Do any of us recognize ourselves in this cartoon? I know I do.
If I ever win a contest again, I may chose as the theme a photo of food that was placed in front of us.
I must admit I have a few in my files.
May I post a cartoon about food and photography?

I realize we don't all like Bill Maher these days. I still do very much enjoy his show and the unpredictability of the mixture of host, guests and subjects.
There are two in that lineup I can't wait to see and hear.
You guess which two.
Bill Maher's lineup for tonight: HBO 10 pm and repeat at 11pm
Jane Goodall, Ron Reagan, S.E. Cupp, John Cleese and Spike FerestenI realize we don't all like Bill Maher these days. I still do very much enjoy his show and the unpredictability of the mixture of host, guests and subjects.

MADISON, WISCONSIN (The Borowitz Report)In the aftermath of his sudden withdrawal from the Presidential race, on Monday, residents of Wisconsin are alarmed at the prospect of Scott Walker having more time to do his job as governor, Wisconsinites report.
In interviews across the state, Wisconsinites expressed emotions ranging from dread to panic as they grappled with the realization that Walker would soon be back behind his desk performing his duties.
Earlier this spring, when he was riding high in the polls, a lot of my friends and I were thinking, This is the break weve been looking for, said Carol Foyler of Green Bay. We definitely had our hopes up.
Tracy Klugian of Milwaukee agreed. I dont know a person in Wisconsin who wasnt pumped about the idea of Scott Walker going to Washington, he said. And then we watched that first debate. He shuddered at the memory.
In the hours after the governors stunning announcement, on Monday, Wisconsinites formed support groups to help each other navigate the reality of Walker turning his full attention to their state.
At a meeting of one of the groups on Tuesday evening, Kenosha resident Harland Dorrinson expressed confidence that his fellow Wisconsinites would be able to contend with their new situation. People in Wisconsin are stronger than you can imagine, he said. Weve been through blizzards. Weve been through tornadoes. Well get though this somehow.
Still, its tough, he said, his voice breaking.

Wanna guess where this road side attraction might have been?

Adding this a little later:
OOPS
Ive been asked by pm if this is a dead dog or a trained dog.
It is a dog that is trained to make money for his owner and get treats for himself, and since I saw him take position and then get back out I was all clear to me in reality and emotionally that it is not a dead dog.
I was also informed about the death of OhWiseOnes dog with the wonderfully soulful chastised eyes in the beach photo.
I am sad about that. Its a terrible pain to lose a pet. They so much love you anyway and never talk back. A huge loss.
So I just have to let this post stand and allow it to rest in peace.
Sorry if I offended or startled anyone.
My "reject" for the Sept. contest. But it should not just crack me up - so I share.
