Pants, Bikes, & Animals.

None of us like saggy pants worn so low they might get got in shoe laces. Here is one for us:

Speaking of wearing your pants so low that your assets might be on display here is an article about why my good old Portland, Oregon is considered a little weird.

Moving on to a good animal story.

PRESIDENTS

Yesterday's president was George Washington. Today's president was quoted as saying, "If Americans want security they can go to prison." Born in 1890 and died in 1969. This five star general was a WWII hero was also president of Columbia University. He beat poor Adlai twice. The number 34 comes to mind. Which President Am I?

Thanks DR

I might be late answering comments because I don't know what time we get back from the casino.

Sheesh! The guy wouldn't even pull his pants up to get on the plane? Is that stupid, or what!

Good for the naked bike riders! I'm glad the police don't arrest them. I can't imagine it's all that comfortable for them, but I'll admit I've never tried naked biking.

Love those cross-species adoption stories!

And oh, gosh, I almost missed wishing you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! So consider it done now. {s} I hope it was a great one and that you broke the casino.

Hi Pat

Thanks for the birthday wishes. The casino and I are stable as I broke even. But they really have really good food that is very reasonable so we had a nice lunch with free cheesecake!

How dumb was the guy not to pull up his pants for a couple of hours. Foolish, foolish.

A guy could do serious damage to himself if he fell just right on the bike. While I appreciate their adventurous spirit I am not going to be one of them any time soon.

I love cross species animal adoption stories because I have this dream that some of the politicians will read the stories and learn how to get along with those not of the same ilk as them.

The guy with the saggy pants? You can't fix stupid. While the removal from the plane and arrest may have been overkill, I really do wish these folks would realize the rest of us aren't interested in see their "cracks" or other equipment.

Naked bike ride? Okay, I understand the bikes save fossil fuel, but I'm not sure I'm getting why riding naked helps the environment, unless it's primarily an attention-getter.

Neat story on the cross country adoption. I'm so glad you post these. And, you're right - maybe politicians could learn a lesson. More globally, maybe all of us humans could take some pointers from the animal world.

Sounds like you had a great birthday. May the rest of your year be happy, healthy, fun and filled with laughter and hugs.

Hi DR

I've had the best birthday I've had in many years. Lots of people calling or telling me how I had a positive impact on my life. Very touching.

At first I thought removal from the plane was overkill but they did say that his groin was showing and if there were kids on the plane that might have been the most appropriate thing for them to do. An arrest is a little harsh. But all the doofus had to do is pull his pants up.

I think the naked thing is to attrack more media coverage to the once a year event.

If different species in the animal world can help each other then I think we should expect the same of Republicans and Democrats.
