Here is one from pal Patty K.....
Having already downed a few power drinks, she turns around and faces him,
looks him straight in the eye and says, "Listen here, good looking. I will screw
anybody, anytime, anywhere, their place, my place, in the car, front door, back
door, on the ground, standing up, naked, or with clothes on. It doesn't matter
to me. I just love it."
His eyes now wide with interest, he responds, "No kidding. I work for the
government too. Are you Federal or State?"

I got some fun K-9 photos from Ike....
Yesterday with all the rain I stayed in except for putting all the trash in
my truck and taking it to the road for today's pickup. Joy. No golf cart in this
downpour! I did back up to the back porch and let Dude jump in (dry) and ride
down and back with me. He was happy about that as he LOVES going for rides!

Here is an interesting story about high taxes in California and businesses
that are pulling out their corporate offices ..
Yes, let's make the people who have money (and have worked for it) pay the
high taxes while we give away money and benefits to lazy pieces of s**t who sit
on their butts with their hands out. PUT THEM TO WORK if they want the $$. Give
them brooms and bags and let them clean up the trash on the streets. Let them
clean off the graffiti. Let them do what there are no jobs for because cities
don't have the money to hire it done! Sigh....................
Dinner was lobster tail and steamed vegetables... I steamed the vegetables
with a little water, some olive oil, and garlic salt.
Cut the lobster tail down the top back, pull out the meat, set on top of
the shell, brush with clarified butter and sprinkle with paprika (or bacon
salt!) and bake at 400ยบ 16-18 minutes.
Stir the remaining butter to incorporate the fat and use it for dipping...
you could also grate in a little lemon zest! I mixed mayonnaise with lemon juice
for my dipping sauce. Mmmmm.......
Then it was the "usual"... chair, wine, and I would have watched more TV
but the danged box and controller wouldn't work. Will call DirecTV today.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Monday. Ciao
