Red and Rover by Brian Basset for August 24, 2024

Time to go home, boys!

Red, you need Beta-Val, stat!

Don’t scratch… it makes is worse !

They still haven’t caught any tadpoles!

Feel for you Red — been there, done that.

Hard to watch! Been there! I guess it’s a right of passage for every kid.

My first experience with Poison Ivy was at age 51. It was the September I bought my house, and was trimming the hedges that surround the property. I suffered the itching and oozing for a long time, and now always keep a bottle of Tecnu in the medicine cabinet. I also learned everything I could about Poison Ivy, and now keep far away from the hedges ever since — the dogs, too. Also, I read that anyone not born in North America is unlikely to be sensitive to it. A neighbor who grew up in Ireland told me he can roll around in it without a reaction. However, another neighbor, from Macedonia, who takes care of my lawn, is not so lucky. I gifted him a bottle of Tecnu.

This is how yoga was invented.

…..dem skeeters are bad!!!!!

Gonna need an ocean / of calamine lotion (Hey, at least the song is period!)

A small victory is, nonetheless, a victory.

Calamine bath here he comes. I never managed a whole body rash, just my arms once or twice.
