Cal.E.'s Corner


Here is Sarah Sunshine with the weather forecast for South Texas for the next six months.

It’s HOT!! Back to you, Ben

Thanks, Sarah. That’s all the news that is worth mentioning. I’m Ben Dunn with Sarah Sunshine and several other people NOT worth mentioning.



d.: I wonder how Cal.E. is doing now that she is back in Houston? I will call her and find out (Ring)

C.: HELLO!? Is that you, d.c.?



d.: Yes, it is me, d.c. scot, and YOU are not!

C.: Funny! I am glad you called, d.c. I need some help. My company wants me to have a higher profile on social media now that I am in management. They say that one platform is not enough, especially since I am the “second banana” in this blog at times. So, I am applying to TikTok, Instagram, SnapChat, and some other social media platforms. I am having some trouble answering their questions, though.

d.: Maybe I can help. What questions are you having trouble answering?

C.: Ones like, “If you were a cat, what kind of cat would you be?” I wrote “I AM a cat. One that talks.” They rejected that answer. They said that there is no such thing as a talking cat!

d.: Okay, what other questions are you having trouble answering?

C.: “If you were a dog, what kind of dog would you be?” I said, “I am a CAT! One that talks. The next one was even harder. It asked, “If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?” I said,” A tree is an inanimate object. A living, breathing (talking) being CANNOT become a tree!”

d.: I think I see the problem. You are overthinking your answers, taking them literally. I can give you my answers and you can go from there. You are a Norwegian long-hair cat with dilute calico markings. If I were a dog, I would be a German Shepard. They are smart, loyal, and strong. If I were a tree, I would be a live oak tree. These trees start out small, but become large, strong trees with time that are aesthetically pleasing, as well as useful for shade and food for squirrels. It takes them a while to mature, but they are strong, beautiful trees when they mature.

C.: And what is wrong with saying that my favorite meal is a live mouse?

d.: I think I would change that to a tuna tartar dish. You do like raw fish.

C.: I thought that the social media platforms were looking for honest answers…

d.: why would you think that? You are a figment of my imagination; a talking cat! AND we write a daily blog. That is using one’s imagination, like the social media platforms are asking you to do with your answers.

C.: Okay, I do not want to plagiarize your answers (even though we are the same person). I will say that I would be a “Hep Cat” (hehe) and if I were a dog I would be a…”Top Dog.” If I were a tree, I would be…”Family Tree.” Thanks, d.c. I think I have the hang of this now.

d.: I fear that this, too, will end badly.
