While walking the bad dog past the Springfield (Pa) Post Office this afternoon, an old fellow who just left the building unsolicitedly asked me how I liked global warming. He said climate change was “bullsh*t”. He told me the polar bears were breeding like rabbits.
I had to agree. I told him it was just people looking for our money.

Cessie Giuliano, the former photo editor of the Press papers has been named Best Niche Photographer for Main Line Times Best of issue. Frankly, the award is not quite accurate. She’s the best photographer in the state, if not the entire Northeast, if not the country.
Cessie’s new vocation is taking very tasteful ’40s and ’50s pin-up shots of women who are often getting them as presents for their husbands and boyfriends, often servicemen.

A sweet petite seven-year-old girl I know is taking karate lessons. She’s quite proud of what she knows and makes sure she shows her new moves to her father when he comes home from work.
Well, after one recent demonstration she goes to wash up for bed when she remembered she forgot one.
“Daddy, Daddy, wait.”
She runs from the bathroom, grabs Daddy by the shoulders and knees him squarely in the groin.
Daddy says his laughing alternated with the gasping.
