WHEN I COMPARE MY MEMORY TO... SAY MEGAN'S OR MOST ANYONE'S ... I AM WOEFULLY DEFICIENT. I AM LUCKY NOW.. THAT I HAVE THE ESXCUSE OF BEING 82- ----- ALL TEH ADVERTISEMENTS TELL YOU ABOUT THINGS TO STOP TEH MEMORY LOSS OF OLD AGE. -- ALL THESE CURES ARE PUSHED BY A BUNCH OF VERY WIERD PEOPLE WHO DO THINGS LIKE STUDY TEH EATING OF JELLY FISH SO THEY CAN SELL BOXES OF POWDERED JELLYFISH TO AN UNSUSPECTING PUBLIC WHO MAY HAVE BETTER MEMORY BUT DON'T STOP TO WONDER THINGS--- LIKE HOW AND WHY JELLYFISH???
IT IS DIFFICULT TO WRITE ABOUT MY MEMORY- BECAUSE I NEVER HAD MUCH OF ONE.- IN HIGH SCHOOL- I HAD A FEW FRIENDS WHO'S NAMES I KNEW-- BUT I WAS AWARE AT THAT POINT- MOST PEOPLE KNEW THE NAMES OF MORE PEOPLE THAN I DID. I DON'T DARE GO TO REUNIONS... I WILL KNOW THE NAMES OF 3-- TEH REST MAY LOOK FAMILIAR.... BUT...
WHICH IS ALSO WHY I WAS SUCH A FAILURE AT SOMETHIGN LIKE HISTORY. 54 40 AND FIGHT IS ABOUT THE LIMIT OF MY HISTORY KNOWLEDGE.. IF I READ A BOOK ABOUT MORE THAN ONE OR TWO PEOPLE , I HAD TO WRITE DOWN WHO THEY WERRE INSIDE THE COVER TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT/. SO MEMORY HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM. NOW I HAVE AN EXCUSE....
WHY CAN I REMEMBER THESE POEMS I DO NOT KNOW... MAYBE IT IS BECAUSE MY MOTHER USED TO HANG UP POEMS ON OUR MIRRORS AND WE EARNED MONEY TO MEMORIZE THEM/-- I DID NOT THINK THERE WAS ANY MONEY IN HISTORY-- WHICH IS APPARENTLY THE SAME OPINION OF ALOT OF PEOPLE NOW..

WE REALLY NEED SOME HEFTY HELP AROUND HERE-- THERE IS FENCING DOWN. AND OTHER STUFF.. WE WOULD BE IN TERRIBLE SHAPE IF IT WAS NOT FOR BUD--- HE KEEPS FIXING THINGS AND MAKING THINGS RUN. BUT HE IS NOT THRILLED WITH HEAVY DUTY POUNDING OF POSTS.... OR SHOVELING OF TEH SNOW I KNOW WE WILL GET.
JUST A HEADS UP--- I WILL GIVE EVERYONE THE DETAILS VERY SOON... EXPLORE HAS OFFERED TO RUN AND MATCH A FUNDRAiser - SO I THINK WE WILL HAVE THE FUNDS TO HIRE ONE MORE PERSON TO HELP WITH THE HEAVY STUFF- IT IS NOTHING I WOULD NOT (AND PROBABLY DID) DO MYSELF-- BUT I JUST CAN'T. BY THE TIME I GET 150 FEET DOWN A fence line, i can't do anything about it... i still blame the staminia on teh electrical accident i had with bentley. he has no stamina since.. either.

NOW FOR TEH VENTING....
i am getting too sensitive--- it is tough to wake up to a bunch of emails telling me all the things one or two of you are unhappy about.. namely how teh donkeys are forced out in the rain-- it is a lovely nice rain-- plus tehre is anotehr stall behind that wall you can not see with this camera.
then a complaint about teh camera position not allowing a few inches and teh inside wall.
please spare me.... i am trying to maximize everyone's camera "experience" and still get a full night's sleep. let me phrase it this way... my sleep takes precedence over anyone's concern about not being able to see anything on TEH ENTIRE craZY ACRES. WHAT HAPPENS WITH CAMERAS HAS ALOT TO DO WITH MY SLEEP---EXPLORE,--- AND VERIZON, PLUS HAVING TIME TO DO THE ACTUAL MOVING OF CAMERAS IN TEH FIRST PLACE.
I KNOW MOST OF YOU RESPECT MY DESIRE FOR A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP- AND MOST OF YOU HAVE LEARNED OVER THE YEARS- THAT BIRDS IN THE BARN ARE A NORMAL THING
WHAT I HAVE TROUBLE WITH IS-- WITH 500 TO 1000 PEOPLE WATCHING I AM GOING TO HAVE ONE OR TWO THAT ARE EITHER UNHAPPY AND SURE WE ARE NEGLECTING THE ANIMALS -- OR THINK CRAZY ACRES CAN NOT SURVIVE WITHOUT THEIR OPINION ON HOW THEY COULD RUN THE PLACE BETTER.-
REST ASSURED, IF I MAKE ANY CHANGES AROUND HERE IT IS TRYING TO SOLVE ONE PROBLEM THAT I CONSIDER MORE OF AN ISSUE THAN SOME OTHER. IN THE MEANTIME I AM TRYING.....I WILL MAKE GOOD AND BAD DECISIONS AND YOU ARE STUCK WITH IT.... MOST OF THE STUFF IS WORKING OUT PRETTY WELL.

LUCKILY I HAVE A BAD MEMORY
