Morning Searchers,
Ken-Dogger: Hey BooBoo, what ‘cha doing?
BooBoo: Hey Bro, looking at that crack…
KD: Which crack?
BB: That one over there, by the door, where the light is…
KD: You know, LC once said, “There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.”
BB: And LC is?
KD: Sheesh, Leonard Cohen…How quickly our Icons fall from view.
BB: There IS a crack in everything…
KD: Then, let’s keep searching for the LIGHT, so we can let it in.

Ken-Dogger: What you got there Lilly?
Lilly: Uh, a hammer…You don’t recognize a hammer?
KD: No, I know it’s a hammer, but why?
L: I watch, I listen…It’s just I see a whole lot of force in the World.
KD: Force?
L: Yep, peeps don’t seem to work things out anymore, we just f o r c e stuff.
KD: Oh, so the hammer helps in the application.
L: If we’re gonna force stuff, let’s at least have the right tools.
KD: Not really sure that’s gonna do it.

Morning Resolvers,
Ken-Dogger: Oh my, someone has their angry face on this morning.
Shuffles: Dude, I’m pissed.
KD: Really? What up?
S: You see that ad promoting vaccinations, it says ‘stick it to your enemy’
KD: Yes, saw that, it’s a play on words, I think.
S: There are better plays, why do we need such ‘pitched’ terms?
KD: Battle lines being drawn, everybody says they are right.
S: They can’t all be…Who will decide?
KD: Hopefully, people will, not guns.

B: I think you're right Cletus, and they call us brutal.
C: You know it, it's always someone else's fault.

KD: Okay, and why?
B: Well, remember when he says “You’re damn right I did”
KD: Yes, Ol’ Jack thought he had moral authority over regulations.

Roosevelt: Hey Dogger, what’s a standard?

Ken-Dogger: Morning Flash
Flash: Hey Bro, did you see they think Laundrie was found.
KD: Still have to do forensics, maybe all this media will die down.
F: Cracks me up how we cite one case when there are hundreds.
KD: Media tends to report the stories they think will grab peeps.
F: Wow, and now in 24/7 coverage, it’s just story feeding.
KD: So, maybe we need less reporting and more fixing.
F: Dude, we definitely need more fixing, it’s always been about the fixing.
Morning Peeps,
Ken-Dogger: Morning Liz
Liz: Please don’t call me that, the name isn’t resonating now.
KD: Oh, the Truss reference, I see.
L: Yep, she resigned, the very next day after she said she was remaining.
KD: Well, what’s it gonna be Dog?
L: Seems it’s more than just breaking the Glass Ceiling.
KD: You gotta have some substance too…
L: I’m afraid “We’ve been Trussed” will now enter the lexicon.
KD: And this will be used to deny more women chances.
A Pups Reminder on Abundance...
Ken-Dogger: Hey guys, I hope you're not fighting over that 1 stick?

A JFK Pups Memory for ya...
Morning Doers,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Pedro
Pedro: Dude, you see these leaves fallin’?
KD: Yes, beautiful colors, huh…
P: Well, nature seems to be doing her part to keeping things moving.
KD: Nature follows laws, it understands the risk of no action.
P: I think JFK once said, “There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long-range risks of comfortable inaction.”
KD: Hopefully, peeps start understanding more of what he’s saying.
