Still Life with Vegetables



I grew all this stuff and tried to get Pepper to pose with it to make a Still Life with Black Cat but the black cat was having none of it and stormed away in a huff. I suffer for my art and expect her too also. Is that asking too much?

Vanity, thy Name is License Plate

Driving south to my home sweet home on the major east coast highway, I spotted this license plate:

I95SUX

Yes, it does when you can only go about 25 mph as we were at that time.

On the trip north I saw this plate:

EVISCR8

Why would you want that on your license plate?

Today I saw this one:

HORCPLAY

What do you think, hard c or soft? The horse decal on the bumper gave that one away.

Also seen today:

QTPIRN

I have no idea.

And a few months ago:

4NIC8ME

Clearly the DMV censor was not paying attention. And the young man driving this car was a terrible driver.

Wait, on the one from QTPIRN: cutie pie RN? A cute nurse?

Here's my personal favorite, seen on the vehicle of a hipster grandpa I know:

Adorable Birthday Boots for Evie








Grandma and Evie

I've been a very negligent blogger lately. I'd like to say I've been busy, but who hasn't?

Here are some adorable photos to make up for my lack of fascinating posts.

I must go now, I'm very very
busy.
Tippy hates her new collar.

To Hell in a Handbasket




I don't mean to be gloomy, but when do things begin to look up? I try to be cheery and optimistic but it's getting tough. You know what would help? Besides millions of jobs? if all the crazy-assed, loud-mouth whack job politicians and professional talkers would just shut the hell up. And you can tell them I said so.




Psst, has that love-struck governor stifled himself yet? And is the king of pop buried yet? And that nice latino lady, is she on the Supreme Court yet?








Seriously, I am broken-hearted over events in Iran. How I wished for a good outcome, and now that seems remote. I am humbled by the courage shown by the protestors, especially the women. We really need to get more involved with political affairs in this country before the politicians mess up even more than they have already. We the people are much too complacent.
What I recommend for those times when you can't bear to turn on the TV: play with kittens!

I hope to get a photo soon of Tippy and Moses who have become best buddies. Enjoy these until it get that precious photo.
