I don’t like to school the “Senior Chief Medical Officer” but will when needed.

I’m frequently pretty saucy to the Chief Environmental Health Officer. Everybody needs to be questioned on occasion.

tcr! tcr! · Sep 7, 2018 at 12:47 pm

I declare on this 7th day of September in this year of 2018 that you be whenceforth the official Chief Saucy Officer.

keamoose keamoose · Sep 7, 2018 at 12:48 pm

I humbly accept.

Yesterday evening at 6:14 PM …

Pearl the cat: Meooooow. Yooooowwwl.

Me: I see your arch-nemisis is outside. Don’t worry, he’ll leave before long.

This morning at 3:36 AM …

Pearl: Meooooow. Yooooowwwl.

Me: SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Me hurls a spare pillow into the darkness.

He might be from Singapore

Audio (MP3): 20180905 - He might be from Singapore

Guys, don’t go south on Randall Road anywhere near Route 64 in St. Charles. It’s been raining, there’s bumper-to-bumper traffic, and your life will be put on hold.

There’s also a weird cat sitting on the east sidewalk looking at me. I think he might be from Singapore. Or Elburn.

Worst still, the 7-Eleven hung up a handmade “NO LOITERING” sign. It’s in bubble letters, too. I hate bubble lettering. 😢

Or Elburn???? Oh my God…I’m still laughing!!!!🤣🤣🤣

sveagrabarek · Sep 5, 2018 at 6:36 pm

Probably elburn. The cats there are very shady.

tcr! tcr! · Sep 5, 2018 at 7:25 pm

So the rumors are true.

Is the kitty ok?

tcr! tcr! · Sep 5, 2018 at 5:29 pm

It was a white cat with black patches and the patches look like dents in his hide from a rough, battle scarred life. I assume he ate all the Bigfoots in his 20s, after he got out of the Cat Marines or wherever they serve.

I guess him to be in his 60s now but I still wouldn’t tangle with him. There was an open can of Hormel Chili beside him and since I didn’t see a can opener around, he must’ve opened it with his teeth. Maybe his claws, too. For leverage.

tamaraholby · Sep 5, 2018 at 5:47 pm

I was born and raised in the birthplace of Hormel. That chili and a can of spam will last forever. Oh and a twinkie

The 7/11 on Randall and 64? Who loiterers at a intersection with no foot traffic? You are right. Stay. Away.

tcr! tcr! · Sep 5, 2018 at 5:10 pm

Oh. I’m sorry. In my haste I forgot to mention the 7-Eleven with the sign is on 64 and 17th, a few blocks east. But the one on 64 and Randall probably has a similar policy. Loiter at your own risk!

Gotta love traffic 😖

tcr! tcr! · Sep 5, 2018 at 5:37 pm

Traffic makes me sadder and also angrier than anything else. Well, I can get pretty angry at the Target/Starbucks people who don’t know how to grind beans for a French Press. I get home and open the bag expecting to see coarsely ground beans and instead see a floury brown powder.

THIS IS NOT A GAME.

So what’s really funny is that I was banned a while back from the “What’s Happening in Geneva” Facebook group for posting similar anecdotes. I was also banned from WH in St. Charles, WH in Batavia, etc. etc.

I’m glad I have a blog because you all deserve to know the real stories.

hodges · Sep 5, 2018 at 5:39 pm

My badge of honor. Banned from Trump Facebook. Oh well. Left what’s happening in st Charles on the basis of meanness and belittling.

hodges · Sep 5, 2018 at 5:56 pm

And. You are funny.

You were banned because your magazine was perceived by Kevin Ketchum to be competition for his local magazines. That’s my guess anyway.

tcr! tcr! · Sep 5, 2018 at 7:27 pm

Yeah, I wanted to leave my magazine out of the story and keep the focus on my personal wit and charm.

Me: It annoys me that I have to trim my nails weekly yet I have to live with the same teeth for more than most of my life.

Me: Why can’t I have replacement teeth every few years and just skip the other nonsense?

Maggie: I see you’ve thought about this.

Me: Yep. It’s the molehills that kill us.

Do you think the new teeth should push the old ones out or you should be able to clip them off, or that you should be able to pull them and then wait for new teeth to come in???

Hater McGhray Hater McGhray · Sep 4, 2018 at 9:16 pm

I would also like to know the answer to this.

tcr! tcr! · Sep 4, 2018 at 9:21 pm

Since the systems are already in place, they can come in like the others did. No need to reinvent the wheel. Or the tooth.

keamoose keamoose · Sep 5, 2018 at 3:41 pm

What if they just kept growing and you had to gnaw on wood to keep them worn down? And also you lived in a lodge made of branches and mud in a lake that you created by building a dam and when you sensed danger you slapped the water with your tail and dove to safety? 🤔

tcr! tcr! · Sep 5, 2018 at 5:12 pm

Would the lodge be close to Louisville, Kentucky?

keamoose keamoose · Sep 5, 2018 at 5:17 pm

It’s your dam lodge, you flood whatever town you want!

tcr! tcr! · Sep 6, 2018 at 8:55 am

I have a vague memory of building a dam of twigs in the drainage ditch behind my dad’s house. I was 11 and not a structural engineer mind you and completely underestimated the force of the current that day.

It should go without saying but I’ll say it anyway. The damn didn’t hold, the twigs and pebbles washed downstream, and I was left with a broken heart. 😢

No lives were lost.

keamoose keamoose · Sep 6, 2018 at 9:27 am

A great tragedy of our times, indeed. Maybe reconsider the whole beaver lifestyle.
