i hate to pull a scientific fact into the much more interesting world of speculation...... but i did hear someone say scientific facts were going to be the rule of law in this cov bit... well let me add one outside cov......
and before i start --- sometimes in science it is tough to "prove a negative" and to keep you thoughts pure... take xrays of bred female dogs.... "yes" that dog is pregnant....means that female is pregnant in that xray at that time. ---------"no" means only that no pups were seen in that xray at that time. but there is many a slip twixt cup and lip.... and there could be 4 pups hiding behind a rib or two, making the "no" totallly inaccurate. now depending on th e question is asked " is she going to have pups?" both are really "probably" yes or no.. absolutes can be tricky
except... if you detach an apple from a tree or any other artificial means of support ... it will fall down... gravity is like that... and mr newton declared it so.
. "i shot an arrow into the air-- it fell to earth i know not where". well it danm well fell somewhere. so don't let anyone convinv\ce you " oh it is still up there, disappeared into the clouds." is a bunch of crapola.
the internet is a prolific source of " conventional wisdom"
conventional wisdom may be conventional ... but it ain't necessarily even remotely wise.....
lets try the logic....
"speak up -- we can not hear in the back of the room" if this staTEMENT was not true, we never would have invented the microphones. and teh world would be an incredibly noisy place. buT it is not noisy...SOUND DOES GO AWAY... WE DO NEED MIC'S TO HEAR BECAUSE. THE SOUND IS DIFFERENT 30 FEET AWAY AT THE OTHER END OF A ROOM. THAT PART OF THIS WISDOM IS CORRECT AND CONVENTIONAL---- SO OVER TIME THE PHD'S LIKE . MR NEWTONS GOT A GOVERNMENT GRANT OVER THERE IN GREECE OR SOUTH WALES.... AND DEVISED A LAW ABOUT HOW MUCH AND WHEN.... AND THAT LAW OF PHYSICS CAN BE DEMONSTRATED TO BE ACCURATE BY REPLICATING THE EXERCISE..
WHICH IS WHAT I DID YESTERDAY.... JUST SITTING AROUND IN MY SUNNY DAY GOLF CART MAKING NOTES...
MR BROWN WAS MY HIGH SCHOOL PHYSICS TEACHER-- ONE DAY TO DESCRIBE SOME GRAVITATIONAL FORCE HE CLIMBED UP ON THE TABLE-- VERY MUCH LIKE THE GUY FROM MIT.... WHO STANDS WITH BACK AGAINST THE WALL WITH PENDELUM AT HIS NOSE. AND RELEASES THE PENDULUM KNOWING FULL WELL IT WILL SWING BACK AND ONLY BRUSH AGAINST HIS NOSE. THERE IS NO "PROBABLE". IN THE LAWS OF PHYSICS.
THERE EVEN IS A BROADWAY MUSIC...... THE FIRST AND SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS....... HEAT WON'T PASS FROM THE COOLER TO THE HOTTER... BECAUSE THE. HOTTER BODY'S HEAT WILL PASS TO THE COOLER" ( DONALD SWANN)
AND I DID HEAR IT SAID. ON TV THAT THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT WILL RELY ON PERSONS OF SCIENCE....I HARDLY QUALIFY.. BUT I SURE WILL HAVE A GO AT IT... AS I WATCH DR POL USE HIS FUNNY SAW TO REMOVE THE DANGEROUS HORNS FROM SSOME WOOLY CREATURE.
AND THE COV SHOT IS CALLED FAUCHI'S OUCHY ...

ANOTHER TIGGER TIE... WE ARE PROBAbly GOING TO HAVE PUPS 63 DAYS FROM NOW- JUNE WILL BE BUSTIN OUT ALL OVER.... HOPEFULLY...
SHOULD GIVE US PLENTY OF TIME FOR VACINATED VOLUNTEERS ( V SQUARED) TO COLLECT ALL THE BROWN PINE CONES WHICH ARE CURRENTLY BEING CONFUSED WITH UN PICKED POO.
I REALLY WANT TO MAKE THE "PPEN" IN FRONT OF TH E T TENT TEH VERY LITTLE PUPPY PLAY YARD.... COMPLETE WITH GRASS????? THIS WILL R EQUIRE THE REMOVAL OF 17 YARDS OPF STONE DUST FROM THE PARKING AREA WHICH SOME INEXPERIENCED PLOWER OF SNOW SHOVED INTO A PILE IN WHAT WAS GRASS.. WHICH REMINDS ME.......
USTA BEEEEEEE 100 YEARS AGO WHEN THE V PEN ( NOW CHICKEN "YOLK HOUSE" ) WAS TEH PUPPY PEN, WE HAD A REALLY GREAT PIPE... PROBABLY 24 INCH DIAMETER.. AND THEY LOVED TO RUN THRU IT -- AND EVEN SLEEP IN IT/-- IT GOT DONATED TO THE "TRAIL" AROUND TEH "A" FIELD----AS A CULVERT TO GET THE STREAM ON IT'S WAY TO THE POND/ IPSWICH RIVER/. ATLANTIC OCEAN... SO WE NEED ANOTHR.... BEFORE YOU GENEROUS PEOPLE RUN OFF TOTHE PIPE STORE.... AND FIND OUT THEY WILL NOT SELL 8 FEET TO A NORMAL PERSON... I THING WE HAVE A RECIPIENT WHO IS NOT CONSIDERED A NORMAL PERSON TO THE PIPES ELLING STORE WHICH IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.. ANOTHE POSSIBLE IS... AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE TRANSFER STATION THERE IS A PILE OF PERFECT PIPE. AND I DON'T KNOW WHO OWNS IT.. BUT SOME DARK NIGHT.... WHEN TEH MOON SHINES OVER THE MOUNTAIN... MAYBE IT COULD BE DONATED TO THE PUPPY PROJECT. BEING PLASTIC.. IT IS VERY LIGHT... ONE PERSON TYPE LIGHT.
UNLIKE THE FIRE HYDRANT LYNN CASHMAN AND I SAW LYING UNATTENDED IN THE MARKETBASKET PARKING LOT... THAT WAS LONG AGO... BUT JUST AFTER SHE HAD FOUND A GREAT DANE IN A RESCUE "POUND" AND TAKEN IT AND GIVEN IT TO ME. .. SO WE FIGURED WE NEEDED TO CLEAR THAT OUT OF THE PARKING AREA BEFORE SOMONE HIT IT AND GOT HURT.... I WAS IN GOOD SHAPE THEN-- AND LYNN WAS EVFEN BETTER SHAPE AS BOTH OPF US HAD SPENT YEARS SHOVELING MANURE.
LESSON FOR THE DAY...... LET ME TELL YOU == A FIRE HYDRANT WITH 4 FEET OF IRON PIPE ATTACHED IS NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY... AS WE STRUGGLED TO GET IT INTO MY TRUCK WE WONDERED HOW MANY SECCURITY CAMERAS WERE WATCHING US.. APPARENTLY NONE AS WE WERE NOT ARRESTED.
THAT DANE SHE GAVE ME... A BROWN ONE WAS TEH DANE WHO TAUGHT ME DANES THINK AND TALK.... I HAD NOT HAD HIM A WEEK, WHEN HE CAME TO MEAMD STOOD IN FRONT OF ME HOLDING A DOG FOOD CAN.... AND NOT MOVING.... I STARTED TO TAKE IT AWAY FROM N\HIM WHEN I NOTICED SOMEONE HAD OPENED THE CAN PART WAY AND BENT THE LID IN... WHICH WE USED TO DO ALL THE TIME... WELL HE HAD TRIED TO LICK OUT THE CONTENTS OF THE CAN AND THE SHARP EDGE OF THAT LID WAS WEDGING HIS TONGUE AGAINST THE SIDE... IF I HAD PULLED I WOULD HAVE CUT OFF HIS TONGUE.. BUT HE HAD SUCH A STRAnge look in his eyes. I STOPPED.. AND HE LET ME UN-WEDGE HIS TONGUE.. THEN HOPPED AROUND DELIGHTEDLY THANKING ME FOR SAVING HIM....
TO THIS DAY. WE CRUSH DOG FOOD CANS--- BEFORE WE HAD TEH PULL TOP OPEN, I HAD DONE SO MANY THAT I COULD USE ONE HAND TO FLATTEN..-
I HAVE REGRESSED TO TWO HANDS... MOST LIKELY .. ONE FOOT WILL BE NEXT. AGE IS A DELICATE THING

THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF MY FAVORITE PICTURES OF BENTLEY... OUR #1 STUD DOG..... SWINGING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. TAIL WAGGING JOWLS FLAPPING FOLLOWING HIS HOST OR HOSTESS WHO HE DID NOT KNOW TOO WELL... THE REALLY IMPRESSIN\VE THINGS-- NO LEASH ... NO COLLAR... NO LIST OF COMMANDS THAT HE HAS BEEN TAUGHT. PLUS HE IS TROTTING WITH A PERFECT DIAGIONAL TROT. --- I.E.. PERFECT JOINTS AND HE IS PUSHING 10 YEARS OLD.... OR IS IT 11??? NOW COMPARE THAT PICTURE WITH ALL THE RUMORS YOU HEAR ABOUT DANES...
