I RAISED
2 KIDS WITHOUT CONSULTING ANY BOOKS OR OTHER EXPERTS- WE WERE TOO
BUSY DOING THINGS- LIKE PAYING MORGAGE AND EATING FOOD....( AND PUTTING ON
"THE CIRCUS" IN THE SUMMER.) SO IT PLEASES ME TO SPEND TIME
WITH THEM NOW THAT THEY HAVE BECOME RELATIVELY NORMAL ADULTS.
WHAT
STARTED THIS WAS DRIVING JANINE AND - SON COLBY- TO THE AIRPORT
FOR HER FLIGHT TO COLORADO. THE 25 MINUTES IT TOOK GOT HER GOING ON
THE FACT THAT THERE EXISTS AN OVERLAPPING COMPUTER SYSTEM SO
THE TRASH CANS IN BOSTON CAN TALK TO THIS GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY AND
TELL THAT AUTHORITY WHEN TO SEND ROUND THE TRASH PICKER-UPPER TRUCK
TO EMPTY IT. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE... IT KEEPS TRACK OF WHICH TRASH BIN
GETS PICKED UPHOW OFTEN,,, - SO OF COURSE--- THEN THERE IS SOMEONE
HIRED TO PREDICT WHICH BIN WILL NEED COLLECTING NOT ONLY HOW OFTEN, BUT WHEN,,,
WE AE NOT FAR AWAY FROM HAVING THE BIN ANALYZE TEH CONTENTS ----EMPTY
COFFEE CUPS TO NEWSPRINT TO CANS- WHICH BRINGS ME TO ... DOGS
IF DOGS
CAN BE TRAINED TO SNIFF AROUND AIR-PORTS FOR THE RESIDUALS OF BOMB MAKING,
WHY CAN'T WE "TEACH " TRASH CANS TO DO THE SAME ?
AND
DUMPSTERS--- THE ULTIMATE SECURITY SYSTEM... IF WE COULD JUST TEACH DUMPSTERS
AND TRASH CANS TO REPORT SUSPICIOUS AIRBORNE SUBSTANCES LIKE
THE DOGS APPARENTLY DO...
WE WOULD
GET A HANDLE ON WHO WAS MAKING BOMBS WHERE. BEFORE THEY GOT IN A
CAB AND WENT SOMEWHERE .
PRIOR TO
MY GETTING GOING ON SERVICE DOGS I CONSIDERED TRAINING BOMB SNIFFING DOGS
- MOSTLY BECAUSE SOMEONE IN THE ARMY MENTIONED THEY WOULD PAY
ME $90,000 PER DOG- A VERY ATTRACTIVE NUMBER--- SO I THOUGHT ABOUT
SNIFFERS-- THE 3 B's ... BLOODHOUNDS , BEAGLES AND BASSETTS BEING
BIGGIES. I ALWAYS LIKED BASSETTS BUT I COULD NOT SEE A STATE COP
WALKING AROUND THE AIRPORT WITH A BASSETT REGARDLESS OF HOW GOOD.
PERCEPTION IS 98% OF SUCCESS. -
I NEEDED
ANOTHER SOURCE.... DUE TO A LOCAL FOX HUNTING GROUP THERE WAS A BUNCH OF
"SNIFFERS.." -- FOXHOUNDS THAT SOMETIMES HAD
FABULOUS FAILURES - AND I WAS ALL SET TO START AFTER THAT $90K WHEN MY
OTHER DAUGHTER - GWEN- WHO IS FAMOUS FOR HER CLEAR THINKING
PLUS TOTAL RECALL OF EVERYTHING PASSING IN FRONT OF HER EYES SAID
" I DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN A HOUSE IF YOU GET INTO BOMB SNIFFING BECAUSE IF
YOU CAN'T FIND YOUR GLASSES, CELL PHONE AND WALLET, WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN YOU
MISPLACE THE SAMPLES YOU WOULD NEED OF EXPLOSIVES?"
SHE HAD A
POINT-- SO I STARTED WITH SERVICE DOGS.

THE DAY GENERALLY GETTING THE LEAD OUT-
