Rite Aid closure now 30 days out! Change your meds Monday, plus yard sale finds, and some polyamorous geese

During our Yard sale rambles, we discovered Rite Aid had been given a 30-day closure notice. We have all known it’s been in the process of closing, but the quick date took me aback. If you have meds there, like I did, you have to act NOW.  I do most of my meds at Mendocino Coast Pharmacy as they have the BEST service and are a terrific local biz. But globalists have created illegal and immoral monopolistic practices that shut them out of some meds. So Rite Aid it was. 

I took me all last week to get the meds moved over. I did so after a coworker at the hospital lost critically needed meds two weeks ago and missed doses, as it took a long time to get the meds transferred over. I called Safeway, and they were very helpful, but Rite Aid didn’t call them back.  This process can be lengthy and you have to make sure your insurance is lined up as well. Don’t wait, this will only get worse. My physician team (Dr Wade Gray) got right on it so Im good.  If you want the cheapest pharmacy for hard-to-get meds use Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs. If that pharmacy doesn’t have what you need, use GoodRx, which is not a pharmacy but a discount program.

We had some great finds at yard sales. LInda got this fabulous yellow jade wrist thingy and his very cool silver necklace. Brutus and Caesar, who hated most of the yard sales because most everything was old human art and junk treasures, were delighted into mania when they discovered a large toy basket at the sale up Cummings Lane in Mendo, which continues today with half-priced day. The most amazing materials were original works by Mervinius, a famous Mendo-Humbo artist and cartoonist at the sale off Airport Road, also continuing, this one through Monday. 

Clarence is always good to have some laughs with. He makes sure that people don’t buy stuff that isn’t for sale at the yard sales, like this apparently beloved lepruchan garden gnome.

The coolest sale by far was the one on Gordon Lane, which continues today. Very cool art and collectibles, some overpriced and some too cheap but Sue, the proprietor, is very cool. Go check it out if still open. I think I took too long fiddling with all the computer settings and didn’t get the story out on time.

We didn’t get to the one-up Simpson Lane yesterday, but it continues today. We are going to check out the Kelley House historic book sale today and do the most important thing in our lives right now. Socializing puppy Caesar. As you can see from the photos, yard sales, even those with boring art only, are still beloved by Caesar because there are pretty women at the sales, none of them as pretty or beloved as mommy Linda. Caesar is afraid of men, which is unsettling to think of.  He was not afraid of his foster dad John, but some man did some bad shit to sweet puppy Caeser. He is beginning to forget while with big brother Brutus and dad.

My find of the day was a guy out garage saling in his 1963 Dodge Dart. The young man from Ukiah was enjoying the crowd of old guys like me that were awed by his car, which he bought about 6 months ago.  We met Molly and Jon, who were the people who got Brutus adopted to us. It’s a long story but what a life we have all had together. Brutus needed rescue and now he is returning that love to Caesar. I don’t even know why I am at all surprised by that. Ok

Such people are the ones you want to believe Hell is real for.

But he’s learning. He’s pretty much stopped tinkling himself every time he goes up to greet a man. He forces himself to be incredibly social, despite his fears.

We also saw my old boss Kate Lee, from my Advocate News days. Our alumni remain friends through the death of newspapers.

 I also took good photos of a Canada goose threesome, two guys, one momma goose and two babies. Poultry are like that. Some poultry are gay. Some poultry are trans. Some poultry are monogamous. Some poultry are poly. These are facts from a lifelong poultry farmer.  You can pretend you are a superior human, but animals have way more going on than we will admit. We deny it mostly because we dont want to stop eating them. I refuse to stop eating them,as that is what they are for, but I still can love them. Poultry study has helped me realize that “its not natural” is pure hormonally induced falsehood. Unless chickens, ducks, geese and probably turkeys are “unnatural” beings. We live in the age of the prude in 2025. Less sex by about 90 percent than at any time in history. How do I know? I read it on the Internet!

Coming soon in theaters and tents!!

Thanks to the great Charlie White, the fishermen’s statues in Fort Bragg are made of redwood, not bronze and granite like in Gloucester, materials very appropriate to New England. But ours literally have redwood trees in their blood.

The dog photo is from Mendocino Indivisible. I stole it cuz we considered that puppy before we got Caesar. Brutus picked Caesar, which was correct this time, not so much the first time around.
