A REPORT ON THE WORLD  BEYOND 37 BOXFORD RD.  ....I LEFT THE PROPERTY YESTERDAY...  IN SEARCH OF DRIED WORMS AND GRANULATED TURKEY STARTER FOR THE  APPROACHING GUINNEA  FOWL.  I FOLLOWED THE TRUCK INTO THR "FEED STORE" AND CAUGHT THE NEW DELIVERY OF DRIED MEALWORMS-- THE SPECIAL TREAT FOR GUINNEA HENS--- SO FOIR ALL YOU FOLK WORRYING ABOUT THE SHORTAGE OF TOILET PAPER, REST ASSURED---TP---IS PROBQBLY CONSIDERED MORE ESSENTIAL THAN WORMS, AND THEY ARE STILL DELIVERING WORMS. I THEN  WENT STRAIGHT ACROSS THE HIGHWAY - NOT JUST ANY HIGHWAY, BUT ....  US HIGHWAY NUMBER 1.. THE ROAD FROM MAINE TO FLORIDA. AS I LOOKED LEFT AND RIGHT( THEN LEFT AGAIN FOR THE PURISTS)   AS FAR AS I COULD SEE  IT WAS VERY NEWLY PAVED. NOW I REALIZE MAYBE IT IS ONOLY  TEH 2 MILES IN TOPSFIELD THAT I COULD.SEE, BUT IT IS RT 1  AND MAYBE JUST THE START OF IMPROVING THE HIGHWAYS IN GENERAL... CALL IT  IMPROVING THE INFRASTRUCTURE ??  AT LEAST IN TOPSFIELD... MAYBE THEY DID DO TEH ENTIRE MAINE TO FLORIDA ROAD. HAV ING CROSSED THE NEW  RT 1 SURFACE-- I WENT DIRECTLY INTO THE TOPSFIELSD FAIRGROUNDS-   RIGHT THRU THE GATE THAT SAID "NO ENTRY"  - I HAVE BEEN THROWN OUT OF BETTER PLACES--  FOR AN ENLIGHTENING DRIVE AROUND.-- THE WHOLE BACK PARKING LOT WHICH IS NOT VISABLE FROM THE STREET  IS BEING TURNED INTO A DRIVE IN MOVIE  WITH A HUGE SCREEN  AND SIGNS THAT SAY TUNE INTO FM97.SOMETHING... ALONG WITH OTHER SIGNS THAT SAY "PERMANENT REST ROOMS ----->  "  AND "FRENCH FRIES"   WELL THERE IS THE OLD AMERICAN INGENUITY IN ACTION... IDENTIFY A NEED AND FILL IT.   NOW IF THEY START SHOWING THE FOOTBALL  AND BASEBALL GAMES ON THOSE SCREENS .........    EXCLUSIVITY COUOLD MAKE THOSE PLACES EXTREMELY PROFITABLE.. THEY ALSO PARK SCHOOL BUSSES THERE -----  SINCE I LAST CHECKED. THERE ARE TWICE AS MANY IDLE SCHOOL BUSSES -- ( SOME EVEN HAD TEH SIGN IN THE BACK WINDOW ..... THIS BUS IS EMPTY.... A LONG STORY SEE DD ABOUT A YEAR AGO.) AND THERE WAS ADDED A FLEET OF VAN TYPE SCHOOL BUSSES  WHICH I HAVE SEEN PICKING UP SPECIAL ED STUDEN TS SO THEY ARE OUT OF SCHOOL TOO  I GUESS... WHAT A COLLECTION OF BUSSES THAT COULD BE REPURPOSED FOR SENIORS OR WHATEVER.. THEY SIT THERE. .....I HAVE ALSO THOGUTH  IF YOU ADDED A FEW GROUCHY GRANDMOTHERS TO THESE SCHOOL BUSSES MAYBE THE KIDS WOULD BEHAVE BETTER. ......IN THE EUROPE   I SAW.....  THERE IS ONE SET OF BUSSES AND  SCHOOL KIDS RIDE THEM WITH EVERYONE ELSE... THEY ARE TOLD TO  AND THEY DO IT. SLIDING FROM ONE TOPIC TOTHE NEXT....... IN EUROPE  THERE IS A PRACTICAL GET ON THAT BUS OR TRAIN AND GO TO SCHOOL--- IN AMERICA  WE PROVIDE BUSSES  IN SPITE OF THE FACT THT AROUND HERE PARENTS DRIVE THIER KIDS TO SCHOOL ANYWAY..   THERE IS THAT SELF SERVICE.. SPECIAL ATTENTION THAT IS A HUGE PROBLEM.  IN MY OPINION...   HOW MANY HUGE GATHERINGS HQVE YOU SEEN WHERE NO ONE IS MASKING UP.... WE ARE SPECIAL.... NO ONE IS GOING TO TELL ME TO WEAR A MASK....   OH GREAT !?  WHEN MARYANNE DELIVERED THOSE HORSES FROM THE SLAUGHTER PENS IN PENNA, SHE NOTED THERE WAS A HUGE CROWD IN PENNA AND NOT ONE MASK IN THE BUNCH. PUT THOSE CONCEPTS  TOGETHER AND YOU HAVE A BIG REASON THE AMERICAN  COV STATS ARE ABOUT THE WORST INTHE WORLD .. WE BETTER WAKE UP....  NOW WE ARE NOT SPECIAL.  WE BETTER JOIN FORCES WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD. I  HAVE SAID BEFORE, IN HANDLING PACKS OF DOGS... ALLIES ARE PEOPLE WITH COMMON ENEMIES.  THAT APPLIES NOT ONLY TO PACKS OF PEOPLE OR DOGS, THE INTERNET OR COUNTRIES.  WE NOW ARE STAGED AGAINST MOMMY NATURE AND FATHER TIME WHICH HAVE THE VIRUS AS AMMUNITION. ==== SO I DO  CARRY A MASK AND TRY TO REMEMBER TO PUT IT ON WHEN WITHIN 10 FEET OF SOMEONE... I HATE IT. I CALL IT MY MUZZLE....... I CAN ONLY EQUATE IT TO THE "GENTLE LEADER" DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING A DOG--AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR TRAINING.... DOGS HATE THEM... THEY GET USED TO IT---- BUT HOW CAN YOU TRIAN A DOG WHEN THE FIRST THING YOU DO IS PUT ON SOMETHING THEY HATE?
