Squirrels in The News

You may have seen a few weeks ago that some poor woman was kicked off a flight because of her emotional support squirrel.  How heartless!  I caught the link below about death from eating squirrel brains.  I implore all my upstate NY pals, which are legion, to stay away from squirrel meat entirely.  I was trying to find a Letterman clip on YouTube in which he talks about seeing a squirrel in Central Park salting his nuts, but I came up blank.  As my bud JS might say to all this, that’s nuts.

JS was featured for the first time in my last post, along with MT.  These are their initials, since whatever little creativity I once had in creating blog names is in the distant past. I’ve been at this since 3/1/06, when I was still in my hale and hearty 40s, so you will have to forgive me.

A headline last week from my favorite magazine, Cosmopolitan, was "Wait, Was Taylor Swift at Karlie Kloss' Wedding Yesterday?" Apparently not, since Taylor was in Australia.  But Karlie says, "Taylor and I are still really good friends.", which I am sure comes as a great relief to all of you.

Lady Gaga borrowed David Byrne’s big suit, which supposedly allowed her to “take the power back”. I guess so, if you can avoid tripping over those big cuffs. They say she was great in a recent re-make of a re-make of A Star Is Born.  As usual, I’ll consider it when it comes out on PPV.

OK, more recent hits from Highland Mills, NY. Stay away from the squirrels and keep them coming. FYI, this is what will be my emotional support animal going forward.
