FEATURED Morning Pops!

Oh y'all! Local news was that an office shooting took place and someone was shot. I'm talking headlines here. Garsh, what a violent town I live next to. On the other hand, a dog "accidentally" shot shoppers at a petrol station. Petrol station? Well, that's definitely not local and they should have listed it as allegedly. I can only imagine what caused the dog to snap. Probably a vet visit. I remember taking my last two to the vet and getting their glands cleaned out. One was happy as a lark and the other one unfriended me. Fortunately, my gun was put up.
 
Alright, in Nebraska a dog sets off a loaded shotgun accidentally injuring a driver. Folks, it's clear that dogs are arming themselves. They're mad as heck and not going to take it anymore. Watch your backs around armed pooches.
And don't drive around with a loaded shotgun. Nothing good can happen. Especially if you have a hunting dog in the car. Actually, I assume this was an old pickup truck.
 
More Bear Encounters

I was mowing our yard with my super-duper Stihl zero-turn mower equipped with a "deadman" switch in the seat and an airhorn - both of which become quite relevant as you will see.

Apparently, I startled a bear in the woods near our yard. He or she came walking toward me and I quickly did a zero turn at high speed. Now, the "Deadman"... i was afraid if I turned around to keep an eye on the bear, I might lift a cheek out of the seat and kill the engine. So, instead, I was going flat out beeping the horn.

My wife only caught the tail end of this adventure. She only saw me on the lawnmower frantically beeping. She didn't see the bear. Later, she said that she assumed the beeping was to announce i had finished and was now looking for wifely praise.

LMAO. It's like watching someone when you don't know they're being swarmed by bees.

For some reason I was thinking the dead man switch would eject you just like a pilot. That story was so good, we needed popcorn and a soundtrack. I'm thinking Live and Let Die.
 
Good afternoon, Pops, Coachadoodles and all my rowdy Popsadoodles! Not much going on here. I went to see my doctor last month and she proceeded to go medieval on my buttocks. I decided I could wait a bit before I have to face more of that. I did have a finger that turned suicidal on me. Y'all remember me griping about cutting it, right? After it healed. I was doing some lite yard work and it jumped into my hedge trimmer. Cut in the same spot, too. Last week, I was doing housework and accidentally dropped a glass piece. I had no trouble until that finger found a sharp edge and started bleeding... again. It's behaving now but I'm keeping an eye on it.

I was perusing the interwebs this past Thursday. I glanced at a picture and thought what an ugly woman! Then I pondered why she was on MSN. It turns out she was none other than Tom Brady. I guess he had his face at an odd angle to not be instantly recognizable. I have seen a woman that was so ugly, I nearly threw up when I saw her. No joke. She reminded me of Frankenstein with her sheer size, flat top of her head and scowl. She could hurt me, so I hit fast mosey.

Anyway, I thought I'd share my odd stories and hope someone gets a kick out of them.
