one week to go ⅓ BRICKS SOLD AAAAAUUUUGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH.
THE BRICK GUY GAVE ME A SPREADSHEET OF ALL THE DONORS SINCE JAN 2016-- VERY INTERESTING--ONE SPECTACULAR THING IS NO ONE BOUGHT A BRICK ON THE 10 DAYS BEFORE 4/15..( INCOME TAX DAY) ALL THOSE $10 ARE SO CRITICAL... SO FOR THOSE WHO CAN SPARE IT... DON'T FORGET IT... IT IS KEEPING US ALIVE !!!

AND TOMORROW THEY POUR CONCRETE.. SO I AM TOLD...

YESTERDAY----. 2 THANK YOUS...... WE HAD A NICE LETTER FROM A LOCAL POLICE STATION- THEY WERE SO PLEASED TO GET THE LIFE SAVERS A VOLUNTEER HAD GIVEN THEM-- AND AT MAIL CALL A CP INCLUDED A LETTER SHE HAD REDCIEVED FROM HER POLICE DEPARTMENT.
SCREWY IDEA-- BUT LIFE SAVERS ARE NOT EXPENSIVE... AND EASY TO CARRY IN YOUR CAR TO STICK OUT THE WINDOW AND GIVE TO SOME POLICE PERSON STANDING ON SOME STREET CORNER..
BRAVE THE STORM -- BUY A FEW ROLLS AND KEEP THEM READY--
LIKE THE CAKE TO FIRE DEPRTMENTS ON THE 19TH... WHY NOT???
I SUPPOSE I SHOULD DO SOMETHING FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT MAN AROUND SDP... THAT IS THE TRASH COLLECTOR-- WELL MAYBE HE IS TE 2ND MOST IMPORTANT-- I WOULD HAVE TO PUT THE PERSON WHO MAKES SURE OUR WATER RUNS IS TEH MOST CRITICAL... BUT TRASH IS SECOND !!
WATER-- ONE OF THOSE THINGS WE TAKE FOR GRANTED
EXCEPT FOR THOSE IN FLINT MICH....
I AM TOLD IPSWICH HAS 20 DAYS OF WATER LEFT- THEY DON'T SAY WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT... AND NO SIGNIFICANT RAIN IS DUE FOR MONTHS... I GUESS WE DRAW WATER FROM BOSTON SOURCES..
NOT LOOKING GOOD. WE USE AN AWFUL LOT OF WATER, I HOPE THEY DON'T THREATEN TO SHUT US OFF... BUT IT MIGHT COME TO THAT... YOU CAN'T MAKE THE STUFF. WE ARE DOING LESS LAUNDRY AND GIVING KENNELS JUST A QUICK SPRAY OFF-- I WAS ABOUT TO SAY "THAT IS THE BEST WE CAN DO" BUT IT CLEARLY IS NOT. THE BEST WOULD BE TO HANG ALL DIRTY LAUNDRY OUT AND LET THE BREEZES HELP.. WE WOULDN'T SMELL AS GOOD....
THE BIG FARM UP THE STREET HAS A HUGE WATERING /FIRE POND WHICH IS NEARLY DOWN TO MUD ONLY.-- WE MAY NOT HAVE ANY CORN ON THE COB THIS YEAR...
AND WE ARE ABOUT TO SHUT OFF OUR FOUNTAINS BECAUSE THEY MAY BE DRAWING MUD SOON...
I WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR BOSTON'S CHARLES RIVER IS CLEAN ENOUGH FOR SWIMMING -- I HAD HEARD OF A GROUP OF "CLEAN UP THE CHARLES" BUT I ASSUMED THEY WOULDN'T GET ANYTHING DONE.. BUT APPARENTLY THEY HAD CLOUT SOMEWHERE. I CAN REMEMBER 70 YEARS AGO MY MOTHER WAS TRYING TO CLEAN UP THE HUDSON...
*************
ANNIE WAS HERE ALL YESTERDAY ... LOOKING AND ACTING BETTER ALL THE TIME...
******
NOT SLEEPING MUCH I GOT TO WATCHING TEH 1980'S ON CNN- AND IT DID MAKE ME WONDER.. HOW MANY OF THE PRESIDENTS WERE LEFT HANDED....?
A DULL NIGHT...
