Sally sells seashells…

Your father Werner was a burger server in suburban Santa Barbara,
when he spurned your mother Verna for a curly-haired surfer named Roberta.

Sassy chipmunk

This sassy little chipmunk likes to sit on our fence and chirp at the world.  Here he is in the middle of one of his rants.

Make sure you turn up your volume to hear the barrage of chirps.

Drivers Gone Wild

After tailgating Meghan for the length of our street, over a mile, dumbass passes her on the left when she slows down to make a left-hand turn.

Just tryin’ to drive home, but nooooooo from IdiotsInCars

Notice in the video that a) she’s driving the speed limit, b) her left-turn indicator was on, and c) there’s no right turn anywhere near there – it’s all trees –  so there’s no way the truck’s driver made an honest mistake.

Clothesline

Inflation is high, making electricity expensive.

Our dryer died, I’m lazy, and the repairman is expensive.

But worst of all, humanity is polluting the world in crazy ways.  We collectively need to cut back on how much energy we use so we don’t make the planet uninhabitable for ourselves.  Climate change is expensive.

Enter the humble clothesline.  Two posts and a post-hole digger.  150 feet of cotton rope, three tensioners, and six pulleys.  Fifty clothespins.  About an hour of solid effort.

new clothesline

It’s a small thing, but it neatly solves three problems at once.  Plus, the clothes smell nice afterwards!
