WELL THAT WAS FUN. GOING TO THE BIG CITY IS USUALLY PAINFUL-- PARKING--- WALKING -- NO GOLF CARTS .. THINGS LIKE THAT.. BUT BUD DROVE WONDERFULY - I WASN'T SCARED ONCE- DROPPED US AT JANINE'S DOOR AND DISAPPEARED WITH THE CAR- AND FOUND A PLACE TO PARK IT RIGHT OUTSIDE JANINE'S WINDOW-- SO WE COULD WATCH IT. HE DROPPED KATI , THE 2 DOGS AND ME ONTO THE STREET- AND IT TOOK BOTH KATI AND I TO SHUT THE CAR DOOR... THE WIND WHIPS AROUND THOSE BUILDINGS SOMETHING FIERCE..
I NEVER WALKED SO FAR INSIDE A BUILDING---IT WAS ONE OF THOSE GLASS AND MARBLE THINGS BUMPING INTO THE SKYLINE OF BOSTON..
THE MOST AMUSING THING FOR ME WAS TO WATCH OLIVER-- HE OWNS THE JOINT... BEHAVING PERFECTLY, SHE SETS HIM UP WATCHING AGILITY DOG SHOWS ON HER LAPTOP-- AND HE STARES AT THE SCREEN-- HE SEEMS TO TOTALLY UNDERSTAND-- AND IS NOT CONSTANTLY RUNNING BEHIND THE SCREEN TO SEE WHAT IS BEHIND ..
IF THERE ARE NO DOGS ON THE SCREEN HE GOES AND CHECKS OTHER LAPTOPS TO SEEE WHO HAS ON THE "RIGHT" CHANNEL -- HE SEEMS TO BE THE PERFECT OFFICE DOG. USUALLY FOLLOWING 2 FEET BEHIND HER-- UNLESS SHE TELLS HIM TO "WAIT IN MY OFFICE." . AT WHICH TIME HE GOES IN AND MAKES THE ROUNDS OF THE LAPTOPS TO SEE " WHAT'S ON.".. IF NOTHING , HE LOOKS AT SOMEONE WITH A PATHETIC "WOULD YOU PLEASE CHANGE THIS CHANNEL FOR ME?"
****
I AM GLAD THE CP'S LOADED THE ATTENDANCE -- JANINE SAID ON A GOOD DAY THEY HAVE 40 VIEWERS-- YOU ALL MADE IT MORE LIKE 450--IT IS NOT EASY BEING ON THAT TYPE LIVE TV...I CHECKED TEH COMMENTS WHENI GOT HOME AND COUPLE PEOPLE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I SAID WE HAD DOGS FROM BELGUIM AND NOT THE NETHERLANDS..
I CERTAINLY DIDN'T MEAN TO SLIGHT NATASHJA-- I JUST COULDNT THINK OF THE WORD.. AND THOUGHT BELGIUM WAS CLOSE....
I WAS IMPRESSED WITH AVA-- AND CLARK FOR THAT MATTER -- AVA IS A GEM -- A VERY SLIGHT WORRY IN THE ELEVATOR-- BUT OTHERWISE RIGHT ON !
THEIR CONCENTRATION ON PEOPLE IS AMAZING... I THINK THE ANSWER IS THE CRAZY SPOON FEEDING AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE,IT CHANGES THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF TRAINING SERVICE DOGS---
***********
THERE ARE AN AWFUL LOT OF PEOPLE IN BOSTON...A RANDOM BUNCH WANDERING ALL OVER THE STREETS, THEY COME OUT FROM BETWEEN CARS- ONE WAS EVEN PERPENDICULAR TO THE WHITE PAINT OF A CROSS WALK. AND WELL USED BICYCLE LANES ARE NEW TO ME.
A RELATIVE OF MINE ONCE TOLD ME THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE IN NEW YORK--MANHATTAN.. THAT HE CALCULATED THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR EVERYONE TO COME DOWN OUT OF THOSE BUILDINGS AND STAND ON THE STREET SHOULDER TO SHOULDER,.
I NEVER CHECKED HIS CALCULATIONS BUT HE ALSO SAID THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES COULD STAND SHOULDER TO SHOULDER IN NORTH CAROLINA. THAT WAS YEARS AGO--- PROBABLY NOW IT WOULD BE BOTH CAROLINAS... HE MADE NO CALCULATION FOR PORTA POTTIES EITHER..
MAKING ME WONDER HOW MANY OF THESE PEOPLE WERE FROM PLANNED-- OR ACCIDENTAL PREGNANCIES.
ON THE NEWS THIS PAST WEEK.... I MAY NOT HAVE THE EXACT NUMBERS .... BUT.... JUDGE SCALLIA HAD 5 CHILDREN AND 27 GRANDCHILDREN... AND THAT WAS SAID IN A POSITIVE.." ISN'T IT WONDERFUL" TONE OF VOICE....
IF AS PER MY GARBOLOGY BOOK I WAS READING... EACH PERSON IN THE US CREATES 4 TONS OF TRASH PER YEAR--- THAT MEANS JUDGE SCALLIA WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING 32 X 4 OR 128 TONS OF TRASH PER YEAR.... FOR ALOT OF YEARS...
SOMEDAY THAT WILL BE THE NEWSWORTHY PART OF THE STORY.
*****
SPEAKING OF NEWS...LAST NIGHT'S DEBATE--
I THINK THE CLEAR WINNER WAS DR CARSON WHO SAID "WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE SAY SOMETHING BAD ABOUT ME SO THEY LET ME TALK".. BRIGHT GUY !!

56 DEGREES YESTERDAY-- TELL ME .. DID WE JUST PLAIN SKIP WINTER??
