POUNCING ON FEAR
Morning Peeps,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Hannibal, what up with you?
Hannibal: Dude, I’m a tad freaked
KD: What is it this time?
H: I can’t tell if I’m awake or a woke.
KD: Seems we’re getting some stuff confused. There’s a physical part (awake) and there’s a mental part (woke). You get it now?
H: So the physical part and the mental part are separate?
KD: No, they blend…it’s just the mental part scares the bejeezus out of some folks.
H: And Peeps love pouncing on fear.
FINDING BALANCE

IN MY OWN WORDS
Ken-Dogger: Hey Max, what ya doing?
Max: I'm reading this report, I gotta write a summary
KD: I think a summary was already written, why don't you use it?
M: I think it has more meaning when it's in my own words
KD: That’s your justification...
M: Seems to carry the day these days
REMEMBERING ONE OF OUR OWN
Ken-Dogger: Morning Beau…How you doing?
Beau: I’m sad Bro, because you’re sad.
KD: Well, lost a good friend yesterday, never met her but She was dear in her words and kindness online.

WE NEED TO KEEP LOOPING SOME LESSONS
Ken-Dogger: Hey Cam, good morning.
Cam: Morning Bro, I was wondering about today’s lesson.
KD: Already, you’re worried about learning this early.
C: This home schooling now is intense, it doesn’t end, and these new teachers think everything is a lesson.

C: Enter Golf…
KD: Bingo…Enter Golf

Potus: Yep, gonna be epic, Scrotus get up here
Scrotus: I want no part of this
Flotus: Okay, I'll distract KD while you two go for the cookies...
Scotus: If we get into a legal matter, I got you covered
Potus: I'll simply deny it
Scrotus: You see why I'm hangin' back...
Ken-Dogger: Morning Rona, you howling this morning?
Rona: I am Bro, not happy…
KD: What gives Rona? You’re usually quite the spirit in the AM.
R: Bro, it’s my name, this Corona stuff goin’ ‘round, and some peeps just call it the RONA. It ain’t right Bro.
KD: Lot of things ain’t right right now, what would you have me do?
R: Tell ‘em to stop, it’s hurtful.
KD: We’ve got bigger fish to fry right now Rona, how ‘bout we deal with that first.
R: They got to you didn’t they?
Morn,
Ken-Dogger: Morning Clarice
Clarice: Hey Bro…These deals are going sour
KD: What deals?
C: Well, Foxconn now…Come in like gangbusters and leave like wimps.
KD: Project has been scaled back to 10% of proposal.
C: But the Locals did all this improvement costing millions.
KD: Most pols are still MALE, so it’s always about the launch, never about the sustainment.
C: Which leaves We Peeps to deal with the aftermath.
KD: Same pols keep getting elected, again, herald the launch.
