> [@peedin](#): > > I was shopping this afternoon. A “service” dog came in with 3 people and immediately took a dump on the floor. Even worse, none of the people had a poop bag or even a paper towel. Two employees has to clean it up. What kind of service dog craps inside, and what kind of asshole people don’t have poop bags? “Service dog”, or “service any-animal”, has become an abused term. A couple of years ago, a woman tried to get an ostrich through TSA security by claiming it was a “service animal”. Nice try. LOL ---

Today is Ash Wednesday. That ain’t my rant. My rant is that close to my house there is a legit “Drive Through Ashing” in an old tree lot where you can get a drive-through blessing today. There are so many people there the line goes out into the street and makes an already nightmare intersection into a giant drive-through clusterfuck. PS - that’s aggravating about the meatless choices. I can find something to eat anywhere, but if it’s not a religious institution, it makes more sense to have both. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > May I suggest that if you don’t want to be irked, you might want to not go to the irk cafeteria. Ooh, give up cafeteria food for Lent! As a kid, we had a minister who said “God doesn’t want you walking around frustrated because you’ve given up something dear to you. Why not _add_ something constructive to your life for Lent?” Smartypants preacher… ---
