I AM GLAD YOU ALL ENJOYED DR.BOB'S DISSERTATION ON THE IQ OF A FLY...
A COLLEGE FRIEND OF MY DAUGHTER GWEN... HE AND I HAVE SOLVED MANY PROBLEMS
OVER THE YEARS...
THE ONLY TERRIBLE DISAGREEMENT WE HAVE HAD... WAS THE DAY I BECAME VERY
AGGITATED OVER THE TIDE CHART IN TH E BOSTON GLOBE.
HE HAS A PROBLEM WITH MY CONVICTION THAT WATER FLOWS DOWN HILL-- AND SEEKS
IT'S OWN LEVEL--
ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE TROUBLE WITH THAT -- ESPECIALLY THOSE IN NEW ORLEANS --
CASE IN POINT--- AS OF 15 YEARS AGO--( AND SORRY TO SAY I WAS SO UPSET I
HAVE NOT CHECKED THE TIDE CHARTS SINCE....) IF THE HIGH TIDE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
BANGOR MAINE AND BOSTON IS 6 MINUTES, WHAT IS GOING ON IN NEW BEDFORD WHERE
TOWNS AROUND THERE HAVE 3 OR 4 HOURS DIFFERENCE IN HIGH TIDE.?
ROBERT BURNS SAID "NAE MAN CAN TETHER TIME NOR TIDE" AND I BELIEVED HIM--
WELL SOMEBODY ON THE CAPE IS SCREWING AROUND WITH IT-- THERE HAS TO BE A
BIG PILE OF WATER SLOSHING AROUND FULL OF ENERGY...
FORGET THE WINDMILLS-- WATER IS FULL OF ENERGY-- ESPECIALLY IN A
PILE.
I NEVER LIKED BOB'S EXPLINATION--
HE TRIED TO SIDE TRACK ME BY SAYING HIS BIG CONCERN ABOUT THE ATLANTIC WAS
THE "BALANCE OF NATURE"-----THAT ALOT OF FOOD IS GROWN IN CALIFORNIA- THEN
SHIPPED TO THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ON THE EAST COAST - WHO CHEWED IT SWALLOWED IT
AND PASSED IT INTO THE ATLANTIC WHEN IT'S ORIGIN WAS WEST OF THE ROCKIES--I.E.
PACIFIC ORIENTED..
I DID NOT LIKE HIS SOLUTION THERE EITHER.
*****************
SOOOOOO... REALLY GOOD NEWS
Teal and Jocelyn went back to school on Wed. this week. He was a
little timid going in ( like" Oh, we're HERE again"), but he did great. As for
today, Jocelyn said he was even better today. There was a fire drill again at
school ( it seems like they do them weekly) and Teal walked about 15 feet
farther than before. The school is working with Jocelyn and Teal with the fire
drills instead of complaining. I thought for sure they would be complaining more
or trying to find Teal's faults, but they all love him!! He is broken from his
bathroom fear for the most part. The cat still wears the pants in their
relationship!! We are hoping to be down to visit either this Sunday or next
Sunday!!
Thanks,
Mandy, Jocelyn and Teal
Thanks,

SHE IS WALKING !! THAT 7 SECOND VIDEO SAYS IT ALL... IF I CAN FIND IT I
WILL ATTACH IT-- IT IS SIDEWAYS-- BUT THAT IS THE BEST I CAN DO.

MEGAN AND I STOPPED IN AT THE IPSWICH MIDDLE SCHOOL WITH FIONA AND LULU--
WHAT A PERFECT CROWD TRAINING PLACE-- IT IS FAR BETTER THAN CHRISTMAS
SHOPPING
JUST TO GO THERE AND STAND AROUND AT CLASS CHANGING TIME--- WAS GOOD FOR A
MONTH OF NORTH SHORE MALL VISITS.
I CAN REPORT THAT LULU HAS GOOD RECOVERY TIME
SHE GAVE ONE HS (HOLY SH#T) AND THEN SETTLED TO WORRY MILDLY...
MEGAN AND FIONA TALKED WITH THE PRINCIPAL WHO SEEMED TO ACCEPT US.
IT IS USUALLY A CASE OF -- BY THE TIME THEY FIND US WE HAVE ACCOMPOLISHED
WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO. ... EXPOSED THE DOGS TO CROWDS..
**************
SO NOW... HAVING DEALT WITH THE TIDES....THE WEATHER IS OUR NEXT
PROBLEM.
IN AN EFFORT NOT TO TURN ON THE HEAT ANY SOONER THAN WE HAVE TO... WE NEED
TO GET WOOD PILED NEXT TO THE VARIOUS STOVES=.
AN OIL COMPANY CALLED TO OFFER ME A SPECIAL DEAL $3.89 PER GALLON OF
HEATING OIL - WHEN I PUT IN ALL THESE FURNASES OIL WAS $1.15-- BESIDES THAT --
OUR FURNASES USE KEROSENE- BARN--LAUNDRY--GUEST CABIN-- 2 INTHE HOUSE. THEY
ARE GREAT--- BLOWING HOT AIR VENTING THRU THE WALL. BUT HEAT IS A CONSTANT
WORRY.
THE PUP'S ROOM HAS A SIZEABLE ELECTRIC HEATER-
NOW THINK--- BLIZZARD AND LOSS OF ELECTRICITY-- THESE DOGS HAVE NOT
WINTER COAT --- AND I CAN NOT PUT JACKETS ON THEM AND LEAVE THEM TO GET TANGLED
SOMEHOW--- WE NEED TO GET OUR EMERGENCY SNOW CHAIN SET UP.. SO IF A STORM IS
COMING-- EVERYONE NEAR HERE TAKES A DOG OR TWO SO THE REST CAN GET IN WHERE
THERE ARE WOOD STOVES -- LIKE MY KITCHEN-- THE LAUNDRY-- THE TRAINING ROOM --
GUEST HOUSE--NUTT HOUSE AND DEAGLE HOUSE.
WHICH IS ALOT OF WOOD LUGGING... BETTER WE DO THAT NOW.,
THANKS TO BUD1'S WOOD SPLITTING TALENTS WE HAVE A HUGE PILE OF
FIREWOOD..
ACTUALLY -- I HAVE ONE UNTRIED COAL STOVE-- BETTER GET THAT TRIED...
ALONG THOSE SAME LINES--- PLEASE --- EVERYONE WANDERING -- EVERY DOOR IS
SUPPOSED TO HAVE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER NEXT TO IT... AS YOU GO THRU, GLANCE TO BE
SURE THEY ARE ALL OK--- AND IF YOU ARE REALLY ORGANIZED-- WRITE THE DATE ON THE
TAG.... MAKES US LOOK GOOD.
*************
I NEED TO FUGURE OUT WHY THE PUPS SLEEP NEXT TO THE DOOR IN THE PUPPY
ROOM--- WHY DO THEY PILE THERE-- IT HAS TO BE THE COOLEST PLACE IN THAT
ROOM--
MUST GBE A REASON.. IT IS NOT MORE PADDED...
*************
NORMAL SCHEDULE
I THINK...
OUT LATE MORNING IF POSSIBLE
