Eleanor Roosevelt?

[Lazylion]

The other day I was driving up Market Street in downtown Frederick. Traffic stopped at the light at 5th St. I glanced to my right, and my eye fell on an electric meter, mounted on a metal box on the wall, as they usually are. On the box next to the meter was a sticker. It read "Eleanor Roosevelt was a man."

??Oh really? Is this true, I wondered momentarily. Was Eleanor really Elmer in drag? But then I realized that the more interesting question to me was:

Who goes out and gets a sticker made with this message? And why?

Maybe it's a band name.

If it’s not a band name, it should be.

One of the main characters in my novel is a female bulldog named Eleanor.

Where did you draw inspiration for this original character Slo?

 

[StyleOverShow]

Didn't think most people would get the reference.

She had a Julia Childs' voice, high and whispy, a tenor Elmer?

I went to a school called Roosevelt.

Perhaps the sticker author never saw a picture of Eleanor, but heard someone describe her, charitably, as "manly"-looking, rather than the more accurate but unkind "plug ugly", and wrongly concluded she was actually a man, then, due to a sad, but all too common desire to create social controversy, printed up the stickers. Can you hang on a second? My shaggy dog has wandered off.

It would be unkind to say that Eleanor Roosevelt looks like a bulldog. The dog is the story is someone who gives affection without expectations it is just who she is. She is also a good judge of character and able to see sense things in people that our eyes and ears might not take in.

This country could use more Eleanor Roosevelts. I’m ordering a dozen today!

He gave Eleanor a gentle squeeze and she licked his face.
Rusty wiped his face off with his sleeve and wagged his finger at Eleanor. “Hey you, what did I tell you about slobbering? From now on keep your drool and your tongue to yourself.”
Eleanor responded with a friendly bark and licked his outstretched finger. Duane and Diana smiled at each other and tried to keep from laughing. They both failed.

@slobake so, did Eleanor hang with Evelyn the modified dog in your story?

No, but she did say "arf" and hung out where the huskies go. You know, near the yellow snow.

One night I was watching the weather segment of the 11 o'clock news on one of the LA TV stations. The guy was talking about the weather being influenced by the local wind patterns, an offshore flow and a coastal eddy. Suddenly, I realized the turtle connection.
