Suppose you’re the thrifty type and had never come across the Chet and Bernie #mystery series (narrated by a #dog but not a talking one) – this would be a good #intro.
My sympathies to anyone who has not yet discovered C&B! How’s your chance to dip your big toe in! Soon you will take the plunge and want every book in the series! 🏊🏻♀️
Yes, it would. Even better to get a few books for free from a friend. (I gave a friend a few paperback duplicates for hardbacks I already had. Autographed hardbacks.)
Thrifty is rather nice, almost complimentary. Eco-friendly like reduce, reuse, repair, recycle. I do that but I am also generous.
Geez. Any of those could be my sister and my brother’s wife who are both thick as thieves.
Today is Celebrate Shelter Pets day. Freyja is a survivor of the Hesperia Animal Shelter. Literally a survivor.
I should send her bio to OFA in case he has nothing for Phriday Photos. Most of you know the story since you are responsible for it but I will anyway.
It is also Krampusnacht, which is probably already starting in Germany as I type, where they will not only be having schnapps but also Sacher-torte a it is Sacher-torte day. To learn about the real Krampusnacht, as opposed to the Hollywood version designed to generate profit, you can go here using our secret code:

I imagine for some of the poor, they encouraged their children to be naughty for just one night so they could get some coal and twigs to have a nice, warm fire.

Greetings!
Such a festive cover! This might be my favorite C&B short story.
Good evening to all!
