My mother's expression was "Thank God for small favors". Sometimes little things mean a lot. <br /><br />Another small favor, Trump hates Cali so much we can be fairly sure he won't show up to throw paper towels at us. Maybe he could stay home in the Casa Blanca and throw paper towels at straw Iranians.<br /><br />Who ever thought we'd be down to pining for a Regime of the Generals. ABT, anybody but Trump.<br /><br />Yes, Ron and Dan, a beautiful marriage. I don't know Dan, Ron I know. It would take a good person to write such a work. I don't think anybody could pull it off unless they were able to live up to it -- oh, say, maybe 78% of the time. But how would I know about goodness of person. Whatever it is, RP must have it. Thank God for etc. TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-62969644000052242942017-10-14T14:50:25.471-07:002017-10-14T14:50:25.471-07:00The Ron and Dan collaboration is wonderful.

That's what the disheveled Irishmen lying by the side of the road all say.<br /><br />I would be prone... or more optimistically upright, with a bit of help... to believe every last one of them. <br /><br />(Believing and obeying, alas two different tricks, it is to be feared, said the disheveled Irishman.)<br /><br />The coyote I saw chasing a big deer up the street in the choking smoke last night was, I guess, being perfect, in a hungry smoke-breathing coyote kind of way.<br /><br />Everyone is supposed to be having a N-95 mask now, whatever that is. <br /><br />Fairly certain neither predator nor prey, in said observed incident, was wearing an N-95 mask.<br /><br />Radio says the last N-95 masks were sold out three days ago.<br /><br />Something tells me there will be more N-95 masks manufactured soon.<br /><br />Meanwhile there are those who are making do by wearing a bandanna over the face.<br /><br />I see them out the window, down there in the street, milling about suspiciously, like a perfect stick-up gang. <br /><br />(Also, as nobody else will say anything, let's not round out this generous discussion of the work before acknowledging Dan Hayon's perfect-genius contribution.)<br /><br />(And furthermore, let's make sure not to escape back into silence by making even the slightest passing mention of those Iranian poets and artists also featured here, as they must be perfectly evil... I know this because Donnie, our absolutely perfect leader on the highway to perdition, has told me so.)TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-59191134521738222622017-10-14T05:51:17.042-07:002017-10-14T05:51:17.042-07:00Thanks, Tom.
