DAMN!
And gasoline in my town is now $2.959 per gallon.
I just got a lovely Facebook message from someone I don't know:Just wanted to say I love your blog which I just recently discovered. I lost my 2 beloved kits (14 year old brothers) this year and I enjoy reading of your adventures! Thank you and keep blogging. I looked him up. His beautuful tigers were named Yoshi and Ninja. It certainly piques my curiosity to know more about the people who occasionally read my blog.

I have friends who are getting their third shots by just going into a pharmacy and mentioning their health issues, like cancer.

It was for an area in Westchester County, and I have had that a lot of people lost power in that area.I am very grateful it was a false alarm, but what a way to start the day.Yes, some of us wouldn't be able to get back to sleep. I turn my phone off when I go to bed. I don't need amber alerts or wrong numbers.

Not to sound like a complainer, but, in an inept half-gainer,I provoked my bowl to tip and spill its contents on the floor.Stupefied, I came to muddle over that increasing puddle,Burgeoning deluge of that which I at present do adore -Snowy Tuscan wholesomeness exclusively produced offshore -Purg'ed here for evermore.And the pool so white and silky, filled me with a sense of milkyArdor of the type fantastic of a loss not known before,So that now, to still the throbbing of my heart, while gently sobbing,I retreated, heading straightway for the tempting icebox door -Heedless of that pitter-patter tapping at the icebox door -I resolved to have some more.Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,'This,' said I, 'requires an extra dram of milk, my favorite pour.'To the icebox I aspired, motivated to admireHow its avocado pigment complemented my decor.Then I grasped its woodgrain handle - here I opened wide the door; -Darkness there, and nothing more.Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,Doubting, dreaming dreams of Tuscans I had known beforeBut the light inside was broken, and the darkness gave no token,And the only words there spoken were my whispered words, 'No more!'Coke and beer, some ketchup I set eyes on, and an apple core -Merely this and nothing more.Back toward the table turning, all my soul within me burning,Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.'Surely,' said I, 'surely that is something at my window lattice;Let me see then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore -Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore; -'Tis the wind and nothing more!'From the window came a stirring, then, with an incessant purring,Inside stepped a kitten; mannerlessly did she me ignore.Not the least obeisance made she; not a minute stopped or stayed she;But, with mien of lord or lady, withdrew to my dining floor -Pounced upon the pool of Tuscan spreading o'er my dining floor -Licked, and lapped, and supped some more.Then this tiny cat beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,By the grand enthusiasm of the countenance she wore,Toward the mess she showed no pity, 'til I said, 'Well, hello, kitty!'Sought she me with pretty eyes that seemed to open some rapport.So I pleaded, 'Tell me, tell me what it is that you implore!'Quoth the kitten, 'Get some more.'

Mine is a credit card, so I get points all the time.
All it takes is for the licenser of his image to sell him out.
I remember hearing/reading that the company he founded and named after himself actually fired him, so if that's true, then they are selling him out.
