I gave my column space today over to a guest column as I have several with a clock on them (it’s one on young people in the Arkansas travel industry; if I used either of the other two for the week, both by Democrats supporting higher teacher pay, it’d be a field day for the trolls). That doesn’t mean, though, that you get nothing here. You’ll get a bit of Charlie and other things that have amused me in the past several days.

I'm a retiree in his seventies. That may not be significant to many, since there is a bunch of us Baby Boomers around. However, in the year 2,000, when I received a diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma, I expected to be dead in three to five years.

I have never seen a cat sploot. Until now. Dogs, yes. Cats, no. Apparently this one never got the message.

Luke was a champion splooter. Of course, sometimes he thought he was a dog. 🤣

The cartoon about garnishing my wages reminded me that my next payday is this Friday. I hope none of those stupid, ignorant, dumbass idiots in the opposite of Progress in Pound Laundry, D.C. tries to shut down the government again like Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton did in 1996. If they do try to garnish my pay, will they also offer me sage, rosemary, and thyme although I rarely have any thyme on my hands?(unlike one of my favorite bands)

THANK you Brenda. Or as someone on television used to say in a sarcastic, snarky, and smart alecky tone of voice, “Thanks, I Needed That.”

When I complained about what happened in 1996 on Facebook, I was surprised and saddened by how many unsympathetic and unkind comments I got in reply. Too many people seemed to think I deserved what happened to me and my co-workers at the Veterans Hospital.
