Honestly, I think about this quote all the time lately, especially on social media: "Better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt."

They were indeed!

Me every afternoon at 2 P.M., back when I was a corporate drone and had gone out for a nice lunch* with a friend or co-worker(s).

*which sometimes, but not always, included a cocktail or glass of wine. 🤪

Nowadays it's just me and my two sisters; one is apolitical and uninformed while the other, and her husband, are staunchly liberal. The uninformed sister almost never weighs in when the talk veers to the political so we usually have a very pleasant time together. 😁

Including the little fly is such a C17 touch, isn't it? Delightful!

My father was a commercial artist who delighted in drawing caricatures (and every year he did hilarious ones of our family to have printed as Christmas cards).

So yours always bring a smile to me, both because of my dad and because yours are so enjoyable. Thanks!

I love Joy to the World but yeah, we did sing it in church every Christmastime—even (especially!) when I was ward chorister or ward music director (which I think it was they call it nowadays).

I never did like "chorister" as that sounded like member of a choir.

I do hope you'll add this one to your list, if it isn't already on it. A huge favorite of mine!

Yeah, I didn't have a chance to report it to 311 this morning but I plan to next time. And I'm pretty sure there will be a next time.

Good idea, I have the 311 app, which allows you to include photos. If it's still there this afternoon (or tomorrow morning) that's just what I'll do.

It was also blocking the sidewalk yesterday but Dottie needed supervision so I didn't think of reporting it!
