Waitress: What are you having?
Patron: Ah...Ah...well, just give me two butt nuggets on a raft and wreck 'em.
ADJUSTING
Ken-Dogger: Hey Brutus, what up?
Brutus: Can ears express?
KD: Wha?
B: Well, with these masks, I can’t see your whole face. I was just wondering what to focus on.
KD: Not sure about ears expressing, I guess they can, but the movement seems limited.
B: Well then, how do I know you’re kind when you are wearing a mask.
KD: You know it by how I act, you also know it by my eyes.
B: Ah, the eyes, windows to the soul…Guess I’ll have to adjust.
KD: We all are Brutus, we all are.
There ARE still places where learning and love go together
Morning Peeps...you seen Will?
Ken-Dogger: Hey Oscar, you working?
Oscar: No, I was seeing what you were doing.
KD: I was scrolling through the scores of the Div II/III games.
O: Took you a while, there’s a lot of ‘em
KD: Yes, places where players largely play because they love the game.
O: Wow, there are still places where learning and love go together?
KD: Yes, all it takes is will
O: Well, let’s go find it then…

THIS was a sweet ride; gave up riding to increase my chances for longevity.
GETTING UNSTUCK
Morning Mellow Friends,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Melo, what’s going on?
Melo: Dude, I just stepped in somethin’, not cool.
KD: Then, why are you winking?
M: I’m not winking Bro, I’m showing frustration.
KD: Oh? What frustrates you now?
M: Dude, I should recognize these pitfalls and adjust, will keep my paws cleaner.
KD: Wow, you can make adjustments?
M: Bro, if you don’t adjust, you get stuck.
KD: Melo, teach me how to make that face.
WHAT DOES get out the vote REALLY MEAN?
Ken-Dogger: Hey Puffer, why the long face?
Puffer: Went down to the polling station to vote, they wouldn't let me.
KD: Why? Didn't have picture ID?
Puffer: No Dude, I couldn't remember my street address...peeps knew me there as I had bit a couple in the past, but no vouching allowed.
KD: Damn, they know how to get out the vote don't they?
Puffer: Yea, but GET OUT to them has a whole different meaning...
CONSERVATION...Some don't see the value.
Morning,
Ken-Dogger: Charlemagne, you okay?
Chalemagne: Dude, come on, I’m fine…why you ask?
KD: You’re just up there and not moving.
C: I’m moving, I’m conserving.
KD: Really, you’re going with that?
C: Bro, that’s the trouble with conservation, peeps don’t see it, so they don’t think there is value in it.
KD: It’s just a matter of ensuring something’s left when you need it.
C: Hence, my conserving…
KD: Hence, my understanding.
SOMETIMES, THEY'RE MAN-EATERS, WATCH OUT BOY, WATCH OUT BOY...
Chuckles: Oh here I come, watch out boy I'll chew you up, oh here I come, I'm a man-eater
Ken-Dogger: I wouldn't if I were you (but it does look like you did already), I know what she can do, she's deadly man, and she could really rip your world apart, mind over matter, the beauty is there but a beast is in the heart
Chuckles: The Mikster's not gonna be happy
KD: Not so much...

HEED THE FLOWERS LIFE GIVES YA
Ken-Dogger: A flower Cleo?
Cleo: Yea Boy…I’m bringing you one.
KD: And why is that?
C: Well, I noticed early on, you tended to me, we took long walks, we cuddled…now, not so much.
KD: Well, relationships grow and they change dynamics
C: I want to sing songs again, play again, all the stuff we did when flowers were fresh.
KD: I miss that too…
C: Hence the Flower Bro, heed the Flowers life gives ya…
When you promote doom and gloom, damn if you don't get doom and gloom.
Funny how that works...
BUNDLES OF JOY
Ken-Dogger: Hey guys, you...oops, didn't realize you're still sleepin'
I'm just gonna sit here and watch these two bundles of joy, this is peace for me...
BUILDING KON-TIKI
#pups4peace
Ken-Dogger: Cato, again with the questions…
Cato: How do I become a Kiwi?
KD: A piece of fruit, you wanna become a piece of fruit?
C: No Bro…A New Zealander, you know someone who ‘gets’ managed isolation.
KD: Oh, you mean a country who has a plan, who has used their resources to stop the spread, not to politicize it.
C: Yep, a Kiwi…
KD: They’ve beat it twice now, we haven’t even tried once…Can I be a Kiwi too?
C: I’ve started building Kon-Tiki II…
Morning Indigenous Peoples Day Celebrators,
Ken-Dogger: Morning Trixie
Trixie: Peeps are off today, what’s up?
KD: President Biden declared it Indigenous Peoples Day.
KD: Celebrations remind us of our cultural heritages.
T: We need to celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ contributions to US culture.
KD: They have one of the highest group rates of Military Service, they honor security.
T: And They value a reverence for life.
KD: Perhaps, we should have more of these days.
PROTECTION AIN'T THE SAME FOR EVERYONE
Ken-Dogger: What do you want Cato?
Cato: Oh snap, I forgot that’s a signal to you…
KD: Well yeah, I worked in schools.
C: Okay, so how’s the robbing going?
KD: Robbing?
C: Well, every time you go into a store, you are masking up…just thought it was a stick up
KD: Oh, no, just masking to protect others…
C: I think Jesse James said the same thing…
KD: That was different…
C: Guess protection isn’t the same to everyone
KD: Apparently not.
As Luckovich appropriately depicts...
THIS ELECTION IS OF WOMEN, BY WOMEN, AND FOR WOMEN...
Women will lead us out of this US misery.
