The Mirrors are Not What They Seem

Sometimes a mirror is just a mirror. Sometimes it's a portal to an alternate West Texas reality. Be very careful Lu. Check your mirrors and make sure nobody has Tampered with them.

Now Lulu. Mind Your Manners

Oh my gosh. Even out here in the middle of nowhere there is some expectation of propriety.

Look Out For the Creepy Crawlies, Lu

We're pretty sure we know exactly what Lulu will think when she sees this: "mmm. Breakfast." Or maybe not.

Consider the Llama

Every now and then it's good to take a little time out of one's day to ponder the wild and wonderful llama. Really, it is. Just watch the video.

More Fourth Fun: Herding Sheep

Problem: The sheep seem to be hexed. It happens.

Fourth of July Shenanigans

Here in West Texas, all holidays are excuses for exceptionally strange behavior. Even in summer. Lulu still has the broom, so far as you-know-who knows. After our recent tumblin' she's taken to searching the must unusual locales for her cherished cinnamon broom, but all to no avail. We can tell you one thing: it's in a very safe place.

Poem for Saturday: The Sloth

In moving-slow he has no Peer.
You ask him something in his Ear,
He thinks about it for a Year;

And, then, before he says a Word
There, upside down (unlike a Bird),
He will assume that you have Heard-

A most Ex-as-per-at-ing Lug.
But should you call his manner Smug,
He'll sigh and give his Branch a Hug;

Then off again to Sleep he goes,
Still swaying gently by his Toes,
And you just know he knows he knows.
