The following video was sent to me by a friend who knows I'm an animal lover. Squirrels can be pesky little critters, but this one is a hoot! I laughed so hard I almost fell off my chair. It's bound to put a smile on your face. If not, you're probably a crotchety old coot with no sense of humor at all.

Case Dropped: Or Sue Me Part III
If you've been following this blog for the last week, you're up to speed on the Senator Alesi debacle. Then again, if you've been following this blog at all, you either don't have enough to do, or you are as wacky as I am.
In any case, Senator Alesi dropped the lawsuit. His public apology on TV was enough to make you want to gag. It was all syrup and no substance; typical political rhetoric. He dropped the case because enough of us hounded him, making his life VERY uncomfortable. It was easier to drop the lawsuit than to clean up another 86 pounds of horse pucky mysteriously left on his doorstep. Oops, did I say that!?

So Sue Me: Part II
This goes beyond horse pucky. This is whale shit on the bottom of the ocean, which is where Senator James Alesi (R) of New York State has chosen to put his brain and his heart.
You need to read Part I of this in order to fully appreciate the full details. Today, exactly three years after Mr. Alesi was trespassing illegally on private property and broke his leg, he decided to serve papers to the owners of the house. They just happen to be a retired couple in their seventies, on a fixed income, who wanted to build a new, smaller home, and retire comfortably. Little did they know they'd be sued by a New York State senator.
This is the latest:
1. Today, exactly three years after Alesi's fall, the statute of limitations runs out for the owners to counter sue for illegal trespassing. Coincidence? I don't think so. The owners didn't sue Alesi three years ago for illegal trespassing because they felt bad that he broke his leg and didn't want to add insult to injury with bad press for the senator, so they let the whole thing pass.
2. Senator Alesi makes over $80K per year as a NY Senator, one of the highest paid in the United States.In addition, he operates other outside businesses. Now he wants to sue a senior couple on a fixed income.
I'm not one to be all hearts and flowers, but to make matters worse, the senior couple gives back to their community. She volunteers her time at the food cupboard and he volunteers his time at their church. These are the salt-of-the-earth kind of people I like to call friends.
I'm so steaming, hopping, mad right now, I could spit rusty nails. The taxpayers of the city of Rochester are asking Alesi to either drop the case, or resign from office. I'll do everything in my power to make sure both of those things happen.
In my contrite opinion: I think Senator James Alesi (R) New York is suffering from dementia. His heart is another story. I believe it got lost in that black abyss called POLITICS.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I hope the fleas of a thousand camels infest his armpits, and 86 pounds of frozen horse pucky mysteriously shows up on his doorstep.

So Sue Me: Part I
This just goes to show you how skewed the thinking is of at least one of our local politicians. Local NY Senator, James Alesi, is suing a Perinton couple because he fell in their home, which was under construction, claiming they did not take the necessary measures to ensure the safety of the unfinished house.
Here's what happened:
1. In 2008, the house was under construction. A stairwell was still unfinished, so a ladder was the contractor's only access from a basement to the first floor, according to the builder.
2. Alesi and another individual went inside the unfinished house, not knowing it was owned, through an unlocked rear door. There was nothing indicating the house was a model available for viewing. In fact, it was private property, and was still under construction.
3. Alesi proceeded to climb the ladder from the basement to the first floor, then fell while climbing, breaking his leg. Now he claims he suffers permanent injuries.
4. Alesi is now suing the builder and the owners after a two year period of time.
My burning question along with the builder is, "Why would anybody other than the house's owner or builder think they had a right to scale a ladder within a privately owned structure under construction!?"
If this is the kind of horse pucky a NY Senator can pull on NY State constituents, what does he do when he's in Albany!? I'm sure that's the tip of the iceberg as far as politicians are concerned.
Personally, I'm totally disgusted with our local Senator. Again, I concur with the builder when he says, "I guess anybody can sue anybody."

I want to wish all of you a happy day. Why? Probably because it's Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. It's also Happy-the-Sun-is-Shining-in-Rochester, NY-Day, Happy Horse Pucky Day, Happy To Be Alive Day, National Be Good to a Cat Day, and Give Your Sweetie A Hug Day.
Please check this out for an inspirational message from the great Dr. King. http://www.thekingcenter.org/
You'll be happy you did.
