Our 13yo dog is trying to kill me via sleep-deprivation induced accidents.

She’s asking to go out multiple times between 3-5:30AM almost daily. If you’ve ever owned a geriatric dog, you probably don’t take requests to go outside lightly. But even if I did, this is a border collie we’re talking about. She doesn’t give up easily.

Don’t worry too much: I have never needed much sleep, and she always asks with a great big smile. (Although sometimes, she’s so close to my bed I can’t see it.)

Digging up a small section of the yard today, I uncovered enough damn stones that my next project is going to be building a henge...

DUUUUUDE....

At the end of June, BABYMETAL is going to be playing at the local casino arena...
Their opening bands are going to be Black Veil Brides...

And BLOODYWOOD...

And tickets start at $60.

<insert headbanging emoji here>

I honestly don't care about the first two, but Bloodywood is seriously one of my favorite metal bands...

Hope the whole show kicks butt!

Last night, our beloved 13yo border collie got out of our yard via a gate left open by the lawn crew. 12 hours later, we got her back…but we almost lost her permanently.

She had fallen into a drainage ditch and couldn’t get out. Fortunately, a nearby homeowner’s daughter and his pool guy heard her barking up the storm drain, and he got her out. She was covered in twigs from thorny bramble bushes, and smelly from the muddy algae covered water.

Right now, she’s been bathed, trimmed & fed. She’s got a slight limp, but hopefully that’s a minor injury + exhaustion.

HOWEVER…

I’ve been contacted by several scammers who claimed to have found her and asking about rewards…AFTER I already had her home.

The last scammer was the worst: he claimed to be an animal control officer informing us about a complaint that we’d violated the leash laws and were being fined. He wanted to do some kind of transaction over the phone, but the more he talked, the more he tipped off that he was a scammer. When he tried to tell me the court clerk wanted to do these transactions contactless, I identified myself as a lawyer who deals with court clerks all the time and would happily have a face to face with the clerk.

He hung up.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: there’s no situation so bad that people can’t make it worse.

I came up with team of modern day NPCs.
"Butterbean" Elmore ( I want to give him a rednecky first name... Colt, Dalton, Rhett.)
Shirleen "Echo" Bodeen
And Scooter
No one knows Scooter's real name.
Butterbean comes from winning a butter bean eating contest when he was a kid.
Echo is her stripper name.

I had a giggle at the idea of them being a group of vampires at one point. lol

How about a country band called Some Poor Bastard?

Another "Scooby gang" that just keeps getting in the way?

Or...
They're a country band of vampires that investigate strange happenings?

Sounds like a great setup for a Ghostbusters Wraithwranglers franchise operating in a tiny town out in the sticks.

I was today years old when I learned Gwenpool was a thing.

Wizkids had this mystery box. It was $100 but with stuff worth over $200, so they claim. In it were a Gwenpool, Ghost-Spider, and Rogue with Thor's hammer. Also a cool looking Warmachine mini. A brick of Disney+ character booster packs. 2 of The Mandarin's rings. 2 packs with tokens and dice. And the Avengers Fantastic Four Empyre game. I haven't priced it all, but it sounds like a lot. LOL

I’m getting a strong “Tucker & Dale vs Evil” meets Scooby Doo vibe. And while I like “Wraithwranglers” as a name- REALLY nice wordsmithing, IMHO- something more rustic would seem in order. “Haunt-Hunters”/“Haint-Hunters” maybe?

“Butterbean” names could also be named Eustace, Colvin, Earl, Duke, Roscoe, Parker or some such.

Scooter’s real name might be concealed because he comes from a moneyed family and doesn’t want anyone to know he’s Fleance Delmore Whittaker, III, son of state senator F.D. Whittaker, Jr.
