BECKY HEARD IT--I HEARD ( AND FELT) ----IT WAS A BIG NOISE-- THE KIND YOU ALSO
FEEL.
SHE THOUGHT I FELL OUT OF BED-- BUT THEN HEARD ME COUGH SO FIGURED I WAS
OK..

***********
WE PUT ON THE NEWS TO SEE WHAT BLEW UP- AND WERE RELIEVED TO FIND IT WASN'T
BOSTON.
ONLY NEWS WAS A BRIDGE FAILING IN WASHINGTON -- STATE OF.
***********
WAAAAAAAY BACK-- PRESIDENT CARTER-- WHO IS A PHYSISIST WARNED OF THE
PERILOUS STATE OF THE BRIDGES AND LEVYS IN THIS COUNTRY.. AMONG OTHER
THINGS..
AT ANY RATE-- WHEN WE GO TO BUY DRY DOG FOOD AT SAM'S STORE -- THERE ARE
TWO BRIDGES ACROSS THE MERRIMAC RIVER-- ON ON RT 95-- AND A TINY ONE TO AN
ISLAND AND THEN ACROSS ON A TWO LANE ROAD.
A BEAM-- AKA LARGE CHUNK OF METAL--- FELL OUT OF THE RT 95 BRIDGE- IT WAS
QUICKLY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS NOT NECESSARY TO THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE
BRIDGE- SO WHATEVER GODS THERE BE SAW FIT TO START REPAIR ON THE TINY
BRIDGE.
I HOLD MY BREATH EVERY TIME WE HAVE TO GO BUY DOG FOOD.
THERE IS ALSO THE ASPECT... IF IT WAS NOT A STRUCTURAL PART OF THE
BRIDGE... WHERE THE BUILDERS PADDING THE BILL BY WELDING ON ODD BITS OF
METAL??
I ALWAYS OPEN MY WINDOW.. PER THE MYTHBUSTERS SUGGESTION..
********
KAREN AND DIDI ARRIVED LAST NIGHT FOR AN OVERNIGHT IN THE CABIN.. DIDI
LOOKS BEAUTIFUL AND KAREN SAYS SHE IS JUST THE PERFECT DOG. HAS FLOWN MANY
TIMES WITH HER.. AND THINGS LIKE THAT...
I SAID A QUICK GOODNIGHT AND FIGURED WE COULD CATCH UP ON DETAILS IN THE
MORNING.. I HAD A LONG DAY..
**********
ONE REAQSON THE DAY WAS LONG WAS INSOMNIA-- APPARENTLY MARIA HAD THE SAME
PROBLEM BECAUSE WE BOTH SAW THE SAME "INFOMERCIAL" ABOUT COOKING WITHOUT A
HEATERD SURFACE-- YOU KNOW- ONE OF THOSE "AND WAIT-- WE WILL DOUBLE THE OFFER
FOR JUST HANDLING AND SHIPPING"
WE WORKED THAT OVER A BIT... MARIA IS SOME KIND OF ENGINEER AND HAD SOME
WILD IDEA ABOUT MOLECULAR ENERGY AND ANNOYING MOLECULES. I WAS MORE INTERESTED
IN BOILING SPAGETTI FAST.
THE INFO MERCIAL WAS FULL OF PEOPLE IN CHEF'S HATS.
****
WHICH REMINDED ME ---- WE DECIDED THE 2 PUZZLE PICTURES WILL BE -- ME INTHE
CHEF'S HAT FEEDING 3 DOGS ( IF I CAN FIND THE JPEG)... AND THE SECOND WILL BE
BAILEY IN THE TREE.

MARIA IS WORKING ON THE DOGGIE BAG " STORE" FOR OUR WEB. I WILL
DEFINITELY NEED HELP RUNNING THT BECAUSE I ALREADY FORGOT AN ORDER FOR 5 MONKEY
FISTS-- AND I KNOW I HAVE A N ORDER FOR 2 FOR THE LUGGAGE AND IT WILL TAKE ME A
WHILE TO FIND THE ADDRESSES..
WE ARE A WORK IN PROCESS-
THOSE MONKEY FISTS CAN HAVE A PLAIN TAIL ( DOG TOY TYPE) --A LOOP-- TO
FASTEN IT TO SOMETHING-- OR A SNAP ..SO WE H AVE TO GET THAT INFO FROM WEB TO
ME IN THE T TENT

**************
TENTS..

TEAL AND JOCELYN AKA "57" MADE THE NEWS
http://m.wmur.com/nh-chronicle/tuesday-may-28th-great-danes-lend-a-paw/-/17440816/20277894/-/fmgubx/-/index.htmlIT
AND THE CHANEL 9 NEWS SHOULD AIR THIS WEEK.-- UNLESS THERE IS SOME OTHER
LOCAL DISASTER-- LIKE THE BRIDGE OVER THE MERRIMAC FALLING DOWN... BECAUSE OF
AN OVER WEIGHTED VAN WITH TOO MUCH DOG FOOD IN IT.
************
WE HAVE ALMOST MADE IT THRU THE WEEK WITH NO MEGAN-- AND NOW EARLENE IS
GONG SOUTH TO HELP HER SISTER AND HER KNEES/ HIPS... OR SOME OTHER JOINT..
EARLENE WILL BE GONE A WEEK.

THEN THERE IS THE CHICKEN BOARD--- I AM HAPPY TO SEE EVERYONE
PARTICIPATING IN THE SHATUPON SOCIETY'S FUNDRAISER.. I WAS CONCERNED THE PINK
ENVELOPES AND TIPI WOULD UPSET THE CHICKEN BOARD.... ON WHICH WE HAVE COME TO
DEPEND...
I WILL MAKE A DEAL-- SELL THAT OUT AND I WILL ACTUALLY PAY TO HAVE AN
ULTRASOUND TO SEE IF MERLOW IS PREGNANT-- SHE IS FAR ENOUGH ALONG WHERE IT
SHOULD SHOW....
************
WINSTON REPORT-
IF I HAD NOT SEEN THAT XTAY I WOULD SWEAR THER WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH
HIM.. HE HAD A HALF PILL OF DURAMAX AT NOON-- WE MISSED THE NIGHTIME PILL
AND HE STILL IS BOUNCING NOT A SINGLE YELP.
I KNOWS HIS NAME -- BIG TIME-- WHICH WILL HELP BECAUSE HE IS DESTINED NEVER
TO WEAR A COLLAR AT ALL.
I WILL BACK OFF ON PILLS TO SEE WHERE THE PILL WORKS AND NOT WORK-- AT THE
MOMENT IT LOOKS LIKE 1/2 PILL IS TOO MUCH--
A WORK IN PROGRESS.
HE IS ON CAMERA-- I WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE PLAYING HE DOES WITH THE
HANGING ROPE IF HE HAS THAT NECKJ INJURY..
WATCH HIM...
ONE LAST ABSOLUTELY RIDICOULOUS TOPIC
SHELIA HEARD OF MY PROBLEM OF INADVERTANTLY SMEARING VASOLINE IN MY
HAIR-- AND BOUGHT ME A JAR OF ORGANIC-VIRGIN COCONUT OIL--.. I DIDN'T READ THE
INSTRUCTIONS---- IF THERE WERE ANY.. SHE TOLD ME TO SCOOP A GLOB INTO MY BATH..
WHICH I DID.
THAT STUFF IS STRANGE -- IT MADE EVERYTHING SMOOTH AND SILKY.. INCLUDING
THE BATHTUB- THANK HEAVENS I HAVE A ROPE OVER THE TUB OR I WOULD BE SLIDING
AROUND IN IT STILL
SO I THEN READ THE DIRECTIONS AND IT TALKED OF NUTRITION AND CALLORIES .
SO NOW I GAIN WEIGHT BY BATHING??
REMEMBER MOST GREAT INVENTIONS WERE THE RESULT OF AN ACCIDENTAL
DISCOVERY
GOTTA WATCH HER --- NEXT SHE MAY SUGGEST PEANUT BUTTER...
I AM NOT YELLING-- I CAN NOT SEE the small print
