Marriage Counselor: Your wife says you never buy her flowers. Is that true?
Me: To be honest, I never knew she sold flowers.

I can't find a lot of information on this, but it certainly lightened my mood / lifted my spirits. Someone sent it to me, so I thought I'd pass it along. You don't need a Facebook account to view (as best I can tell). When/if it asks for a log-in, I just click the upper right, and "X-out".
When I was looking for the origin... I found this...

I admit I'm torn with all the phones being up during the performance... it makes me cringe a bit, but ... without someone with a phone out, we may never have seen the original story unfold.
If anyone has other links / knowledge, I'd love to see more.

Hate that the only place I can find some things is Facebook, but again, just X out, and it should still play.

I was laughing my a$$ off, and I actually do like Bob Dylan...

I also wondered what the hype was all about, his voice is nasal, and accent is difficult to understand.
We had American Jesuit Fathers at my school, so we were used to Americans from the Eastern and Mid West of the USA, and their speech...even then I could not make out much of his songs.
The last American Jesuit fathers were ordained in 1965, and one of them was in many ways a mentor to me at my school, he was from Toledo, Ohio...he used to pronounce 'think' as 'fink', we were used to that.
I never made the effort to look up his lyrics, and listen to covers by different performers...not so important in my opinion.

Unfortunately, we know of two dogs that have died from snake bites in the last couple of weeks, just in a suburban back yard. Dugites have come out of hibernation in the last month and are hungry and nasty!
My Staffordshire Bull Terrier was going mad barking the other day and I though it could be a snake, but fortunately it was only a bobtail skink, removed to a safe place after a feed of overipe tomatoes. They love 'em.
Ahhhh, Eastern Browns are strange. Their venom is different to other snakes. You can die in 15 minutes from first being bitten. You might feel fine for 13 minutes, and in the last two minutes, you go downhill and have a heart attack. Normal snakebites cause progressive decline, with sweating, increased heartrate, nausea etc. but not necessarily with the Brown. You might not even know you've been bitten because their fangs are small, but there may be little time to react if you don't. Beware....if you think you've been bitten, get medical help!
And to complicate things, the standard anti-venom doesn't work against bites from really young snakes.
Oops, supposed to be lightening the mood! Sorry...a community service announcement...
The good news is they'll try to avoid you at all costs.

Thanks for the advice 😉
Yes, they're aggressive only when they feel it's necessary. I rode past a six footer earlier this year and I must have lifted my legs almost as quickly as the hair stood up on the back of my neck. I went back and took a couple of photos which if I find them I'll post.

We've got only one species of venomous snakes in Sweden, the Adder (Huggorm in Swedish). It's bite is much like bee-sting but it must be treated because of allergic reactions (cortison injections).
It is also a kind that avoids contacts with humans, but if you stumble upon one when it is basking in the sun it maybe bite.
And tawking of snakes, here's St Patrick driven the snakes out of Ireland.
I live in MN. It's an obligation to at least try to appreciate Dylan. I am not sure if I'll see the new movie in theaters, but I'd like to watch it at some point.
I recommend reading a couple of mysteries by C&W musician Kinky Friedman, who used to tour with a group called Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys.
He often discusses his friendship and misadventures with Bob Dylan, who Kinky calls the Minnesota Jewboy. All with the greatest respect of course.
