His emotional support animal is an alligator. They sleep in the same bed. (Not Florida man)



https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/His-emotional-support-animal-is-an-alligator-17405394.php


Joseph Henney's emotional support animal WallyGator goes with him almost everywhere, from the grocery store to walks in the park. They hug each other and sleep in the same bed. WallyGator is an alligator.


The two watch television together on the couch, and when Henney takes him to the farmers market, WallyGator gives hugs to shoppers - as long as they are OK with being that close to a 70-pound reptile with a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth.

Henney filled out an application on the U.S. Service Animals website, and once it was approved, he received a certificate along with a harness and leash for his alligator. WallyGator is required to be certified every year, he said.

People were surprised when they learned that Henney's alligator had joined the ranks of the emotional support peacock and donkey, he said. He has been known to dress him in a tuxedo and sunglasses, and sometimes even a hat.


Fortunately, there are no plans for the alligator to fly a plan

Ray Charles critiques Elvis Presley's dancing..Discuss

This is not a social commentary, because these are facts.

Ray Charles went blind around the age of five






What was behind those glasses???





Screenshots from a documentary LIKE A ROLLING STONE: The Life and Times of Ben Fong-Torres
On Netflix

I was ROFL when he was critiquing Elvis's dancing...

It reminded me of when he drove a bus in Blue Brothers


It was a serious social critique about appropriation of black culture, not blind culture...

Great documentary if you catch it.

Texas county's entire election staff steps down, citing death threats and stalking

The elections administrator in Gillespie County, which includes Fredericksburg, is stepping down Tuesday over death threats, stalking and understaffing that followed the 2020 election, according to the Fredericksburg Standard-Radio Post.

“I’m understaffed and underpaid and I’ve been asking for help for a while, and at some point, you just have to take care of yourself,” Anissa Herrera told the Standard-Radio Post.

But Herrera is not the only person to step down from the county’s elections department. Gillespie County Judge Mark Stroeher told the Standard-Radio Post that the entire staff resigned for similar reasons, leaving the county in a dire situation for the upcoming November election.

He said that the county has “some people who are pretty fanatical and radical about things” and drove out Herrera and the staff. Stroeher said that the job became more difficult than it probably should be “because of some individuals who are continuing to question how they are doing things,” according to the Standard-Radio Post.

About LeftInTX

Always a Democrat. I can't understand conservatives. I try to understand them, but I can't. They don't make sense. Our country has gone so far right since 1981. I was just an average American who took many Democratic values for granted when Reagan was elected. It was like the rug was pulled out from under our society. Reagan ruined our country.
