Coolio: Ken-Dogger, dude, ya gotta get your lawyer smarts on and spring me...
KD: Coolio, I'm workin' here, but wheels of justice grind slowly
Coolio: Dude, there are some weird dudes here, they're lookin' at me funny, man...
KD: They always look at the fresh meat, you might need a diversion
Coolio: Well, lookie here, Hey Paul, Hey Michael, welcome to Newbie Land...Make the wall your friend dudes
SOME HAVE IT WRAPPED UP
Ken-Dogger: Hey Poncho, why the look?
Poncho: Are you going back? Are you getting back on that saddle?
KD: Whatever are you talkin’ ‘bout?
P: Dude, your gym, those weights are screamin’ for activity.
KD: I worked out a couple of times last week, was doing other stuff.
P: The question remains…Back on the saddle?
KD: Geez, you’re persistent…
Yes, I’ll get there tomorrow, you just watch.
P: I will, I don’t need it…I got ‘cute’ all wrapped up.
Morning Peeps,
STILL FIGURING IT OUT
Ken-Dogger: Morning Gru, in a book already?
Gru: Yep, looking up warranty, need to know my rights.
KD: Your rights? What are you worried about?
G: Love, actually…I want guarantees, I don’t want promises.
KD: Well, I’m warranting you, you’ll get the love.
G: Is that a guarantee or a promise?
KD: I promise you are guaranteed love, at all times.
G: You just say that cause I’m cute.
KD: No, I say it because I finally figured out what love is.
GIVING SHELTER FROM THE STORM
Peck: She looked at me and I knew.
Heck: What is he talkin' 'bout now?
Peck: Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved, Everything up to that point had been left unresolved...Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm
Heck: "Come in, I'll give you shelter from the storm"
(homage to Mr. Dylan)
ASSESSING RISKS
Ken-Dogger: Morning Dano, what up?
Dano: Wondering if it’s safe to venture more outside.
KD: Lot of things risky now, but I’m here…I’ll help you.
D: I hear airplane travel is safer than peeps think.
KD: Due to the air filtration already in place?
D: Yep, and keeping a distance between, and oh yeah, wearing a mask.
KD: You flying?
D: Not until we have more peeps pulling together in unison, I’ll take a risk, but I ain’t crazy.
KD: Yes, when chances are less risky.
IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT COORDINATING THE HELP
Morning Shapers and Coordinators,
Ken-Dogger: What’s up Brad?
Brad: Hey Bro, I’m turning this into a ball.
KD: Good Luck
B: Come on Dogger, where’s your faith? It’s just shaping behavior.
KD: And you’re trying to reshape it on your own. You’re gonna need shaping skills and some coordinated help to get it done.
B: I got the skills, just need to coordinate the help.
KD: Don’t we all Brad, don’t we all…
CHOOSING THE FISH WE FRY
Morning Normalizers and Others,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Cleo
Cleo: Hey Bud, you’re back from Vegas…
KD: Yep, dropped off our guests, but we got to do the strip again.
C: You were…Stripping?
KD: Come on Cleo, we were walking the famous Vegas Strip.
C: Got to see the sights and feel the excitement.
KD: Seems almost back to normal, save for the masks.
C: Masks may be our future.
KD: So be it, there are bigger fish to fry.
Morning Peeps,
Speaking of Chains...
The US GOP willfully and deliberately chained themselves to this ILK.
Up to them to figure out how to get unchained.
Continuing with the Series on the Confluence of Medical Science and US Government Policy...
76 gloriously sunny, mellow day in God's country...Slow blues on Spotify, starting golfers on one of the most beautiful courses in Southern Utah, and appreciating my many blessings. Thank you Mikster
A REMINDER...
Keep your wits about you, don't let yo' head get too BIG...
WE NEEDED THE COORDINATION
Ken-Dogger: That’s a sight this morning.
Flootie: What you talkin’ bout, Willis?
KD: Name’s not Willis…What’s the occasion?
Tootie: We’re coordinated…we’re in for the long run.
KD: You’re the Witches of Eastwick, that’s what you are.
Rootie: Naw Dude, we read that the more coordinated you are, the more you’ll get through the RONA.
KD: Coordinated action, silly, coordinated action.
F: You’re calling us silly, you’re the ones who need the coordination.
More than liking, I'm loving the 70s
Morning Ageless Wonders,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Cleo, what’s up?
Cleo: Dude, watchin’ you move, I wanna see what 72 looks like.
KD: It looks good, a step slower, but still good.
C: I’ll be the Judge…
KD: So, what’s the call?
C: It’s only been a few days, what kind of sample is that?
KD: A Few Days Sample?
C: Dude, early signs are you are still thriving.
KD: Survivin’, Thrivin’, and Jivin’…I’m gonna like the 70s.
PLANNING FOR A LOT MORE CLEANING AND JERKING
Ken-Dogger: Butkus, you're lookin' all security-like this AM, what gives?
Butkus: Heard they were snatchin' clearances from Righteous Americans...
KD: Yep, Undude at it again, distractions carry the day, don't ya just know it...
Butkus: Dude, tell the Undude to come closer, I'll show him what a clean and jerk feels like...
We, most of us anyway, love to be involved and included in activities...
Today is #caturday
As such, Tiger and I wanted to get into the spirit.
We might have gone overboard.
WHEN LOYALTY IS A COMMODITY
Morning Peeps,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Topper
Topper: Money, Money, Money…M-O-N-E-Y…
KD: You got to have it huh…
T: I do…The World goes round; money goes with it.
KD: If you want something to happen, follow the money.
T: That’s how we got loyalty in the first place, we bought it.
KD: Turns out when loyalty is a commodity, it goes to the highest bidder.
T: Seems the only way to win is to keep bidding then huh?
KD: It would appear so Topper…
