is it wiping off it's mouth?

I love this time of year. Just got done with a brisk walk on this crisp, cool, cloudy autumn day in Southern Connecticut. All the leaves turning colors and gently falling to the ground. If you are like me, you try to catch them as they fall around you. Swirling in the wind, the leaves are more tricky to catch than you might think. But what to do when you do catch one? I just put it in my pocket for a while and then eventually I pull it out and let it fall to the ground further away then it would normally have done.
It's the school season and my walk coincided with the school buses coming through and dropping off their kids. So at every bus stop, there was this cluster of idling mini-vans and SUVs idling on the side of the road waiting for the big yellow bus. It seems that no child is allowed these days to get off the bus and walk into their homes on their own two feet. No! Instead, they must be immediately herded into another motor vehicle and whisked off to some planned activity (i.e. karate practice, music lesson, etc.) or delivered to the very door of their home, which might only be a half a block away.
I have actually seen parents literally drive to the end of their driveway in order to retrieve their child off the bus. Then they will back right into the garage with their child. I kid you not.
Helicopter parents...I can go on. When I was a boy and in Little League, I think my parents went to maybe 2 or 3 actual games. Otherwise, I was on my own. Practice was entirely on me. I'd ride my bike to and from the practices with my baseball glove hanging off the handlebars. These days, every Little League practice is accompanied by parents in lawn chairs who have coolers of cold drinks and snacks at the ready for their child. Yes, during practice, many of the players will run over to their parents for a few sips of soda or some sort of snack to tide them over. And there is NOTHING the coach can do about it.
If I had run off the field in one of my Little League practices, my coach would have kicked me off the team and told me to come back when I was ready to take playing ball seriously.
But I digress. Back to fall. This is when the bees and yellow jackets get especially aggressive. I try to sit on my patio taking in the cool breezes and foliage but these bees are everywhere, climbing on my glass of beer or trying to get into my bowl of peanuts. I've been stung three times over the past five years, always in the fall. Never in summer, when bees are more docile and tend to mind their own business.
Finally, not sure if there is a thread already posted here regarding some fluffy-haired, effeminate news-reader named Shepard Smith, who apparently quit FoxNews earlier today. Anyway, I don't have cable TV anymore so it don't matter much to me but this might be a big deal for others so thought I'd get the word out. Good day.
Fired. Escorted out by security.
Leaves? Looking not forward to collecting a shite-ton of ‘em, and disposing of them by fire. The fire part makes the rest of the task tolerable.
This makes it the 9th time he's quit today.
Will his quitting never end?
It’s a bit of extra protein, so you’ve got that going for you.
is it wiping off it's mouth?
I hope he takes Judge Napolitano with him.
Heard Barr had dinner with Rupert the other day, after that ridiculous impeachment poll came out, and voila...Shep is suddenly gone! Coincidence? I think not.
They are both fags, Jim.
My kids went to a Christian school based in an old church community. The surrounding cemetery would often fill up with water during heavy rains, but the kids would stomp and splash through the bigger ponds (these weren't mere puddles).
They called it, "the dead sea".
Wiser than wasting some vintage Two Buck Chuck.
You got to be kidding, Donna Brazile. CNN will take over as #1 cable news network.
Just don’t start singing “September Song” or you’ll have me in tears.
And get your patio enclosed like I did. No more problems with bugs in your food or drink.
As much as he hates Trump and as poorly as the democRAT candidates are polling, it wouldn't suprise me to see him in the race soon. He would be a formidable candidate with his youth, good looks, & name recognition.
Will probably replace him with the “new bride/or groom” (whichever), Guy Bensen. Got to keep a certain portion of the viewers placated.
Donna Brazile, Chrissy Wallace, and that idiot Juan Williams are still there.
Just some added protein. Cheers!
Now when is Chris Wallace leaving?
Shep, don’t let the door hit you in the A$$ on the way out!!!
Replace him with Lisa Booth!!!!

Sounds like sexual harassment??
Who was his target?
Juan?
Leland?
