Parking Lot Theatre
At my place of employment, our suite is second from the end of a row of fourteen units. For months now I’ve been trying to avoid this Lexus SUV that insists on parking backwards. There is no reason for it. No, none! He always parks next to me—too close—and since he backs in, I’m always at risk of smacking his…

First Kiss
I don’t know how things are now, when my nieces were starting school in the early 00’s they had homework from day one, including kindergarten.

The Great Fence Project

It Wasn’t Aliens
I’m not the kind to freak out in a crisis, I’m probably too calm. If I happen to be asleep, I’m so completely irrational you should just leave me for dead. Sometime in the wee hours things happened. Boyfriend lives a block over and he said he heard electrical buzzing and saw flashes of light. I assume Maybe witnessed the…

VCA & Corporate Greed
In an attempt to bully customers into buying their more expensive medications, VCA Animal Hospital has changed their policy, effective 05/01/23: you can buy from them, or take a paper prescription to your choice of pharmacies. For people with more than one pet, people who foster, people who simply don’t have time for this aggravation (which includes pretty much the entire pet…

Retractable Leashes
Retractable leashes are great in theory. In practice, they turn dogs into projectiles and their owners into liabilities.
