We are considering welcoming Baba Yaga into our WLBOTT<\/strong> community. She had a WLBOTT<\/strong> vibe before it was so <\/strong><\/em>very <\/strong><\/em>cool<\/strong><\/em> to be WLBOTT<\/strong>. As you’ve seen from our recent blotts, Baba Yaga has taken steps to rehabilitate her image – vegan alternatives to eating children, getting dental care for her iron teeth, etc. What else can help Baba Yaga improve her image, without damaging her essential character?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Poster Child for Flossing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The staff at Austin Metal Dental<\/strong> were so impressed by Baba Yaga’s oral hygiene that they made her the poster child for flossing. Her poster in now displayed in their eighteen locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pickleball<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What better way to become part of the local community! Baba Yaga<\/strong> headed down to the local Y, with her Silver Sneakers<\/strong><\/em> pass card, and signed up for Pickle Ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially the other players were a bit put off by Baba Yaga’s aggressive style of playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But soon she was accepted, even embraced, by the Y Pickle People<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Quiet Evening at Home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Baba Yaga<\/strong>, one of the unexpected pleasures of moving to Central Texas was Rock ‘n Roll. Baba Yaga had never heard of Led Zeppelin, The White Stripes, or even Elvis! She immediately took to The Who’s song Baba O’Riley<\/strong><\/em>, realizing that Baba O’Riley was a distant Irish cousin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So in an effort to more deeply acculturate herself, she is determined to learn to play Baba O’Riley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
