Sunny, With a Chance of Litigation


Sunday, September 20th, 2009

It must be fall.  The sun is shining but nothing ever gets actually dry.  The whippet boys would LIKE to go out and lay in the sun, but the wet grass has them demanding their lawyers and threatening class action lawsuits on behalf of wussy male whippets everywhere.  The T-girl, raised in Minnesota, could care less about the weather conditions, and throws fits of  joy whenever the word “outside” is spoken, regardless of rain, snow, sleet, hail, or locusts.

Logistical issues with the Skull of the Unknown Mammal.  It won’t fit in the pasta sauce jar.  I inspected the refrigerator for a suitable substitute, and all I came up with was an enormous container of Salsa Verde that’s been skulking in the back behind the seedless blackberry jam and the yellow mustard for the duration of its sentence.  Moral dilemma – the green salsa is probably still good, and it would be a waste to throw it out, but the chances of ever finishing a ginormous jar of salsa verde  is right up there with one needing a second bottle of worcestershire sauce in ones lifetime.  Farewell, little green chiles.

Really not much interesting to report today.  I’ve a new idea for a vintage necklace that I just need to get some connectors to finish.  And the first birds arrived at the feeder today.  My friends the black-capped chickadees, Poecile atricapillus, who will be with us all winter if I don’t starve them to death…

Maybe they’d like some Salsa Verde.

Cheers,

J

    My dogs skip the lawyering. They just poop on the sidewalks in their yard so they don’t have to get their feet wet.
