Actually, Governor, that was way more information than we ever needed to know. Before trying that polo-no T-shirt thing again, either use some duct tape (ouch) or order yourself some Nippies from Amazon. You’re actually quite competitive with Janet Jackson’s infamous Super Bowl “wardrobe malfunction“. But…. then again??!!
The Infamous Wardrobe Malfunction – Eye Bleach Alert
Some say, “For the Greenest Yard, Leave the Leaves (and the poop) Behind.”
Even if you mastered the mower this summer and maintained a lush, manicured lawn all season, fall comes with a new set of challenges. Blowing or raking leaves throughout the season can leave you feeling less like an accomplished weekend yard warrior and more like Sisyphus with his boulder.
Salvation may come from the the National Wildlife Federation, which encourages homeowners to skip raking or blowing leaves entirely and suggests that they let them be. The reason? “A leaf layer several inches deep is actually a natural thing in any area where trees naturally grow,” according to the organization. It also points out that many animal species—including turtles, earthworms, chipmunks, and insects—rely on leaf layers as a micro-ecosystem.
Do remember, though. Autumn Dog Turds… You know they are out there. You just don’t know where.
Keeping An ‘Eye’ On History
There’s something a bit unsettling going on here…
I think she’s had some ‘plastic’ surgery done, don’t you?
This pups ‘owner/groomer’ better be keeping his Life Alert subscription paid up to date, because if he falls and can’t get up… Well, he’s guaranteed to be toast. Err… call him Kibbles ‘n Bits, instead.
We didn’t have great buses like this to get to stool when I was a kid. We had to walk barefoot, in the snow, uphill both ways, to get stooled.

We’ll miss the Senator in oh, so many ways….
Even the FakeNews Washington Post (yeah, a stopped clock….yada, yada, yada) got this one right, “The ‘i before e, except after c’ rule is a giant lie.”
“I before E, except after C.”
The familiar grade school mnemonic is a “supreme, and for many people solitary, spelling rule,” linguist Edward Carney wrote in “A survey of English spelling.” Its primacy has been acknowledged in English grammar textbooks from 1866 (James Stuart Laurie’s “Manual of English Spelling,”) until the present day (Bryan Garner’s “Modern English Usage”).
But like many, many other rules in the English language, it turns out this one is built on a foundation of lies.
