I was really confused when I turned on the Sox earlier, I was like, "That's a new alternate, I like that red." only to discover it was the Blue Jays wearing red shirts in honor of Canada Day. So, happy Canada Day to all our friends up north, sorry the Sox couldn't give you a win to celebrate your day. Yeah; but could you lay off the celebratory bonfires? It's a little hazy down south!

So, I give my cats little treats, a couple of times a day. They go crazy for them and they help prevent them from getting hairballs. My male cat, Derek (the Cleric)..... (notice the white spot, like a priest's collar?) ...especially goes nuts for them and acts like a heroin addict about to get a fix (except even a junkie doesn't rub up against the syringe, like Derek does the treat package). I lay out some nuggets for him and Aja and Aja vacuums hers up in one go (I usually give them about 5 nuggets). Derek actually chews; but, he always hops up on the coffee table, in the living room, to receive them and then he more often than not nudges them onto the floor, where they bounce off the carpet and disappear under things. He goes hunting like the addict he is and half the time, I can't find the missing nugget. If I do find it and put it back, he nudges another off. Even a junkie doesn't go dumping his fix on the floor, recover it and do it again. In the words of Hank Hill....

Ted Lasso is a great show. I highly recommend it. As stated, Season 1 is just on a level of its own. Phenomenal writing and characters.
Season 2 was still very good, and I'd say perhaps funnier. Not as deep/inspirational, but still good.
Season 3 was enjoyable. It had some good character beats. It was a fine enough ending. I tend to dislike endings, and I didn't hate it, so that's a win in my book. Still a good show. Just not AMAZING like season 1.
All around, it's a very good show and well-worth watching.
Roy Kent season 2 is my hero.

Something that does not inspire confidence: ever since I subscribed to McAfee's anti-virus services, my e-mail account has been flooded by phishing attempts falsely claiming to be from the company. Some are clumsy and amateurish, but others are pretty darn convincing. It seems clear that as soon as McAfee gets your email address, that info is readily available to the world at large. Talk about an ill-shod cobbler! I stopped using anti-virus software about five years back. I still utilize Malware protection (Malabytes freeware has been enough for me), but it seems like viruses are less a thing in the age of the smart phone. Perhaps this is a circumstance in which the medicine poses a greater threat than the disease. More like 10 years for me.. why write a virus when you can just call the person on the phone and convince them to buy you gift cards? Also, Ted Lasso doesn't tempt me in the tiniest bit. Being on Apple is a deal breaker, but even if it was easily available I'm not sure I could muster any interest.

Happy 4th of July to our southern neighbours ...or, as some of we Yanks refer to it, Happy Drunk Morons Armed with Explosives Day!
Cei-U! I summon the earplugs and fire extinguisher!

There were a bunch of churches in my area that were doing celebrations with hot dogs and fireworks
God, Hot Dogs, and Fireworks, how much more American can you get?

Bought some Blue Bunny Chocolate Soft-Serve from Walmart earlier and I'll be damned if it doesn't taste almost exactly like a Frosty from Wendy's

Hoo-boy, a supervisor at work was working by herself on Sunday afternoon and she ran out of the floor terrified because she got a heavy perfume scent and horrible feeling that she wasn't alone.
Others chipped in with their experiences. Another supervisor saw a file throw itself off the wall. Another saw an office calculator suddenly start to operate itself (the tape began to printout and move although no one was by the desk).
My own weird experience. I went in on a Saturday afternoon when I knew I'd have privacy (I still get to work from home so they keep covid cases at work to a minimum, so I mostly go in when I have to use the software to do reports). I got to my desk, sat down....and the radio directly opposite me suddenly turned itself on. I was not scared, I got up, bent over the desk, pointed and told it to kiss my a-- and went to work.
I know something is there, just don't know what, but I'm glad others have experienced something odd too, to the point they get up and leave.

I would scoff derisively had I not grown up in a haunted house.
Cei-U! I summon the (harmless) old man in the attic!

Yeah, I don't believe in ghosts either. On an unrelated note, my father left me two voicemails right after he died...
