Kenny Rogers has a new hobby: confidently barking. He would like to eventually find something or someone to bark *at*, maybe even a reason *to* bark, but for now he won’t let such details stand in his way.

“It’s kind of warm in here. I might just take off my jacket. I know that would kind of ruin the ‘wash of brown’ look I got going but it’s kind of warm, like I said. I figure if it gets colder, I could just put the jacket back on. That’s still an option. But maybe I should wait?”

1916 Life magazine image created to protest American isolationism, warning what could happen if WW1 was lost. Kind of love the take on Canada. Gotta admit living in St Karl sounds kind of dope. And pretty funny about Bismarck, ND. And, yeah, that new Gulf of Mexico name goes pretty hard.

I had to take a picture of this part:

It’s 87 degrees on October 10 in Saint Paul, which is troubling but it’s also the happiest I’ve ever seen Kenny Rogers.

I thought that guy was an NPR film critic but now he’s Beaver Cleaver’s friend?? Totally the Mondello Effect. Scary.

Hey MN! You’ve seen me talk about being a foster family for rescue dogs on here. It’s been a fun and very meaningful part of our lives. It’s free too, they give you all the supplies and med care. There’s a foster open house tomorrow if you’re interested in learning more or helping out.

FOSTER OPEN HOUSE , Sunday October 11th, 1-3pm, 5959 Baker Road ste 300, Minnetonka

You like Sally, don’t you Kenny Rogers?

You’d have to call this progress for Kenny Rogers, right? When we picked him up four weeks ago, he wouldn’t leave his crate. Also, someone, please adopt him: new.shelterluv.com/embed/animal...

Amy Klobuchar is going to be hard to beat because of her huge ad budget and skilled professional messaging team.

I really should have had this made into a yard sign. Maybe I still could. Thanks, @jerkeye.bsky.social for making me think of it.

I knew they should have never formed The Drunken Clash in the first place. Terrible band concept. Douglas sounds nothing like Strummer and Roberts is no Paul Simonon on the bass.

Many dogs need foster homes in Minnesota. For instance, Harper, the mysteriously 33-pound chihuahua. Or perhaps you could provide temporary care to Strong Steve. www.thebondbetween.org/foster/dogs

That thing where you have to bring Nancy Pelosi bowl after bowl of baked beans for a week and a half but then you can finally stop.

First time letting me actually watch him sleep. Usually he gets very alert if someone looks at him. Granted, he is a bit hot dog drunk at the moment.

Also offered McDonald’s fries but my man preferred the hot dog slices. And yes, that is a crate on a couch.

Hot dog slices from my hand for Kenny Rogers. Good boy, Kenny Rogers.

When a pet passes away and is said to be crossing the “rainbow bridge”, is that bridge part of Rainbow Road? And if so, how do Mario and his fellow racers deal with that traffic situation?

Ethically, I should tell them I’m not Connie. But at a certain point, after enough emails, maybe I AM Connie?

Email I received:

Hi Connie,
I’d love to suggest Pastor Chuck Lewis for Equipped To Be. Your episode about raising future adults connects directly with his emphasis on raising healthy, faithful adults rather than simply well-behaved children.

I think one of his eyes is a camera used to spy on us from the chaos universe where he’s from. But I’m not sure which eye.

Kenny Rogers, you got another application! In emailing the applicant, I referred to your “future promise and present complexity.” Fingers crossed for a loving and patient home.

4511

Big development! Besides being Connie, I am now also Shannon.

Email from publicist reads “

“Hi Shannon,
When someone we love gets bad news or experiences a loss, most of us want to help but have no idea how to begin. We worry about saying the wrong thing, so we say too much, or we say nothing”

Well, regardless, congratulations to Ice Cube.

The recent deaths of Dennis Hastert and Dennis Haskins must be making one person in particular kind of nervous.

I can read lips if someone has written words in English on those lips.

I never expected to scold one of my dogs for “stealing Kenny Rogers’ trazodone” but that’s exactly what happened at the Moe house.

I grieve the loss of Twitter, still. Losing it to all those ogres. It was never perfect but I am still tremendously moved by this thread. x.com/johnmoe/stat... Bsky is great but we lost something. Screenshot for those who'd rather not click:

A non-momentous perfect moment in your life.
Not a turning point, no wedding or childbirth or promotion or big break.
A moment that changed nothing really but that was just perfect.
Go!

20 years ago, a party at my friend Shannon’s house. She had learned just enough guitar to sort of play “Daughter” by Pearl Jam. So - drunkenly and with tremendous joy - she played it for 20 minutes.
Life went on, she didn’t become a musician, but that night was perfect.

A knock-off site had a catalog that included Math Emergency so I adjusted.

Why, this didn’t take any time at all. Nor am I instantly full of doubts and second-guessing.

My habit of barely ever looking at Instagram has worked out well but I must admit there is some good stuff there.

I think I also need someone with less baggage. There are known topics with him. Does anyone know what Benmont Tench thinks about anything? Not really.

Good morning, Kenny Rogers. Good morning, Maisy filming a commercial for antidepressants.

I might also bring to your attention the recently posted Brazil:

Kenny Rogers makes it okay to both be weird AND decorate your life.

Some puppies looking for foster homes in Minnesota. Marie wants you to foster her. And her sister. I think her name’s Deborah. You don’t even have to go to JC Penney to meet them. www.thebondbetween.org/foster/dogs youtu.be/YwXeCuhEch8?...

Kenny Rogers hopped up on a couch I was already sitting on. Real progress. Please understand, it’s not important that he learns to love me. It’s important that he learns to love people so that he’ll love you when you adopt him from me.

Jill thinks I should do new Wolves broadcaster (and Sonics broadcaster 1987-2008) Kevin Calabro for crop art. He is the absolute best after all.

I don’t know why everyone is saying it’s so bad. Nothing with Timothy Bottoms could ever be bad.
