Stuffy Class: Drunk Fox

 Hello Students.  Little Fox here.  As the unofficial dean, registrar, and financial aid counselor at Stuffy Class I want to take a second and introduce our most popular instructor.  He's traveled the world, drank in many many many bars (and casinos, nightclubs, speakeasy's etc).  If you guessed Drunk Fox then you are correct.

Take it away Drunk Fox.

----------

Welcome students to my class.    Yes, you are correct I am one of the most popular instructors at Stuffy Class and today's class is on signage. 

 There will be a comprehensive final at the end of my class.  Let's get started with my bumper sticker lecture.   

Some of my personal favorites.

Jesus is a big theme in the bumper sticker world. 

Another creative sticker.

--------

Being that this is only an introduction class I will move onto my next favorite church signs.

This one is for my friend Droopy (it seems like it fits his sense of humor).

I believe.

Food for thought. 

Simple and to the point. 

The final section of my lecture is a potpourri of signs.

 

I got nothing for this one.

Well said.

Where was this sign when I was a pup?

Can anyone tell me what they are trying to convey in this sign?

Sorry Ajdin,  Sandy, Jerry, Ben and Little Bear.  You'll have to stay elsewhere.

As the most popular class at Stuffy Class I get asked what my favorite sign is.  I think this one takes the cake.

Students. 

 Are you ready for the final?  Please note the comprehensive final for my class will be on November 31st.  See you then.

Thanks for taking my class.

Stuffy Class: Art Appreciation

 Hello Blog World. Little Fox here and I would like to welcome our guest instructor.

Class, please say hello to this weeks instructor, me, Little Fox.

Let's dive right into the art world.

I like this bear.   Friendly, has some nice color with the flowers on the left and he's wearing his mask.  Bravo!

This one really "calls" to me.   Astonishing work by this artist.  These foxes do the hard work of greeting patients to the Boise Children's Hospital.  Do you have important work to do?  Best leave it up to an animal.

Idaho elk.  These two are staggeringly stoic.

This next section is for Beanie.  Lot's of painted electrical boxes around Boise. 

This is one of my favorites.  Breathtaking!

The many layers of Boise.  Farming, camping, nature, football. 

Really makes you think.

Each box is a commisioned piece of work.  The artist gets to paint all sides of the box.

In case you forgot where this class took place.

This one is in the Basque District.  Idaho has one of the largest Basque populations outside of Spain.

The final area of art appreciation will be mural appreciation.

I titled this one Home Sweet Home.  Shockingly awesome!

This is a pleasant little fellow.  Bonus points for having a fellow canine brother in the mural. 

This one agrees with me. 

Students.  I hope you enjoyed my stuffy class on art appreciation.  Yes, this does count as your humanities section so if you want your humanities credit please write a 1 page paper on art.  

This ain't good

 Hiya Blog Pals,

Little Fox here reporting from the back yard.  Two fires burning nearby and a whole lot burning all over the state.

Let's take a first hand look outside: Ugh, this doesn't look good.  I wish I had a mask.

Yep, same shot about an hour earlier.

There is some good news.  The Coast Aquarium is closed (that is not the good news)  but the animals are safe. 

Don't worry.  This fox is on firewatch tonight. 

To end on a fun note.....one more post from the aquarium. 

Stuffy Mail Call

Hello Blog World.
Little Fox and my pal Lightning are hosting the blog today.  Is there a beverage in this retro style fox mug?  Nope, but Lightning is thinking of repurposing it into a swimming pool for him. I say "Go for it".

Lightning is still debating about getting in the mug.  While he's making a mental pros and cons list we got some mail from Sandy.  

Looks like Sandy is on the post card writing bandwagon again.  Three cards.    He mentions that they are paving the street in front of there house and it's making all kinds of racket. 

Sandy, like I, is hoping to get some hiking in.  Sandy mentioned that their Covid 19 cases were holding steady.  I know that some of the states (including my home state) are having huge spikes and it's not pretty. 

I think we should take bets on when Sandy will finally run out of postcards.  I flirted with the idea of sending a package of blank post cards up to Sandy to help replenish his stash.  Don't worry Sandy....I didn't do that......yet.

Another package came for me and my crew.  Oooh, first class mail.  This must be an important package.

Looking at the return label.  Any guesses who its from?

Let me give you a hint....a handmade card (with exquisite penmanship to boot). 

Did you say Droopy and crew?  If so, you were right!

I opened the card first.  Looks like Droopy has been shopping and he came across these cool fox magnets for the fridge. 

Oh my! These magnets are awesome.  They are fox based, have some cool art on them, and one of the foxes holding the magnet has a cookie!  Thank you so much Team Droopy.  These are going on our fridge immediately.

Okay, they are going on the fridge right after we take a close up so everyone can see them, then after Sequoia's walk, and after taking the garbage cans in.
