Then it's not The Kennedy Center Honors then, is it? The Donald Trump is pouting because he can't put his name on another President's memorial Capitol One Arena Honors doesn't have the same ring though.

Took the day off, went to the zoo. Where I not only saw the traditional animals (Baylor is showing off his flexibility), but there was a Bigfoot sighting.

Elephant, Baylor, showing off for food, while zoo keeper explains these 'tricks' allow keepers to check flexibility & joint movements & foot quality, so they can spot health issues quickly. Also elephants get pedicures.

It has nothing to do with it being country. It's bland. Country crosses over all the time. Most recently 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' or everything Dolly ever did. 'Choosin' Texas' having this long a run seems more an indictment of the music industry failing to deliver a hit this summer.

As I stress about the midterms (because I've met American voters) books & tv are my escape. I've been enjoying season 4 of Ted Lasso more than most & tonight got my true comfort watch back GBBO! Oh the cakes! And Nigella is such a lovely addition & Allison is pure sunshine.

A) who has the time for this? Most people are lucky to find 20 min in their day for a walk. B) why live forever if you have to do miserable sh*t like eating worms?

Stop your doomscrolling to admire the ladies' new bandanas, after a visit to the groomer.

I do not know why there isn't more messaging on how the richest, most powerful people in America have made starvation here & abroad policy. There should be pictures of Mar-a-Lago parties next to starving children. And put this squarely where this belongs Trump & his billionaire buddies.

As Yom Kippur begins, I am reminded a young co-worker in the early aught wishing the lone Jewish co-worker in our department "Happy Young Kipper Day!" It was one his more understandable malapropisms. May your fast be easy.

The world burns, but this little lady reminds me pure love exists. She also believes people are people & has no time for white supremacists, fascists, transphobes, homophobes, or *ssholes. Only people who believe in empathy and compassion are welcome in her life.

A brown freckled white muzzle leads to soft dark whiskey colored eyes. As the camera focuses on the black pointed nose of a basset hound. Her big floppy brown ears, her stocky white chest, and her short legs with big paws.

My phone number has somehow gotten on a polling list. 4 texts today. Plus, the Dems are calling to ask if I want to volunteer. How? I'm registered unaffiliated for the love all that is holy. Yes, I have opinions, but I don't want talk to pollsters, nor volunteer. I'm old & burnt out.

I just checked the score on the Broncos game & feel my choice to watch the Emmys was the smart one. Especially as of the few shows I watched this yr: The Pitt & Widow's Bay did really well. Also, it's a crime that Matthew Rhys can't use his Welsh accent in everything he does.

Went to the zoo yesterday. This is the best view I've had of the sloth yet. Also, I learned if you donate enough money to the zoo, you could potentially name a baby animal. A new way to waste money if I ever have money unlocked. Otherwise, it just goes to dog & cat rescues.

The fudge? I sound like Kansas City? Denver, yeah, sure, I live here. Granted, my dialect is a mix of the Rockies with a helping of Minnesota & a dash of East Anglia, while heavily seasoned by exposure to Texans.

The first thing the next President needs to do is tear it down. Claim it was shoddily built & is a danger to anyone who uses it. Do not accept it as fait accompli. The White House is not a palace. It's an office and a residence. It needs to be restored to its humble place in history.

Instead of booing Trump at his next public appearance, people should start singing 'O Canada'.

Trump already has a job, that he doesn't do. If he wants to do real estate, construction, and project management, he needs to resign as President. This toadying bs because he wants his name on everything is sickening. Also, the Kennedys need to ostracize RFK Jr. for supporting this.

I'm sure Dolly had grumpy days & people she didn't like, but she tried to live her Christian values & treat others as she wanted to be treated. That's why people loved her. Proof that being kind, generous & non-judgemental is worth striving for.

Watching a budget guru on the Today Show blaming impulse buys for people living paycheck to paycheck. My wash machine wasn't an impulse buy, a burst pipe wasn't an impulse buy, the MRI for a bulging disc wasn't an impulse buy. Gas, groceries, & electricity aren't impulse buys. Unrealistic *ss.

Someone on NextDoor asked to whom they "complain" about the bears in their neighborhood. I wonder if they go to Yellowstone & ask to see the manager if Old Faithful doesn't erupt on schedule? Part of life in Colorado is adjusting to mother nature. Local news has advised nightly on has bear safety.
