Those monkeys are in northeast Florida, in the Jacksonville area, 350 miles east of here.

But, if they ever attempt to invade northwest Florida, there's already a plan in place for controlling them. Our congressional district's congressman, rabid Trumpist Matt Gaetz, will simply inform his supporters that the monkeys are Democrats, and they'll all be bush meat before they hit the Walton County line.

By the way, did you notice the totally non-proprietary I-don't-claim-the-son-of-a-bitch way in which I referred to Matt Gaetz as "our congressional district's congressman" instead of "our congressman" or, God forbid, "my congressman"?

I drove by a cow pasture today and there were at least two dozen black vultures hopping around on the ground near the fence. I slowed to see what was happening, figuring some critter had been hit by a car and made it under the fence and into the pasture before expiring. But no! The vultures were snacking on cow pies!

I suppose that those particular cow flops smelled like something buzzards like to eat. In other words, something dead and rotten.

I just thought Mom might like to know that bovine shit is so enticing that even buzzards partake of it upon occasion.

The vultures were probably feasting on undigested bits that that cows ate and passed. Other birds do that as well.

Yes, we made it to the "Academy Awards." Mom embarrassed herself (and me) first by the dress she wore (left over from her 1919 prom but "repurposed" with various slits added and "modesty panels" removed), drinking what was on other people's tables when the waiters refused to serve her more drinks, and kicking and screaming when security was forced to remove her. There were damages from the last and I do hope that the kicks and blows she gave to the security people don't cause lasting damage but I am afraid that she's in for a bit of a jail spell. Calling "GLUON! GLUON! HELP!" didn't help her, but the screams of "What's humping my leg?" only added to the confusion.

I have a poop-eating puppy who positively bounds across the yard when she spots the old Lab taking a dump. And she's the cutest most charismatic DESTRUCTIVE dog I've ever owned. Who I rarely accept kisses from (only if she has been in the house for hours and had time for her breath to clear an a few drinks of water for dilution).

Dog food companies go to great lengths to make their products sound appetizing to dog owners, as if a dog really cares whether its food tastes like filet mignon or plain old hamburger. Why not make dog food in flavors humans wouldn't care for but dogs really like? Like cat poop or deer guts.

Gluon doesn't actually use radioactive elements to glow in the dark. Oh, he/she glows all right, but it's just a side effect. He/she uses the Uranium to wake up in the morning, just like humans use coffee. And the Plutonium is to brush his/her teeth afterwards so he/she won't walk around with Uranium breath all day long.

Gluon burps tiny bits of critical mass from the uranium 235 (s/he prefers it to U238, as it's a "lighter" isotope) and I won't tell you plutonium 239 does, except the result doesn't require a match to create "fire." I'll never forget the time Gluon ate 22 kgs. of plutonium and six kilograms of lithium VI deutride (⁶LiD) and torched a good sized part of the Texas panhandle.

That's the problem, Bee-Dub: false advertising or what we called growing up back on the corn-swept prairies of Illinois, "lyin' through his false teeth." Why, I once looked at a house that was for sale and the ad said that it had "running water." When I went there the water came out of a faucet and didn't run anywhere! It didn't even have shoes! Or the bank that advertised "low interest loans" -- why tell customers that the bank has little interest in lending money when they probably know that already? "Truth in advertising" -- plain old phooey!

Twenty miles or so upriver from Hannibal, Mo. Yup, Sam Clemens' home town. Sam would bring a steamboat in and me and him would go drinkin'. After a while ol' Sam would excuse himself and go visit the "young ladies" upstairs. Then the Civil War started and Sam up and went West with his brother Orion -- plumb lit out fer Nevada Territory. Dunno what ever happened to him...probably fell down a mine shaft cuz he was always pretty clumsy.

Yessiree! My home town is Quincy, Illinois! Founded in about 1832, it's got, well, not everything, but a lot of stuff. It's got a pubic library, a public library, a veterans' home (started in 1886), a riverfront, huntin', fishin', eddykashun institoots (even a kolidj, where I went), a lotsa nice houses that rich folks lived in back in the 19th Century or so. It's got TWO bridges for cars across the river (THE river, the Mississippi,the ONLY river worth talking about), one going to Missouri and one coming back. Heck, it's even got a damn dam! I was borned, raised, edykated, and even went ta war from there.

It's a good place to be from...FAR from.

There are Quincys in several states. They're all presumably named after John Quincy Adams. I guess whoever named them thought "Quincy" had more panache than "John" or "Adams".

We even have a Quincy in Florida. I've been through there a few times, but have never been struck by a compelling desire to stop.

John Quincy Adams must have been pretty highly regarded during his lifetime in order to have all those towns named after him. I don't think he's on many historian's Top Ten Presidents list.

Or maybe the idea of having a president to name towns after was so new that folks jumped at the opportunity, even if he was a lousy president.

At least they didn't name anyplace really important after him, like Quincy, District of Columbia.

Florida! Phooey! Quincy, Illinois has amongst its literary and thespian lights folks like Lucile Vasconcellos Langhanke (who acted under a fake name for some reason, that being Mary Astor) and my friend Roy Brocksmith. And other famous folks, like Paul Tibbets and Ike Samuels. Martin Jones Hawkins was one of those who was chosen for the Andrews Raid, a/k/a The Great Locomotive Chase; he overslept and missed it but was promoted the Sergeant and got the Medal of Honor anyway and he's buried in Quincy. Lincoln and Douglas had one of their debates there. As noted earlier, Sam Clemens visited there many times and sometimes stayed sober! St. Francis Solanus College, later St. Francis College and then Quincy Academy and then Quincy College and now Quincy University (I lived four blocks away) was the alma mater of not only ME but also the Venerable Augustus Tolton -- yes, me and Gus were good friends and often played billiards together after various classes. The town even had a lynching -- about a month after the Civil War ended a self-confessed Missouri bushwhacker named Tom Rose was hoisted by a bunch of recovering Union veterans from the hospitals.

Quincy, Indiana...Quincy, California...Quincy, Massachusetts...Quincy, Washington...Quincy, Florida...Quincy, Michigan -- all trying to horn in on the glory. (Quincy, Illinois, FWIW, is the county seat of Adams County.)

Quincy, WA is on land above the Columbia River and the town grid is Letter streets one way and Number streets the other. The alphabet streets only go up to T. I looked it up, I have been past but not to it, but since Microsoft seems to have set up the largest data center in Quinch, someone travels there on occasion.

And there's this, from Wikipedia:

Although George is the closest town to the Gorge Amphitheatre, Quincy is the closest town that offers services such as motels and a full grocery store. Quincy sees an uptick in population during concerts. Quincy was previously home to Tacos mi Pueblo, one of the most sought-after Mexican restaurants in the area.

The semi-arid climate allows Quincy to go for weeks or months without rain during the summer. This makes nearby water recreation such as Crescent Bar a major draw. Quincy is the closest town with services to Crescent Bar.

Yup. You know we had to have a town of George, Washington. My parents spent some time in that part of the state, but escaped to the West side of the Cascades before I was even aware of what the East side was like. As Dad used to say, "miles and miles of miles and miles."
