Anyone who hangs around this corner knows of my Late-Life Cyber Love Affair with the incomparable blogger, Mr. Joe Hagy of Cranky Old Man,one of th funnist blogs on or off th plant.. We often toss bouquets at each other and rarely does a rude word pass between us, (though I oftn disagree with his position on things, w got Respect) but this past Tuesday Joe published his 2014 Walter Awards and knocked my socks off by bestowing one on me. This after the marvelous Manzanita's glowing tribute last week has both taken my breath away and given me a swelled head so monstrous it restricts me to the house because it is too damned big to pass through my doorways. I an assuming that this condition will gradually fade as I face reality in the coming weeks or months, but I cannot deny that I am enjoying the hell out of these Oscars/Walters.
I sit here facing the fact that the words "Thank You" are so puny as to be useless, but they are all I've got, espcially in this enfeebled state. So without futhr maundering I present below excerpts from Joe's Tuesday post

THE WALTER - 2014
A Cranky Old Man Award
 |
| "The Walter" |
It is September, time for the second annual awarding of
“The Walter.”
Because, unlike Suldog http://jimsuldog.blogspot.com/,
I believe there cannot be enough blog awards, so I have added my
own. It is named after Jeff Dunham’s hysterical cranky old man puppet,
“Walter.”
This
award recognizes those bloggers who post consistent (3 days a week or
more) original, humorous and or thought provoking material, and or
anyone I damn well feel like awarding it to.
To accept this award you need only grab it from above, and display it on your blog. (I assume no responsibility if it is stolen copy written material)
There
are no questions to answer. If recipients wish to award it to
anyone they feel meets the above criteria, you are hereby authorized to
do so.
If you want to see last year’s winners you can find them here:
The part of this process I don’t like is leaving out so many great bloggers. I
follow lots of bloggers, I like all the blogs that I follow and I read
all the posts; so if I follow, know you have received an Honorable
Mention Walter, also, there is always next year!
The Final WALTER is a Lifetime Achievement award and goes "It's always something..." posted by Lo @ http://loisstearns.blogspot.com/

If you can read this Lo, I must add “SPF!”
