Strange Brew by John Deering for October 09, 2023

Topic of discussion: Squirrel tastes good.

Hubby got scolded loudly by a squirrel he’d scared when he made a loud noise to frighten away a cat that was stalking the squirrel. (Weird sentence but it’s nearly midnight here.)

“Let’s get this straight, right off the bat. Raiding bird feeders is non-negotiable!”

And to think they had come in all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

Let’s just cut to the chase!

No meeting of the minds.

Throwing walnuts under the table didn’t help their position.

It’s all bark and woof, and no sane dog will stop chasing…plain and simple…

Both parties would like to negotiate a "tree"ty.

This invokes one of my pet peeves: It is impossible to agree to disagree. They are mutually exclusive. A much more concise and logical way to express this sentiment: We can disagree without being DISAGREEABLE.

You got to like a squirrel who can cut to the chase.

A free and frank exchange of opinions was had by all.
