“Old Lenny’s dead now. He got bitten by a badger while walking through the river naked one night, and later died of sepsis. Yet as I hit the water, the last thing I saw was his weathered and alcoholic face in my mind, and I knew the old special forces bastard was sending me a message from beyond the grave.” (Abergavenny man Johnny Turnip on his near-death experience.)

News on Parade: Hoser smoke is enveloping much of the US midwest, fire and brimstone is raining on Iran, and Venezuelans are suffering the aftermath of the earthquakes. The MSM and social media spun out because the POTUS dared to utter the words “election fraud.” A rainstorm flooded streets, parking lots and buildings in Cincinnati; the meat storage warehouse in Boyle Heights, CA still smells like rotting death a month after the fire, and it was only 87 degrees in our hallway today.

We now return to our regularly scheduled porch time at whenever o’clock tomorrow pm. BTOBS.

The painting, titled A Golden Retriever at the Museum, depicts Mosser’s golden retriever, Lucas, and it became one of the most widely shared pieces of dog art in internet history.
