Booming Banter

Y’all know we are a crazy lot. Well the Bro’s most recent exploits takes this to a new dimension.

He has taken up Bull Riding!

This has taken place on consecutive days at country fairs in nearby towns.

These critters are not electric my friends they are the real McCoy giant cattle!

So far he has made it for only a matter of seconds but is determined to up his game.

He dreams of Texas and we’re not talking toast.

My uncle Jim has a very old truck that he takes great care of and brings to vintage shows. Yesterday they went to one so I thought you’d like to see it.

That’s my auntie Marsha standing by it.

Don’t you think that both the truck and Marsha are cute.

They are both little reds.

LIbby Grace their big Great Dane gets to ride in the truck sometimes too.

I think that’s so cool that I’m making it one of my ambitions.

Maybe at Christmas I can put on a Santa hat and stick my head out the window. It would look so festive with snow in the ground.

In the meantime I’d settle for a ride in Aretha. Ma’s little vehicle is red too!

Precious Peeps it’s Pits here to whistle you into a wonderful weekend.

We have had a serious cool down these past days and it’s so refreshing. We had lots of storms early in the week and then a drop in temperature. We went from the nineties to the seventies.

It makes you feel so frisky and we trot so much faster. It’s also very conducive for a good chase of the Grey Gizzard around the yard.

The flowers on the hibiscus like it too. They don’t droop so fast.

I must say they are beautiful. Granny cut a few and brought them inside.

She took this photo for y’all and clearly you can see that while this wonder of nature is magnificent it still isn’t quite as perfect as that little Princess popping up in the background.

I may send it to Axel with the caption “behind another door”

Be like me outstanding and enjoy you days off with some good times.

We got a lovely surprise this morning. We have a new canine in our family. His name is Sisu and he’s a great big yellow Labrador.

It’s great to have a cousin even if he’s living thousands of miles away in Mumbai India.

I can give him lots of tips on how to get tidbits and treats. We are connected by WhatsApp!

He’s two years old and our aunty and cousin rescued him from a shelter.

Seems he loves the monsoon and running in the rains.

I think he will be a fine fellow and bring lots of fun and happiness to everyone who meets him.

Welcome home Sisu!

Precious Peeps it’s PITS here PERFECT as ever and ready to heave you over the humpty.

I have been thinking it would be swell if I were to have a romantic relationship with Axel. He’s old mind you but quite cute.

If I were to befriend him he’d give me access to so many famous people heck he might even introduce me to the Royals.

I hit on the idea of sending him love tokens and am starting with this mat.

Don’t you think it would look just fab at the front door of Number Ten.

I can even imagine Larry the cat sitting on it.

Can you see the press coverage when I visit “Pit Puts Paw in Politics”.

I might even hitch a ride over on the new air force one!

It’s great to have dreams. Try it. You’ll be happy just like me and humpties won’t hurt a bit.

Get to it right now make a wish come true for yourself today.

I love you almost as much as myself. Talk Friday.

Each morning when we’re having a watch at the news we sit on either side of Granny on the big chair that faces the TV.

Yesterday we were there for a while longer than usual as we heard from and all about the new British prime minister Andy Burnham.

Ma liked Sir Keir Stammer the previous incumbent but she says she feels good about the new dude. She likes the look of him and says she thinks he has energy.

We had to dig deeper before we gave our opinion but we are happy to inform you that we also approve. The new PM and his family have a dog called Axel who is a rescue Bischon Poo.

Axel is a rescue and is ten years old and looks cute. We will be sending him letters of encouragement regularly that he can share with his Dad.

Well it’s all over and Spain are the worthy winners.

What a great World Cup this has been. We’ve enjoyed it so much. It was epic.

We’re so happy Spain won and what we loved most was the way the whole Spanish Royal Family showed up for the final.

Did you notice when the medals were being given out the players didn’t hesitate one bit to hug their king.

He gave each of them a funny handshake and then boom each player got a great big bear hug.

We loved that! Hasta la vista!!!!

Did you ever in all your life see such a game of football/soccer?

It was unbelievable!

Ma was screaming and yelling and yipping till she almost had no voice.

What more could anyone ask for; early goals for England a great return by France in the second half, a hat trick by Saka and finally on walks Bellingham at full time and sticks one in the net.

You have to feel like this was a divine intervention. To all those who poopooed the third place playoff you were so wrong this was the greatest game of all time.

Ma thinks they have to make a movie about it but I say it’s just the kick off to the 2030 Tournament that will be in Spain, Portugal and Morocco.

We are so very very happy for England best place since 1966.

As for today we’re rooting for Spain all the way!

We were so happy it rained last evening and not just because it meant we didn’t need to water the plants.

The rain pulled some of the smog out of the air. It had been really bad. The wildfires in Ontario combined with the heat dome all over North America had a major impact on air quality. Even though we are an hour north of Columbus our area was only classed as “dangerous” whereas Columbus itself was “hazardous” and people were advised to stay indoors.

The air had a smell of plastic and we learned this is because as the smoke breaks down it forms aldehydes that give that distinctive chemical smell.

It must be awful for the poor souls in Canada who are loosing everything in these fires but they are impacting more than one hundred million people in the US metropolitan areas so something has to be done as they aren’t going away anytime soon. They are a natural phenomenon but now impacting more and more people each year.

We investigated and found that there are in theory possible ways to curtail these fires. First, find the sources fast with drones and AI. Secondly, have water available to put them out more quickly and finally find ways to contain them by clearing areas strategically.

All probably easier said than done and we know that Canada is actively working towards solutions but it’s certainly an area where global technology leaders need to collaborate because it’s impacting our trots!!!
