Alpaca Burger Forum: Pretty Things

Enough of the war and bombs and bad guys. Enough I say. That is not why I blog.

I blog...because I love.

Without further ado, then, I shall don my smiley face shirt and sparkly-rimmed pink sunglasses, and take you on a brief tour of my real life shorn of all false bravado.

This is our cherry tree.

Pretty, huh?

One day we were watering our hanging plant and guess what we found inside?

Can you imagine such a thing?

You can probably guess what we found in there a few weeks later.

These are house martins (obviously the first one already took off).

Moving on now from the cute to the ridiculously cute, we check in on the puppy project.

That faint sound you hear is people all over the world who just joined you in saying, "Awww!"

Would you like to see another one? Sure you would.

(They're even cuter in person, FYI.)

This thematic oscillation reveals the inner truth of this blog: Deport the Muslims...puppies; loose the dogs of war...puppies; nuke our enemies...PUPPIES! Embracing both extremes is the yin and yang, the happy middle ground, of existence.

I'm pretty sure this makes me a moderate.

We'll end on a high note. Any of you bad mo-fo's may want to cover your eyes because this next one is hyper-cuteness of a degree it might screw with your head, make you giggle like a girl and leave you weeping on your Mac-5. Your homeys don't need to see that.

Oh, and clicking to enlarge any of the above is a perfectly normal human reaction and in no way reflects on your manhood. To observe is scientific, that's all.

Hey Carin, thanks for stopping by. We only have one mosque in this area that I know of; unfortunately it's about a mile from my house. The better to keep an eye on them, I guess. But it is VERY subdued architecturally. It's huge but could easily pass for an office building. That was the basis of my comment re: Ohio - gold domes, etc.: Rube that I am, I'm not used to seeing mosques that look like something out of the Middle East. I don't get why we put up with people who support Hezbollah even being here. It seems like we could take whatever money we're spending defending Muslims in places like Bosnia and buy a few 757s to set up a one-way shuttle service from JFK airport to Riyadh or Damascus.

Days late, many dollars short, but wanted to comment that those mosques (at least the one visible from 75) has been there ... maybe 20 years? I used to see it on my trek to Miami (of Ohio). The mosque in Detroit which is the scariest (the Imam supports Hezbollah- he is a Shia from Iran) is an old Christian church. The irony of which does not escape me.

Oh Debbie, I'm sorry to hear that about your dog! They can be amazingly resilient - I hope she pulls through. Wow, mosques in Ohio. Sounds like something out of Age of Tolerance (by the way thanks for recommending it - I read it almost straight through!) I'll look forward to reading more about your trip.

Oh the puppies are so cute, and the last one is smiling for the camera. We just got back in town, picked our puppies up at the vet. Unfortunately our black lab has a kidney infection and also has heart failure. We have her on meds. She is such a good dog. When my husband fell and broke his hip, she went over to him and sat behind him so he could prop up on her until the ambulance arrived. You would be shocked at the huge mosques I saw in Ohio of all places. Right on the interstate, gold domes, spires, crescent/star on top of each spire. Scary.

Yes, I was going to start a new puppy-photo blog called "MuslimsHatePuppies.com" but I thought that would cancel out the soothing effect.

Even the opposition loves puppies - The 'mild' hint of an extremist view has left-wingers reeling from your blog, but then crawling back for one last glimpse of the newborn pups. I can't think of a better way to soothe our political differences!
