At
the time of this morning’s pawing, I’ve had just the one margarita. As many of
you may also reason, my sun is over the yardarm somewhere. On a normal day, this liquid indulgence would
be a tad early for me but lately I’ve been under some stress. If you read my
previous blog, you know arrival here was not a July picnic in Montana. Well, we
survived that “tough trip to Tubac” and began to settle into a lovely rhythm,
which served me nicely for a few days. Then Annie disappeared into that abyss
called the Tubac Art Festival. One week of discovery and success for her but
one week alone with clarko for me. Certainly the reassurances and bribes from
Annie as she walked out the villa door in the morning were appreciated. But
after that..oddness and silence. Clark
did a sing along with Pandora and mimicked John Denver, Buck Owens, Aretha, and
of course, Marty Robbins. Thinly masked
entertainment always brings me to my knees. And this was only the
beginning. Clarko is compulsive about
the bowel movement, mine that is. For
you readers, know that I require no assistance in this arena. I feel clarko
lacks a basic trust in what I control.
This is how it generally unfolds: We go to the back yard. I observe that
he has two Safeway baggies in his rear pocket presumably for my detritus. He
barks a few shouts of human encouragement for me to do something, and I cannot
produce… much like a farmer with a bad crop.
At this stage of my life if you can’t do it, you don’t produce it. We head back into our villa and I’m thinking,
I’d rather poo on the carpet than surrender my free will.
Oh
my, I suspect I’ve ventured into the world of national politics with my
expressions. I used to be a democrat
kind of Bostie back in another day although I never officially registered. So
many of us don’t want to be registered. Nor do I wear my tags well. Annie puts
them on me when we go through Border Security, for my own protection I
guess. Generally, I simply dislike being
put into a category, even one that says I’ve had my shots and am not a threat
to national safety. Some of you may have recently viewed my image on Face book
or wherever Annie chooses to toss me. I say
right here on social media that my hairline, like Donald’s is genuine. In fact,
I assert that you can easily view more of my frontal lobes than Donald’s.
Surely you remember from your reading of psychology today that the lobes govern
stuff like judgment, problem solving, speech, etc. Since these are valuable
assets for any president I assert that candidates should be required to expose
their frontal lobes so we can all see what the old control panel looks like. My
final observation of the day is offered in defense of my friend, the duck.
There are many of them in the pond near where we live. Mostly, they play happily
together in the pond, keep to themselves, pleased with the sun and water, and
are appreciated by people who like green grass, which the ducks help fertilize.
No duck ever did me any harm. Just remember as the crazy days approach, a vote
for Donald is not a vote for a duck.
Happy
trails,
