There is a special place in my heart for the Circus Circus in Las Vegas, and I don't mean indigestion. We have spent many happy hours there,...

■ 7/4 Teresa says some dude blew his thumb off, but I don't know where. That dude will never hitchhike again!
■ A "Life hacks" email I get says to relieve headaches, eat a teaspoon of mustard! Can you imagine? Maybe Grey Poupon will do something for constipation? ("poupon")
■ I cleared the bathroom sink drain with Liquid Plumber. It was very effective, but now the bathroom smells like a poorly run municipal swimming pool.
■ HOW DO DOGS TELL TIME- Our dog has a huge appetite, the vet advised us to give him a mid-day treat of frozen vegetables, which we do at 2:30- Now the dog pokes me with his nose PRECISELY at 2:30 every day. It makes me wonder what other things he can perceive that I cannot.?
■ Sept. 11 2023 ANACORTES WA • Anonymous party called stating that an elderly female neighbor was beating several carbon monoxide detectors with a hammer. Officers located smoke detectors in the garage smashed next to a frying pan with bacon in it. The homeowner stated she was cooking bacon and all the alarms started going off. (Don't they have reset buttons?)
■ More warped prose in this old Stephen King book; "Opal! Diamond! Sapphire! Jade! I smell Gary's Lemonade!" I wonder what his parent-teacher conferences were like?

"By continuously authenticating your workers’ identities by the way they type on their devices, ActiveLock mitigates threats that arise with remote work such as fraud, device sharing, and unattended devices — giving you peace of mind that only trusted users are accessing your company’s computers."
GEEZE LOUISE I am SO GLAD that I am retired, discarded from the rat race back when rats stood a chance of winning.
■ I have half a mind to make some Jello, but put grapes, carrot peels, and other kitchen castoffs in it. Like they do at the juvenile detention facility.
