Prince Would Have Been 64
…today.
My all-time favorite song of his.
Play it loud. You can’t help but smile.
Happy Birthday THS!!!
You’re almost as old as Pelosi now!!
More of: Life With ths
If anyone was startled by the sound of a man howling something in the middle of the street last night, I apologize.
It was my husband.
The neighbors had moved out, and left their ghastly birdbath – which I had LONG coveted – ON. THE. CURB.
I saw it sitting there, in pieces, forlornly gracing the side of the road just a smidge after 9 as we were walking Maggie.
“Puta madre! I MUST HAVE IT!“
major dad. “Oh, HELL, no.”
On the way back, I snatched up the top piece – a lifelike sculptural representation of two doves, cooing lovingly at each other (Kinda like me and him, no? Okay, no.), and hoofed it home, ALL THE WHILE listening to “WE’RE NOT TAKING THAT.” I was prepared to go it alone, as always.
“I’ll get the dolly. Never you mind.”
So, well, he gets the car (), we pop down the street, and hoist the remaining two (what seem like 70 lbs a piece
) sections into the trunk. And, before closing said lid, he throws his arms to the sky and wails.
“I MARRIED FRED SANDFORD!!!!“
Like I said, sorry.
Man. That birdbath is SO ugly, it’s bitchin’. #score
UPDATE: Since certain people in the comments can’t leave well enough alone…

Oh Somehow I Don’t Think This Is The First Time
Hillary has written quite a lot of fiction before.
But, hey, at this point what does it matter?
An Evening for Scotsmen
A happy Robert Burns Night to my fellow Scots (Clan MacEwan, Barony of Otter here), and those who wish they could be!
In a bit of a quandary, as I’d like to celebrate in more than spirit, BUT. I’m nae a Scotch drinker, and, perusing traditional, haggis-free Scottish side dish recipes, I find they’re all just as loathsome and bland as the food was when I spent ten days rambling around the homeland of my ancestors and my own heart.
God help me, I love it all, but they can’t cook for shit.
However YOU celebrate, a wonderful evening to you, and lang may yer lum reek!

“Some hae meat and canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat and we can eat,
And sae the Lord be thankit.”
Busy Weekend
The Squid Terrorist decided we needed to get going installing the fortress battlements between the houses (also known as: new, IMPROVED, ‘try knocking THIS down, you hurricanes, you‘ fence).



Then major dad worked his magic over an oak fire for a perfect Santa Maria tri-tip Sunday supper.


NOW it can it rain.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BINGLEY!!!


In Her Darkest Hour…
America finds a New HeroAn Idaho Falls man and two others were in hot water after being found with cooking pots and two chickens in a thermal area of Yellowstone National Park.
A ranger received reports on Aug. 7 that a group was hiking toward Shoshone Geyser Basin with cooking pots, a park spokeswoman told EastIdahoNews.com Friday. The ranger responded and discovered two whole chickens in a burlap sack sitting in a hot spring with a cooking pot nearby.
