USTABEE.... I WOULD SAY " A PIECE OF PAPER WILL HOLD STILL AND YOU CAN WRITE ANYTHING ON IT"--- NOW REPLACED BY TEH INTERNET..
USTABEE WHEN I WAS A KID... I WAS THOUGHT THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WERE THE EDITORS OF RESPONSIBELE NEWSPAPERS SO YOU WERE GUARENTEED THAT WHATEVER YOU READ IN THEIR PAPER, THEY HAD VERIFIED BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT.
WHAAAAAAT HAPPENED...????? SOMETIMES I EVEN WONDER IF THE DAY AND DATE ARE VERIFIED AS CORRECT AS BOTH NEWS AND GOSSIP INTERMINGLE IRRESPONSIBLY.....SO THAT NORMAL PEOPLE CAN BE UNDER HORRENDOUS PERSONAL ATTACK BY PERSONS IN TH BUSINESS OF CREATING THE MOST SPECTACULAR NEWS OUT OF SOMEONE PUTTING THEIR TRASH OUT ON THE WRONG DAY. IN OTHER WORDS... JUST TRYING TO BE A NORMAL PERSON WITH NO COMPLICATIONS CAN INSTANTLY BE TERRIFYING.
DON'T BE A BOY SCOUT HELPING A LITTLE OLD LADY ACROSS THE STREET, WHAT IF SHE TRIPS AND FALLS .... SHE COULD SUE YOU...
JUST LET HER STAGGER ON AND DON'T GET INVOLVED......--
DON'T GET INVOLVED IS A NATIONAL DISEASE-- WITH SOME BASE IN FACT. IT IS SO BAD THAT THERE ARE THINGS GOING ON NATIONALLY THAT CAN NOT JUST WANDER OFF INTO OBLIVION...THERE ARE THINGS TO NOTICE......THERE IS A SCIENCE OF DISTRACTION-- TAUGHT IN BUSINESS SCHOOL. DISTRACTION 101.
THIS MAY NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING... BUT........ WHY ON ROUTE 95 IS THERE A MASSIVE DISPLAY OF ORANGE TRAFFIC CONES DIVERTING TRAFFIC AROUND CREWS INSTALLING GUARD RAILS ON EXIT RAMPS.... A VISUAL OF FIXING THE INFRASTRUCTURE? ----WHILE A BRIDGE COLLAPSES IN WASHINGTON DC.. WHY DO I FEEL I AM BEING DISTRACTED BY A MINOR SO TO AVOID THE REALL PROBLEM????
EVEN MARY-- OUR OLD DONKEY KNEW ABOUT DISTRACTION.... SHE HAD IT DOWN PAT BETTER THAN A PICK POCKET IN MANHATTAN.... IF YOU LEFTR A CAR DOOR OPEN AND WENT TO DEAL WITH SOMETHING ... SHE WAS IN YOUR GLOVE COMPARTMENT BEFORE YOU COULD TURN AROUND... OR EATING YOUR TUNA FISH SANDWICH...

I REMEMBER ( A LOT OF THINGS... BUT...) REMEMBER THE LITTLE OLD LADY CROSSING TH E STREET WITH A HEAVY SHOPPING BAG AND BAGGING SUPPORT HOSE...... SHE PASSES SLOWLY IN FRONT OF A SPORTS CAR SITTING AT A STOP. LIGHT WHICH HAS TURNED GREEN...... AND TEH DRIVER TRIES TO HURRY HER ALONG BY BLOWING HIS HORN........ SHE STOPS IN FRONT OF THE CAR, AND STARTS SWINGING HER BAG AT TEH SPORTS CAR AND HIS BUMMER FALLS OFF". LOVED IT !! I COULD WATCH THAT VIDEO FOR HOURS.

IMO-----THERE ARE 2 KINDS OF THIS MEMORY PROBLEM WITH AGING...... ---I WAS ALWAYS FORGETFUL--- BUT IT COMES IN DEGREES... I DO NOTICE I AM MORE INCLINDED TO REMEMBER PEOPLE AND THINGS THAT HAVE MADE ME LAUGH- CURRANTLY --- SHEILA CRANNEY... WHO'S OBIT VIDEO IS ONLINE ..., Obituary for Sheila Ann (Tucker) Cranney | O'Donnell - Cremations - Funerals - Celebrations (odonnellfuneralservice.com).
SHEILA WAS A SUPER TALLENTED CREATIVE PERSON...

THERE IS ALSO A SECOND COURSE IN BUSINESS SCHOOL... QUANTITY 201-- GIVE SOMEONE SO MUCH DETAIL THAT DISTRACTION 101 GOES INTO EFFECT.
---
PUPPY PEN IS NOW MINUS ONLY THE TIPI --- LYNN SWEARS SHE WILL GET THE PUPS MARCHED.....DOWN THERE AT 1:00 TODAY.---I MENTION THAT HERE TO FORCE THE ISSUE SO ALL OF YOU WILL BE WATCHING ON THE 2 CAMERAS INVOLVED... DOWN TEH DRIVEWAY WILL SHOW ONTHE CHICKEN CAMERA... THEN THE PUPPY HILL CAM WOULD NEED TO BE AIMED AT THE T TENT
I NEED TO RIG SHOME SHADE.... SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM-- SOMEHOW
I EVEN FOUND 8 ORANGE SCREW THINGS I ONCE USED TO SCREW INTO THE GROUND AND TIE DOGS TO FOR SOME MOVIE... THEY CAN BE USED... I THINK.. TO SCREW TEH TIPI DOWN..
---
WHICH REMINDS ME----- WHEN I OPTED TO REPLACE OUR WOODEN RIDING ARENA WITH THE WHITE ONE THE IPSWICH BUILDING INSPEDTOR WANTED ME TO HIRE A WOOD BUILDING CONTRACTOR he KNEW ABOUT...... I SAID NO....FORCED ME TO HIRE A SOIL COMPACTION EXPERT FOR A BUILDING THAT WOULD GO UP, ... NOT DOWN
$27,000 and 12 6 FOOT LONG sona tubes later, we have the white arena.... AND I HAVE A UNIQUE OPINION OF BUILDING INSPECTORS.
----
SPEAKING OF SCREWING TO THE GROUND...... WHEN I DECIDEED WE NEEDED A NOTHER TENT--- THE GIRAFFE TENT... I WENT TO LAY IT OUT... WITH MY
'HALF VAST" KNOWLEDGE OF A 3-4-5 TRIANGLE AND TRUSTY 60 FOOT SIPHON HOSE TO GET IT LEVEL.... A CONTRACTOR GAVE ME AN ESTIMQATE OF $10,000 TO PUT IN THE "FOOTINGS"
BASICALLY A 4 FOOT SONA TUBE WITH CEMENT AND A METAL THING IMPLANTED... --- I KNEW ABOUT THOSE-- I HAD WATCHED THE BIG ARENA 6' ANCORS MADE. SO I DUG HOLES ANBD PLANTED THE THINGS.-- I ADDED A COUPLE TRUCKLOADS OF STONE DUST......AS YOU CAN SEE ... IT HAS NOT FLOWN AWAY... YET... ---
---
TODAYS WORRY? ... IT DOES LOOK LIKE TEH ROOF ON TEH CHICKEN COOP COULD STAND SOME MORE NAILS.
*****AN FYI FOR THE DAY..... THERE DOES EXIST AN ANTIQUE HOOK, WITH A FLAT DISK ON THE HOOK----- THAT GOES OVER TEH PEAK OF THE BUILDING AND HAS A 2ND HOOK ONTO WHICH YOU ATTACH YOUR LADDER -- SO YOU CAN CARWL ALL OVER TEH ROOF SAFELY
AT LEAST IT HAS BEEN SAFE IN THE PAST...
