IT FREES OR IT ENSLAVES
Ken-Dogger: Well Dobber, what you got yourself into this morning?
Dobber: This corner, they're closing in...they have me surrounded
KD: Dude, the cats tell me you've made up some stories about them
D: I may have taken some liberties with the telling
KD: The truth always comes out
D: Not before I exhaust all other possibilities
KD: Dobber, know this...the truth will set you free or enslave you, the choice is yours...
KNOW LOVE...
Ken-Dogger: Hey Buddy, how's it going this morning?
Buddy: Going well KD, I'm gonna stay right here with you.
KD: Why is that? You're not going off to play?
B: Naw, I want you to know how much I love you.
KD: Buddy, I know, and you know I love you too.
B: I do, but I always think I don't give enough back.
KD: You always give love, you know no other way...
Utahn Life...
Deseret for donations, Albertsons for shots (ouch), then Snow Canyon State Park for hiking the Johnson Canyon Trail...54 degrees and lovely.
AGAIN THIS YEAR, HE STAYED AWAY FROM THE ROASTER
Ken-Dogger: Morning Clive, you know it’s Thanksgiving right?
Clive: I do Bro, gonna watch the Mikster cook all day long
KD: And smell the smells?
C: Particularly the smells, they MOVE me…
KD: Can I lay some advice on you about today?
C: Sure Bro…
KD: You MIGHT want to change how you’re lying around, and definitely stay away from the Roaster
C: Thanks Bro, Happy Thanksgiving everyone
STILL WASHING AWAY
Ken-Dogger: Hey Jocko, what up?
Jocko: Checkin’ out the moon Bro and getting ready for the Beaver Moon.
KD: Beaver Moon, those two words aren’t usually used together.
J: Bro, it’s a partial eclipse Silly, where is your mind?
KD: Oh…tell me more
J: It’s from the Algonquins, it’s a November Full Moon, and Sunday Night we get an eclipse.
KD: A full eclipse would help us wash 2020 away.
J: Dude, it’s just partial, we aren’t that lucky.
FIGURING OUT ENOUGH
Morning Seasoned Peeps,
Ken-Dogger: Gilberto, what is up?
Gilberto: Thought I’d take Lucy for a spin…
KD: Umm, you know it’s like in the 30s out there.
G: Oh, no…didn’t factor that in. Maybe just necking on the porch then…
KD: Really? Not sure why you’re confused…
G: Dude, there are no discrete seasons anymore, we roll from one to the other.
KD: Does seem that way, consumption drives us…
G: Maybe we need to figure out what we have is enough.
WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN ON A CONTINUUM...
From Pedro X Molina
“Growing expressions of antisemitism and Islamophobia in different parts of the country have caused tension, fear, abuse and even cost some people their lives. Both are expressions of the same hatred. The one shared by people who believe they are superior to others or who are afraid of others for being different. It is necessary to banish extremism and fanaticism from our lives if we really want to make it worth living.”-PXM
What up Nauts, Giving Tuesday, let me know if you need the digital code for deposits to my savings account. Thanks, in advance...
QOTD:
Why aren't we referring to the US GOP as the TORCH PARTY?

THE WONDERS OF UTAH
Capitol Reef National Park may be the most underrated national park in Utah. This park has so many incredible things to do and see, including my personal favorite — the Fruita orchards. It is much quieter and less busy than other Utah parks and it is packed with history. It is also home to stunning landscapes, including one that is rugged, remote, and looks like it was ripped straight from a painting — Cathedral Valley.
FAT AND BLOATED
Ken-Dogger: Morning Flo, Morning Jo…You look how I feel.
Flo: Hey Dogger, I be full.
KD: Umm, Flo, it is I am full.
Flo: You too? What about Jo?
KD: Jo looks as full as you and I do.
Jo: Guys, have you seen the moon this morning?
KD: No, why?
Jo: Moon must have been thanksgiving too, it looks flat and bloated this morning.
Flo: It’s just seeing the earth’s reflection…
KD: More so today, than most other days…But you’re right, the Earth remains fat and bloated.
COME DANCING...
Morning Peeps,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Tom-Tom
Tom-Tom: Quite a spread the Mikster laid out yesterday.
KD: It was, I’m still stuffed…but it was also great conversation with family and friends.
T-T: I hear that.
KD: It’s nice to share laughter around food, brings joy to the stomach.
T-T: It cracked me up when Ken and B.A. started dancing.
KD: It made me think perhaps we don’t get old; we just stop dancing.
T-T: Dude, you gotta keep dancing in your life.
DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL...PARTICULARLY IF IT'S A MALE NEEDING DIRECTION
Ken-Dogger: Petie, how you doing this fine morning?
Petie: Well, I've been out walkin', I don't do that much talkin' these days...these days I seem to wander a lot
KD: Hey boy, just remember all who wander are not lost.
P: Dude, but I was, I wandered and I freakin' got lost.
KD: You were in our neighborhood; we didn't you just ask?
P: Dude, you get that I'm male right?
A thank you to Buck Owens
I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see
I won't be much when you get through with me
Well, I'm losing weight and I'm turnin' mighty pale
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
Well, I thought the day I met you, you were meek as a lamb
Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans
Now, the pace we're livin' takes the wind from my sails
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
Ray Charles Bird:
HIT THE ROAD JACK, AND DON'T YOU COME BACK, NO MORE, NO MORE, NO MORE, NO MORE...
Playin' a perfectly good air quitar
