I Wonder Why?

A few moments ago on Fox 61 out of Hartford, they had a live broadcast on the streets of Hartford with a black female reporter. The caption below said, "Communities React To Chauvin Verdict." Apparently only people of color live in what the media calls "communities," I'm not sure what I live in now... in their eyes probably a Klan?

I'd like to see how citizens outside the urban shitholes would react if asked. I have an idea. My personal reaction is I have the same doubts about the fairness of the trial due to external forces (I did not watch or see all the evidence, but I saw enough to have reasonable doubt) as I do concerning the 2020 elections.

HA... Nope

In the wake of the guilty verdict of Derek Chauvin, I keep seeing the George Floyd mural in Minneapolis on TV and noticed the caption at the bottom, "I Can Breathe Now."

Last I checked, even though Derek Chauvin has been declared "GUILTY," George Floyd is indeed still dead, not breathing, and taking an eternal dirt nap with the worms. So... no.

Before you go thinking I am all pro-police... AW HELL NO! When they are doing their jobs properly, yes. Like when they are more like "Peace Officers" than "Law Enforcement," called to investigate a crime or stop one because they happen to be right there. When they are trampling on our rights, enforcing intolerable/unconstitutional acts passed by tyrants, running DUI or seat belt check points, or just being obnoxious pricks, they can go fuck themselves.

Just Wait

If you thought the streets were gonna be on fire with a mistrial or not guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial, just wait until the verdict gets tossed out on appeal.

Fire up the popcorn popper and hang on tight. Its gonna be a hell of a ride.

So I Guess I Need To Shun Subway Now?

Because apparently their new spokes-thing is the anti-American purple haired unpatriotic Team USA women's soccer player Megan Rapinoe. I typically don't care about someone's politics, sexual preferences, or ethnicity unless they put it out there to be their whole identity and persona.  That piece of shit represents the United States on a world stage, and if you can't stand for our flag like a normal human being then fuck you and EVERYTHING you represent, including Subway.

So until that cunt (dick? not sure about relationship roles) is no longer doing Subway commercials, I won't be eating there.

Classic Rhodesian Ridgeback

Eli (named for Eli Whitney) is the 4th Rhodesian Ridgeback we have owned. He will be 1 year old next week.

My handsome boy mugging for the camera

Like his predecessor Ernie that we lost at the end of 2018, this is the favorite spot to be on the couch when I am watching TV. Snuggled up in the crook of my leg resting his head on my knee. In the background at the other end of the couch is my Miniature Poodle boy.

Nothing better than a warm Ridgeback on a chilly and rainy afternoon

I guess his nose got cold because this is what he did right after I took the previous picture.

While Rhodesian Ridgebacks are certainly high drive and energetic dogs, they can also be couch-potato cuddlebugs. He has recently really found his legs and runs super fast. He can outrun but not out maneuver my female Standard Poodle that is his playmate. She gets mad because she can't catch him anymore, and he can certainly catch her. But she is so springy and agile like an NFL running back, that she can bounce far out of his reach in an instant.
