 TO MASK OR NOT TO MASK.. THAT IS THE QUESTION.     ??OUTSIDE?????  CINDY WAS RIGHT LAST NIGHT FOR MAILCALL.   I GUESS IT IS BACK TO AMAZON. FOR A BOX OF THROWAWAY MASKS... IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME BUT 95'S AKA.  K'95'S AND KN'95'S ARE ALL MUDDLED IN MY HEAD... I WANT ONE LIKE PRES BIDEN WEARS..

I CAN HANG IT ON ONE EAR...  ALONG WITH THE HEARING AIID, EYEGLASSES ANALL OTHER APPENDAGES OF OLD AGE... DARN IT...
------
THE DAY OF THE HORSE ROUNDUP. I MET SOME VERY NICE NEIGHBORS FROM THE PARTRIDGEBERRY DEVELOPEMENT--AND BOY WERE THEY IMPRESSED WHEN COWBOY MATT SHOWED UP ON "FREEDOM" TO HUSTLE THEM ALL BACK HOME.....  LOTS JOKES AND FUN...  I PROMISED THE  GROUP  CALENDARS-   AND GOAT ROPING LESSONS FOR ANYONE SHOWING UP ON SUNDAY WHEN MATT IS THERE...--- OR ACTUALLY HAY BALE ROPING TO START WITH... HE HAS A STEER HEAD. FROM  DOGFEST FOR STARTERS... FUN  GROUP... QUICK TO LAUGH LOUDLY....

---
 MY OTHER BRAINSTORM OF THE DAY/NIGHT.... IS..... BETSY----SCARLOTT'S MOM... HAS A 1/4 PAGE ADD IN OUR TOWN NEWSPAPER. SHE HAS A SPECTACULAR STORE IN IPSWICH RIGHT NEXT TO THE TOWN PUB......AND SHE HAS AN EYE FOR GLAMOUR THAT I NEVER COULD MANAGE...-- BUT I DID NOTICE HER 1/4 PAGE AD. AND WONDERED IF- AND THISS IS A BIG   IF.....could i do something like that????      I GET SOOOOO MANY REQUESTS TO TRAIN PEOPLE'S DOGS ( AND CHILDREN). ... GOLDIE HAS MANAGED TO  MAYBE GIVE US PUPS VERY SHORTLY... I THINK THAT PAPER IS A WEEKLY--- HOW WOULD IT BE TO  HAVE A 1/4 PAGE --- "HERE IS OUR LITTER AND HOW WE ARE TRAINING THEM THIS WEEK...". WITH A WEEKLY  WRITE UP OF OUR SPOON FEEDING-- OR WHATEVER....  WHICH PEOPLE COULD WATCH ONLINE..... AND IF SUCCESSFUL...a t the end of a year people would have a well trained dog... and anyone cutting out all the 1/4 pages would have a 52 page training manual...
I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE STATEMENTS---THISE ARE MY  OPINIONS AND ARE LIKELY TO CHANGE MOMENTRILY. DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU  READ...
FIRST WEEK.....FIRST BORN.. THE CONCEPT OF NOT TOUCHING A CHILD/PUPPY/FOAL'S HEAD BECAUSE OF THE INSTINCT TO GO TOWARD THE TOUCH TO NURSE.
AN AWFUL LOT OF PEDIATRIC NURSES DON'T KNOW THAT---I DO REMEMBER SOME STORY ABOUT JANINE PUTTING COLBY ON SOME SHELF TO GET THE ORIGIONAL CONTACT ESTABLISHED.    
--
BUD.     AND HIS TOOL KIT.... IS  ANOTHER STUDY. BUD'S CAR  IS LOADED WITH  ABOUT A 1/2 TON OF HARDWARE-- BUT HE CARRIES A BEAT UP LEATHER POUCH STUFFED WITH EXACTLY WHAT HE NEEDS FOR 99% OF HIS CHALANGES-- IT HAS LONG SINCE LOST THE BELT PART...  BUT IT IS AN INVALUABLE PART OF BUD... THE POINT BEING HE DOES NOT CARRY ANYTHING NEEDED ONLY 1% OF THE TIME.  IT TOOK ME A VERY LONG TIEM TO LEARN THAT... LIKE. 80 YEARS?   MY TOOL KIT CARRIED A PIPE CUTTER---- 3 SIZE CLAMPS,---- 2 FENCE MENDERS AND A HAMMER, PLUS DRILL AND BITS  AND I COULD NOT PICK IT UP -------SO I STARTED AGAIN. AND IF I HAD NOT NEEDED IT IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS I. DID NOT PUT IT IN MY DAILY CARRRY ALL.   WHAT I DID DO WAS TO  DECIDE WHAT SCREWS, & BOLTS I USUALLY USE.. PUT A HA NDFUL OF EACH IN A DOGFOOD CONTAINER..... THEN MATCHED THE APPROPRIATE BITS AND SOCKETS FOR THOSE FEW SIZES. --- AND FFELT VERY INTELLIGENT..... IT HAS BEEN A LONG HAUL....

NOW TO GET SIZZLE INTRODUCED TO CICI.   ( HER DAUGHTER)
