Watching New England Patriots at Chicago Bears on Prime upstairs with my elderly father who suffered again per our backyard Duende on or around 1721 Pacific Time.
***Off-topic starts here:
I guess your prayers Kinda Sorta “worked”.
My Dad loss his footing when our backyard Duende “tempted” him adjust our plastic dark brown downspout extender.
After crossing over this metaphorical “river” and by his left foot not clearing a slightly sloped cement gutter pathway, he fell backwards.
His left heel sunk and followed through unsupported by a flat plane on his left buttock.
He didn’t tell me until after 1732 Pacific Time!
I got pissed off and fumed at Dad. Sigh.
He loss his footing tonight and last year on 11/24/2025 when our backyard Duende “tempted” him to harvest some persimmon fruits, which were outta reach and far atop the tree branches.
I saw through my backyard camera how he paused on SOFT soil.
Both his feet sunk mostly underneath his heels.
He fell backwards and received a scalp laceration from our cement work.
I didn’t know until after 20 minutes when I heard him from far away.
He received six staples last year.
I thought demolishing the backyard and having our gardener landscape our entire backyard with medium-sized mulch, which my younger brother said was UGLY, would stop our backyard Duende.
I requested the largest UGLIEST mulch; so that the neighborhood cats won’t turn our backyard into a portable potty, like our front yard mulch, which was much lighter/smaller and easier to dig.
I had to install 36” height dog fence to keep the cats out of my Feng Shui-compliant three-rocks design and mulch!
My dad is fine.
***Off-topic ends here.
I remember watching THE BEARS (as portrayed on SNL where the big guys would celebrate) winning.
I guess I’m hoping that either team wins because everyone’s a winner in this re/probation realm.
Since my younger baby brother had donned the attire of a PATRIOT Halloween costume at his work, I’m guessing NE could win this time or whatever.
That’s all. End transmission. 1852 Pacific Time.
