Must Be One of THOSE Kind of Days
This photo and the story cracked me up. I can relate because my ex once lost his dentures and by the time his dog was done, it was a whole new set to be ordered. Hope this brings you a grin, my friends.

Cajun Red Beans and Rice
With Andouille sausage, this dish hit the spot for our dinner tonight on Labor Day in the US. I've never tried making this before and got the taste for it many years ago when I lived in Texas near the border of Louisiana. This is a quick version that uses canned red beans. I'll work up to the traditional version and also try the "instant pot" starting with a bag of red beans. The only changes I made in the recipe is that I didn't have any "prepared onion/pepper/celery" product so I sautéd in the pan before adding the sausage. And then I think I cooked the red beans a bit longer so the sauce mixture came out less liquidy (is that a word?) Our new caregiver is from the Philipines and the look on her face to see a dish combining beans with rice! But then she tried it and was very impressed. She says she is learning how to cook American style from me.

If you want to try this, it takes about a half hour for prep and cooking. I use the leftover rice I save in the freezer to move along faster. The traditional recipe, of course, will take a lot longer.

One of my all time favorite actors gone. Peace from Alzheimer’s horror. BTW the article should not have titled with Willy Wonka. Silver Streak or Blazing Saddles or Young Frankenstein please.

This is what Arizona substitutes for public schools
Largest online school has only 1/2 of students passing English and 1/3 passing math. But this is what politicians want here. Meanwhile the state robs public schools.

Scientists unpick how cannabis component may fight psychosis

Good progress BUT I AM CONCERNED That there is a big push to make use of CBD a pharmaceutical control drug to make profit and disallow present legalization policy. Also, people have gotten used to having to find what dose, what form and what products work for themselves. Doctors cannot be advising what will work because they really don’t know. The AMA is all about control and corporations also. Big money guides what we are able to know about any of this. And currently the Trump administration is trying to counter the present positive attitudes towards use of MMJ. It’s all part of a war for and against drugs.

Captain’s Chair for Drew
Since his Neuro physical therapist said he is ready to try to start standing by himself, we got a used chair for him to practice with at the kitchen table.

We've been using a gait belt at all times when Drew has to move or stand. Now he can start learning to go from standing to sitting and vice versa using only his own muscles. Very hard to find a single, sturdy chair with arms to use with a dining room table. A modern trend is for wheels on chairs and a lot of padding. This wooden chair must have seen decades of use but is very well made. I found the logo on it to be identifying a university in Ohio. We don't care what it looks like but only that it works. Drew loves it and feels like he is truly at the command and head of the table.

Real Stud Muffins
Seen at the Embreeville Mill in rural Pennsylvania in June. Hey there +ClintEastwoods Daughter and +Sandra Nesbit and +Aline van Wijk do horse owners really buy such treats for their horses? Or is it more plain treats like apples and carrots?

(Wherein we shall see if anyone actually searches on the term "stud muffin" and finds this post, LOL)

Finally they are shaved and groomed!
Poor boys went all summer with long hair because my groomer could not come here. Since it is still hot here in Phoenix this is a big help. They are much happier and we will have less shedding. I don’t know why she left a small poof at the end of Buddy’s tail. I’ll post the before photo in the comments.
