, healthy dog like her over to a family that will take such good care of her forever. It is very rewarding to make a space in my life so someday I can help another dog who doesn’t fare well in the shelter environment with at least a temporary place to go, especially if that dog has special needs or is senior, for example. Tomorrow is National Black Dog Day! Animals like Dolly are statistically passed over more often because of their black coats, believe it or not. People are really missing out!

Bad Economy

Leave a comment

What a load of crap, thanks to Cankles McTaco Tits and his economy! For years, I’ve used these coffee pods, which are mostly biodegradable. I even empty out the coffee to compost them when I’m done. I thought I was seeing things recently when the scissors to cut the netting became closer and closer to the lid. Then I realized that despite the prices of a case going UP significantly, they literally have LESS coffee in each pod now! I wish I had a “before” picture, but I never thought I’d have to be in this situation. That means that my fuel to get through the day is now compromised for each cup of coffee with less caffeine for MORE money.

Mazatlan Mexican Food in Vallejo

Leave a comment

This was the first time for Shea and me at Mazatlan Mexican restaurant in the vicinity here in Vallejo. There was great food, very friendly service and a cool ambience with Frida Kahlo and other Dia de los Muertos art on the wall while frenetic music videos were playing in the background.
