Yes, I know how to spell it. Now that we have all that cleared up, here’s today at random:

The 70’s were disgusting. Ugly and putrid. I remember. In fact, at the time I used to ask my mother why I had to wear orange corduroy’s instead of pink. (Orange is ugly, while we’re on the subject.) The subject is - the new Mustang. Gross. Take it back to the 70’s and leave it there. Saw one today and nearly wrecked my car.

The praying lady from last week’s blog wasn’t as bad today. As - ass, what’s the difference? Anyway, she didn’t pick on me so much, except that she came by and saw the picture I was painting from and said “Whoa, for a minute I thought that was your painting, and I was about to say that it was really looking good.” Now, that’s not so bad. Bad delivery, but not so bad in itself. She was rude to Doug again, though. He’s a kind man and usually puts out your easel and table for you if you are late. Well, she comes in and Doug, being left-handed, has put her table on the left side of her easel. What response did this invoke? “DOUG! I’m RIGHT handed!” Yup, she yelled it - but with a sardonic smile on her face . . .

Was listening to “Head Like A Hole” on the way home from I-HOP tonight and I had to laugh at how hard core I used to think it was. Now Lincoln Park is top 40 . . .

Is an opossum cute? Most people would probably blanch at the thought, but they didn’t see the one my husband almost ran over tonight. He hit the brakes just in time. When we stopped the opossum looked up at the head light like he had never seen such a thing and quizzically cocked his head in wonder. Then he started to go in front of the car and then shook his head as if to say “Nope, that won’t do”, turned around, looked up at the lights again “What is that confounded thing?” and then waddled back to safety. Befuddled opossums are cute. Now, as we turned the corner we encountered a raccoon, and the crafty little bugger shot off as fast as his little legs could carry him. So then the question: are raccoons smarter than opossums, or more chicken?
