THERE MUST BE A PONY … By Jim Redwine

(Week of 23 March 2015)
THERE MUST BE A PONY …
Other than the Essenes, a few other religious zealots and maybe Henry David Thoreau, most people spend a great deal of time and effort seeking material, as opposed to ethereal, things. That is, many of us, Peg and I included, dream of being wealthy.
Of course, if we define wealth as Pollyanna might, that is, being satisfied with whatever life affords us, we are already wealthy. I say, balderdash; normal people want more stuff and we envy those who have a lot of it. But, a lot of what?
As that green-eyed monster devours us, we have certain markers to consider. Greed may be a deadly sin, but poverty ain’t no picnic either. So, “what do the throned folk have we simple folk do notâ€, as King Arthur might say? How should we keep score?
It seems a lot of the rich, especially the nouveau variety, conspicuously indulge in such items as skins of once-living mammals, automobiles that cost more than pieces of heavy construction equipment, cozy jet airplanes used to avoid the arrogance of the TSA, homes large enough for entire tribes of Native Americans seeking gambling licenses, rare wines that may actually taste like aftershave but are rolled around palates ostentatiously, and pets that have jeweled collars, unpronounceable breed names and purchase prices that would rival a price for Cerberus, if he were for sale.
In fact, wealthy people, who often act as if the proletariat is best kept at a distance, seem to revel in publicly walking expensive, and often ugly, dogs and cats. One does not need to see a net worth analysis to know that a person with a costly pet is, as F. Scott Fitzgerald might say, “…very different from you and meâ€.
This last indicator of wealth has given Peg and me some hope that upward mobility may, as yet, be possible for us. And this possibility helps assuage the damage done to our family budget by the veterinary bills we have incurred this month for our fifteen year old dog and our free cat.
Haley, the dog, is deaf and has cataracts. She somehow managed to catch one of her toenails in something. It bled all over Peg’s white carpet and required surgical attention. The dog is fine now. However, we had to cancel our dinner reservations for Peg’s birthday.
Ajax, the cat, was a gift. We live in the country and accepted this “free†animal because field mice see our converted barn-home as a hotel. Something, most likely one of the ubiquitous coyotes, or as Yankees say, coyotees, tried to have Ajax for supper. Ajax’s right rear leg was almost ripped off. Peg ran him into the vet who said cats and dogs can do quite well with three legs. Maybe so, but our four-legged cat barely escaped. Therefore, orthopedic surgery was the recommendation.
Did you know there were orthopedic surgeons for cats? Me neither. I grew up in cattle country where the only animals that ever saw a vet were cows and horses. All other domesticated animals fended for themselves or were “doctored†by their owners.
Well, it looks like Ajax is going to recover and keep his entire complement of appendages. Peg and I on the other hand have lost “an arm and a legâ€. On the other-other hand, we now have expensive pets. What I plan to do is get a collar for each of them with the cost of their care set forth in large numerals.
I guess we might now pass for, at least, members of the hoi polloi. Somehow I am not reassured.
WHAT WOMEN WANT
Boy, are the folks at the syndicated game show “Jeopardy†in trouble after introducing a new category: “What Do Women Want.â€
In one prompt, Alex Trebek gave contestants these clues: “Some help around the house; would it kill you to get out the Bissell bagless canister one of these every once in a while?â€
Answer: “What is a vacuum cleaner?â€
In another, Trebek said: “Time to exercise perhaps in a class in this discipline named for founder Joseph, who initially called it contrology?â€
Answer: “What are Pilates?â€
In a third, he said: “A pair of jeans that fit well, like the 535s from this brand.â€
Answer: “What are Levi’s?â€
It didn’t take long for the grievance community to launch a full assault on the lousy sexists.
“What is equal pay? What is the right to make my own health decisions? What is treated like a human?†tweeted one woman.
“What is to be an equal member of society?†tweeted another woman.
“What is paid sick leave, equal pay, affordable child care, respect?†tweeted a third woman.
Sheesh.
One woman suggested that “Jeopardy†create a “What Do Men Want†category that is “equally belittling and superficial.â€
I couldn’t agree more — though the reaction would a little different.
Trebek: “Arms and legs harvested from inhumanely-treated poultry, submersed in hot lard and served with fluids known to cause poor judgment.â€
Answer: “What are hot wings and ice-cold beer?â€
Trebek: “A private room in a house outfitted with large display monitors, fermented adult beverages and no women.
Answer: What is a man cave?â€
Trebek: “The lyrics are: ‘It’s hard to kiss the lips at night that chew my butt off all day long.’â€
Answer: “What is a great country song?â€
Male tweeters and bloggers would respond with joy and hilarity if “Jeopardy†applied such stereotypes to them.
Unfortunately, we live in a time when we are expected to disregard one truth: that men and women are different. We are supposed to believe that there are zero emotional or mental differences among the sexes.
Why, just as many men as women worry about sweeping the rug and keeping the house spotless — even though humorist P.J. O’Rourke says typical males clean their place about once every girlfriend.
Just as many men as women like to wear stylish, color-matching sweatsuits in Pilates classes — and have a group latte afterward to discuss baby showers, relationships and the spring sale at Bed, Bath & Beyond.
Just as many men as women are asking their spouses these days if their Levi jeans are making their backsides look fat.
So it’s no wonder women are so offended by a silly game show.
AOL news sums up their indignation well: “Rather than focus on serious topics like equal rights or significant achievements of women, the new section was filled with stereotypes of housework, fitted jeans and Pilates.â€
OK, fair enough. Here’s what is also fair: This heated overreaction is telling about where we are as a nation and a society.
We are becoming masters at responding with indignation to matters that are small as we lose the ability to distinguish small matters from those that are truly large.
Right now the Middle East is going up in flames, the Ebola virus is running amok in West Africa and looking to expand, ObamaCare is killing any hopes of economic vitality and we are nearing $20 trillion in debt — an amount we can never repay.
But too few are indignant about our very real challenges.
I’ll bet more people would find offense with these “Jeopardy†clues:
Trebek: “Absolutely nothing.â€
Answer: “What are men really thinking?â€

PET OF THE WEEK
My name is Zoey, a female black Lab mix! I am about 2 years old, and I’m not going to lie – I’m a pretty shy girl. I’m going to need a family with older kids who has plenty of time to socialize me and help build my confidence, letting me know that people & other dogs aren’t always scary. I have a cute short muzzle, like I may be possibly mixed with Boxer. I’m almost completely pottytrained, and my $100 adoption fee includes my spay, registered microchip, vaccines, and more!
