Megan is coming today to pick up may and her puppy for an overnight... the pups are on 3 meals a day and may could stand some relief...goqal is to get them weamned in the next few days and she can get her home for some R & R
Habits are hard to break .....I forgot and type d that ---
May looks very thin.. in spite of what would be called massive meals with chicken ... beef ..cheese,,,and whipped cream. She will be very happy to go with Megan and I'm sure tomorrow morning will be very happy to come back as she continues to make milk when she's gone . she will have one puppy with her to help drain the faucets but that's not the same as all nine . Both litters of pups looke wonderful even if the mothers are a little worse for wear .

Huge storm went through here last night and I haven't done anything besides look out one window and I don't see any trees down but we could have a problem .
which makes me think--- I should never complained about too much snow when the rest of the country is either on fire or drowning . The only thing that hasn't happened which they are forecasting is for the earth to be hit by a meteorite the 1st of November so I'm wondering if whatever gods there are have saved New England for that occurrence ? I did hear on The Weather Channel there was a correction that it's only 7 feet across so therefore shouldn't do any damage well I can think of plenty places where seven feet can do an awful lot of damage however ...
those people watching our cameras can tell how hard it's raining by watching the chicken coop camera where if it's this is significant rainfall a River will start to run from right to left .
Small fyi ----From tiny depressions great caverns are built or something like that

the edge of our hottop had a very small depression right with this River crosses and with each rainstorm that depression goes down another half inch which is now beginning to undermine the hot top.... it was so insignificant to start with so I didn't pay any attention but I've now filled that damn hole three times since they put that hot top down couple months ago ... once again displaying the fact that when it comes to water the water will have its way ...
the state of mass has decided to open colleges and restaurants which has mixed up my plans for the fall... lynn is still coming mid september... but I had 2 othere barn and grounds keeper /generic help types who now cannot come..... I had several really good people all set to start September 1st becausw they were .. Either college students or in the hospitality business which they called restaurants and thought they would be out of a job at that point..... now the colleges calling the students full time while they're providing one or two lectures a week they charging full tuition... I'm having a problem with that ... especially if the professor opps to stay home and lecture by the Internet . it's bad enough with Colby grandson and the university of New Hampshire and Laura with nursing school but the worst I've heard is niece debbie's twin sons getting their college education at home via computer for $60,000 a year each .
Janine --- the X college professor---- had a very interesting take on the requirements for a degree versus the cost of getting those requirements and how those requirements would be provided
this problem is not restricted to those 50 colleges or so that went out of business on a Friday about a year ago, Leaving the students with no course credits and a huge student loan . that story fell out of the news cycle but thousands of students were hurt .now with all this cLV confusion and virtual classes where is the value in the real world of these virtual classes

Long live Mike Rowe ( tv’s dirty jobs) .. when the handyman in topsfield is charging $85 an hour cash on the barrelhead .. and I found it even better one well the man came to pick up the dead donkey, he had a brand new truck and winch ....... it was early on a Sunday morning he loaded that donkey and as I handed him the $500 cash he said he had two more to pick up that morning that's $1500 cash .
not that we should all go into the donkey rendering business but it indicates there are certain Americans who will survive . all is not lossed ....yet .
....
Mind you I hope someone is studying how to cure cancer and the COV 919 but I do suspect The concentration of many of these colleges is to get the students there so they can charge them with very little regard for the actual value received .
it is a business

In Britain I think the students are divided at an early age into University students or trade students .... consequently Britain has an adequate number of plumbers and doctors
and I'm not sure we have either .
Medical insaurance Is being matched by pet health insurance and then insurance against anything in your household breaking . pretty soon plumbers will have to deal with pre existing conditions and codes for broken pipe , frozen ---or---- broken pipe, impact .
