Library Interaction: Guard Dog
I approached a woman walking a dog in the library to let her know pets weren’t allowed. Of course, she claimed it was a service animal.
A few minutes later, another patron who had overheard the exchange gestured for me to come over. When I did, he leaned in and said in a confidential tone, “That’s no service animal. That’s a guard dog - because she’s got those huge tits!”
Haha.

Trash Talk: A Wallet's Misadventure at Panda Express
Once, in Panda Express, while I was enjoying a meal
brimming with flavor, I noticed a teenage couple sitting nearby. One of them
had laid their wallet on their food tray and apparently forgot about it because
when they left and proceeded to tidy up their table, the wallet was dumped into
the trash along with the rest of their meal debris. The pair then exited the
restaurant.
My friend exclaimed, “Hey! He just threw his wallet in the
trash!”
Soon after, the teenage duo raced back into the restaurant, panic etched across their faces. The boy, in a moment of brilliant deduction, glanced at the trash can but decided he wasn't the wallet-in-the-trash kind of guy.
A.I. recreation.
Looking back, maybe I should have told them their wallet was in the trash, but, in the moment, I let fate take its course.
The moral of the story? Life's got a twisted sense of humor,
and sometimes, wallets just need a little adventure in the trash can.
A.I. recreation.

Leg Day, Starring Me!
I bought Ericka this set of leggings with my face on them and was a little bit surprised she actually wore them out in public, but she is cool like that.
It got chilly later, so she wore my Misfits hoody too. Looking Good!

Apple Dumpling!
In Colonial times, "Apple Dumpling," is what people would say when they would punch somebody in the nuts as a joke, according to a children's history show I watched.

Oh, Deer
When it's time to decorate for Christmas, I always think, "Deer!"
Since 2015, these deer, and more, have been a staple of my holiday festivities. They fit perfectly on top of a flat screen TV.
