Death by dog

I admit to being a trifle uneasy at Mr. Boy’s acquisition of a golden retriever puppy while still in college at Texas A&M. He and his girlfriend take turns taking care of Olive.

I’m sure they’d be the last to worry about something like this horror story, but maybe they should. It’s the nice thing about a cat, though their claws can infect you as well. Animals as pets are a gamble.

Rule 5: Heather Houston

The elite are doing chores

“I didn’t even know where to put the trash,” she says. “Usually the garbage is collected by my staff and they put it somewhere. I still don’t know where that is.”

Oh, boo hoo

Mask vs hearing aids

Still fighting the mask vs hearing aids battle. Bar made me one that works fairly well. At least it doesn’t lift my aids off my ears. But it slides down below my nose. So I’m ordering some bandannas.

UPDATE:  These are nice masks and they’re made in Austin but you can see from the way they go over the ears that they and hearing aids, which sit atop the hears, don’t mix. I’m hoping the bandannas, which aren’t on the ears at all but tie behind the head will work better.

Decentralized crisis

“President Donald Trump has made history by decentralizing power during a crisis, unlike his predecessors, who used crisis to build a bigger government.”

UPDATE: And, given the reins, some Democrat governors and mayors are destroying their states and cities.

The Democrat depression

House Speaker Nancy “let them eat ice cream” Pelosi has the House on vacation during the pandemic, ignoring the run-out of small business loan money set up by the president, the Republicans and her own party.

Now she no longer cares, despite the fact that small business constitutes 50 percent of US employment. She’s destroying lives just to make Trump look bad. What an evil woman.

UPDATE: The wicked witch of the west.
