PEOPLE ARE ARRIVEING-- AND I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD FROM PAM---- OUT ON THE CAPE.... I HATE TO ADMIT... I DO NOT HAVE A CLUE WHO MOST ALL OF THESE PEOPLE ARE... THANK HEAVENS FOR THE NAME BADGES-- WE HAD SO MANY FOR DINNER LAST NIGHT WE RAN OUT OF STOOLS AND FORKS....-- AND DINNER APPEARED COMPLIMENTS OF SANDY-- WHO-- THANK HEAVENS IS ITALIAN AND LOVES TO FEED PEOPLE WITH GREAT FOOD.....-- SHE ARRIVED WITH BAGS AND COOLERS- WE ( 8-10 PEOPLE THAT I DIDN'T KNOW EITHERE) HAD A PERFECT MEAL-- WHEN SHE WENT OUT THE DOOR, I ASKED WHERE SHE WAS FROM ...NEW YORK--- I HPE SHE DIDN'T GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO NY... I HOPE SHE IS AROND TODAY.. WE CAN NOT HAVE EATEN TALL THAT FOOD SHE LEFT HERE... JUST ANOTHERE EXAMPLE OF A SDP PERSON WHO TOOK ON ONE SMALL FACET OF THIS PLACE AND DID IT BEAUTIFULLY-
NOW ON THE TOPIC OF FORKS... LAST NIGHT AT MAIL CALL... SOMEONE SENT A HUGE BOX OF PLASTIC WRAPPED KNIFE FORK NAPKIN , SALT AND PEPPER-- WHAT A TERRIFFIC GIFT !! ANOTEHER PERFECT THOUGHT BY A CAMERA PERSON....
NOT UNLIKE STEVE #4? FROM OHIO... -- THE TRACTOR ABSOLUTELY DID NOT EVEN TRY TO TURN OVER WHEN I JUMPED ON TO MOVE ALL FALLEN TREE LIMBS--- SO I SWORE... MOVED MY LEFT FOOT AND IT STARTED PERFEDCTLY AND RAN FOR 2 HOURS--- NO PROBLEM..HOWWEVER -- I SHUT IT OFF.... NEVER TO START AGAIN... IT WOLDNT EVEN TRY... AND IT IWAS STUCK RIGHT ACROSS TEH BACK DRIVEWAY--- I THUMPED AND BANGED MY LEFT FOOT COMICALLY WHILE SWEARING... AND THAT PROCESS DID NOT WORK AGAIN...
--- WHILE ALSO JUMPOING UP AND DOWN ONTHE SEAT (BECAUSE IT HAS ONE OF THOSE BUTTONS UNDER THE SEAT SO IT WILL NOT RUN IF YOU ARE NOT IN THE SEAT...) I COULD NOT BELIEVE MY WEIGHT WAS INSUFFICIENT TO DEPRESS THAT BUTTON ... BUT WE TESTED IT. THEN #4 STEVE GOT A "METER" AND GOT IT RUNNING WHILE WE WAIT FOR BUD TO COME AND DECIDE WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THERE IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE CAPABILITIES OF SO MANY SDP VOLUNTEERS...
THAT TRACTOR COULD HAVE BEEN TIED UP FOR WEEKS TO AND FROM THE TRACTOR REPAIR STORE . JUST BECAUSE I LACKED A TINY BIT OF COURAGE TO FIGURE OUT HOW THOSE #$%^&*( METERS WORK... BUD WILL BE HERE TODAY... MAYBE HE CAN REDUCE THE KNOWLEDGE FOR ME ---TO 2 WIRES - 2 SCREWS KIND OF THING... I AM GOOD AT THAT...
*****
TEEPEE'S ARE IN MY MIND AT THE MOMENT-- A YEAR ROUND , WELL ORGANIZED HOUSEHOLD THAT COULD BE BUILT BY A WOMAN IN AN HOUR....--AND WAS NOT DEPENDENT ON A NATIONAL GRID FOR THAT ORGANIZATION... OUR ISOCIETY IS SOOOO DEPENDENT ON ARTIFICIAL SUPPORT...MUCH OF THE NATIVE AMERICAN TRADITIONS MAY COME BACK TO HAUNT US...
INCLUDING A VERY BASIC CONCEPT IN THT BOOK I AM STRUGGLING THRU AGAIN...."TRIBE" BY THE AUTHOR OF ?XXXXXSOMETHING ELSE I CAN'T REMEMBER...
SUNDAY AT DOG FEST WE WILL HAVE A REAL POW WOW.... ONE OF OUR RECIPIENTS IS A CHIEF AND WILL BE HOLDING A POW WOW AT 2:00 SUNDAY -- THAT WILL NOT BE ON CAMEA BECAUSE OF SACRED RITUALS--- BUT IT WILL BE INTERESTING...
HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE COMING TO LOOK US OVER AT 1:00 SUNDAY FOR A POSSIBLE 10 YEAR GRANT.... THEY WANG TO SEE US FUNCTIONOING... SO WE CAN'T REALLY GET READY--- WELL I DID ASK SOMEONE TO WASH THE 6 PASSENGER GOLF CART THAT WILL BE THE "TOUR BUS"-- I AM VRY PROUD OF THE WORK WE DO AND THE RESULTS WE HAVE ... JUST AS I AM FASCINATED BY ALL THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT US AND WILL BE HERE FOR THESE GRANT PEOPLE TO HAVE A LOOKK AT.... WE ARE WHAT WE ARE....
****
AND I HOPE MO BEHAVES... WE HAVE NOT PRACTICED THE TUG OR WART WITH HER... MAYBE TODAY???
*******
Hope someone has given you the news – but if not here it is ---- The lady who called you about the lost dog ---- DOG HAS BEEN FOUND and reunited with their owner.

AS A MOSTLY SILENT CP (Cheryl_CO), I HAVE ENJOYED WATCHING THE CAMERAS SINCE THE AUTHORS WERE ABOUT THE AGE OF THE HURRICANES. I DISCOVERED SDP WHEN I CAME TO EXPLORE LOOKING FOR SHARK CAMS. NOW I CAN'T WAIT TO GET HOME TO WATCH TRAINER TALK/MAIL CALL, AND LOOK IN ON THE PUPS AND DONKEYS EACH DAY. I READ THE DOGGIE DAILY ON THE NOOK, AND WATCH THE DOGS AND DONKEYS ON THE LAPTOP, WHILE GETTING READY FOR WORK. I HAVE BCOME ADDICTED TO SDP! CHERYL CO.
