Morning Fans,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Zander, are you laughing?
Zander: I am Bro, seems ESPN got duped by a HS Coach.
KD: I saw that, plays the #1 HS team in the country when they were 0-6 last year, but scored a national TV exposure.
Z: And upset the whole State of Ohio.
KD: What IS the World coming to?
Z: Looks like scam after scam after scam…
KD: The Internet gave us exposure; it didn’t give us brains.
Z: And the ones you all have don’t seem to be capable of analysis.
Morning Peeps,
SOME STUFF DOESN'T STICK
Ken-Dogger: Hey Cato, why the look?
Cato: Dude, just pondering…
KD: Pondering? Not simply thinking, you’re pondering…
C: Dude, it’s more than thinking, it’s careful thinking…It’s consideration, it’s contemplation, it’s cogitation.
KD: Cogitation? Wow, someone get a Webster’s for your birthday.
C: No Silly, I’m just carefully considering my future.
KD: Wow, could you teach this to Humans?
C: It’s been taught, it just doesn’t stick…

M: I hear that, I’m pressin’ records here.
CHASING THE ELUSIVE
Ken-Dogger: Gotta tell ya Crowbar, Out on the new horizon,
You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings, And if the sleep has left your ears, You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow...

TRUITH FLOATING
Ken-Dogger: What you doing Beta?
Beta: Testing Bro, seeing if I can bounce these bubbles…
KD: What kind of bubbles are they?
Beta: Truth Bubbles 2020…
KD: Wha…?
B: Yep, named ‘em because right now truth just floats along, can be gently tossed, but more often just busts and dissipates.
KD: Yep, it’s a 2020 bubble…
THRIVING AND ALIVING
Morning Adaptors and Adjustors,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Snoop
Snoop: Yo Dog, how you doing with the plants?
KD: Huh, not sure what you mean?
S: Well, you’re in a new environment, more heat, less water, are the plants thriving?
KD: They’re adapting, and we’re adjusting spaces. Full-sun plants are often not full-sun plants here.
S: Adaptation and adjustments…
KD: It’s what keeps us all alive.

M: Yes, I’m staying the course…
KD: That’s right, wish peeps would learn from you…there may be obstacles, but you need to stay the course.
M: Instead of being the first one to jump off or seek advantage?
KD: Yes, stay the course for all of us, not just some…
