LAST NIGHT WAS REALLY A BUSY NIGHT- IHAD TO GET SOME LABELS ON THESE 4 COWS- WHO WERE FULL OF MILK -I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY IWAS IN SUCH A HURRY IT WAS ON LY A FEW LETTTERS BUT WE WERE IN ANNS DRIVEWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY ALL 4 EXPLODED AND TH PLACE WAS FLOODED WIITH MILK LEAVING ME TO TRY AN D EXPLAIN WHY I HAD NOT RUSHED BETTER- AND MY ARGUEMENT WAS .. WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE TO STICK ON THE 4TH LETTER...? IT WAS A VERY STRESSFUL NIGHT.
HOW THE MIND CAN TWIST FACTS IS AMAZING... THE LETTERS I WAS SUPPOSED TO GET ON THESE COWS... IF YOU LOOK AT THE CHICKEN BOARD.. YESTERDAY, I PUT LABELS ON TO EXPLAIN IT IS A SHORT MONTH BECAUSE WE DID THE SHATTING ON THE 8TH....NOT LEAVING ANYTHING LIKE A 30 DAY MONTH...
SO I PUT ON "PICTURES" OF "S"-- "H"-- "O"--"R"-- "T" ......HOW THAT GOT TO BE COWS AND MILK... IN MY SLEEP MUST BE THE 2 NURSING PUPPY MOTHERS WHO ARE FEEDDING PUPS VERY WELL...
THAT CHICKEN BOARD IS RARELY OUT OF MY MIND AWAKE OR ASLEEP.
? FOR THE DRIVEWAY?? I HAVE SPENT ALOT OF TIME IN ANN'S DRIVEWAY IN THE PROCESS OF BEING INVOLVED WITH THE GROTON HOUSE HORSE TRIALS AND ALOT OF THAT TIME I WAS CONCERNED WITH KEEPING THE DRIVEWAY CLEAR OF OBSTICALS IN CASE ANNS MOTHER ( WHO SHARED THE SAME DRIVEWAY) WANTED TO GET THRU....
( THAT GROTON HOUSE FARM CAN BE GOOGLED) - IN THE 30 OR SO YEARS I WAS INVOLVED... IT GREW FROM A CUTE LITTLE PONY CLUB FUNCTION TO ONE OF THE MAJOR EVENTS IN THE HORSE WORLD - THERE AE MANY MANY FUNNY STORIES FROM THAT----MOSTLY BECAUSE IT WAS A SEAT OF THE PANTS OPERTION WITH COUPLE PEOPLE - TRYING TO RUN A HUGE EVENT- ONE THAT COMES TO MIND WAS THE SATURDAY NIGHT BBQ WITH A COUPLE HUNDRED PEOPLE ARRIVING--- PLATES FULL OF CHICKEN AND COLESLAW AND WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY "PLASTICWARE"-- THERE WAS ALWAYS SOMETHING....BUT WE ALWAYS MUDDLED THRU--
*****
WHILE WE ARE ON THE TOPIC OF SCREWY MINDS.... I WAS JUST UP FROM A NAP-- AND TRIED TO COUNT THE DAYS FORM THE BIRTH OF TH E PUPS... TO THE 6 WEEK--- 12 WEEK-- 16 WEEK "PUPPY SHOTS" WE HAVE TO GIVE -- AND WAS ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED I WAS RIGHT HOWEVER I HAD SKIPPED FEBUARAY ENTIRELY-- AN EASY MISTAKE... I DON'T LIKE FEBUARAY ANYWAY.
***
HOPE FULLY THAT IS NOT A PREMINITION OF WANTING TO SKIP FEB- BECAUSE OF THE PREDICTED COLD WEATHER...
I NOT ONLY HATE THE COLD... I FEAR IT... WHICH I AM TOLD IS TRUE WITH ALOT OF "MY AGE GROUP"
THAT TOO HAS IT'S CAUSE..
SO MUCH OF MY FIRST YEARS WERE SPENT WITH A CAR THAT STOPPED AT RANDOM OR DIDN'T START IN THE FIRST PLACE-- THE ONLY GOOD PART WSAS THAT MOST WERE VW'S WHICH WERE EASY TO PUSH, AND IF YOU PUT THAT VW HEATER TUBE ON THE PLACE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE, YOU HAD HEAT-- UNTIL NEXT SUMMER WHEN YOU TOOK IT OFF. DON'T LAUGH.... BEING IN THE MAGAZINE DELIVERY BUSINESS, I COULD ONLY TURN THE CAR OFF IF THE STORE WAS ON A HILL-- OTHERWISE I HAD TO LEAVE IT RUNNING WHILE I WENT IN THE STORE. I REMEMBER ONE STORE IN LAWRENCE- MY CAR STALLED AND IT WAS ON THE FLAT... FOR ALL MY 4 YEARS OF SPANISH, I COULD NOT REMEMBER THE WORD FOR "PUSH"-- BUT I FIINALLY GOT THE MESSAGE ACROSS TO A CHEERFUL GROUP OF ..PROBABLY "PUSHERS" FOR REAL...
IF THER E ARE ANY OF YOU NEW DD READERS... WHO HAVE NOT HEARD THE FUN PARTTS OF AMGAZINE DELIVERY, THERE WAS ONE SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD VARIETY STORE.. IN LOWELL WHICH WAS FULL OF KIDS BUYING CANDY... AND WHEN I SAID TO THE OWNER "GEE YOU ARE AWFULLY NICE TO THESE KIDS" HE SAID "WHY SHOULDN'T I BE... MAYBE HALF OF THEM ARE MINE."
****
THANKFULLY MOST FORENGNERS I HAVE RUN INTO LATELY SEEM TO KNOW THE WORD "CASH" -- THE CONCRETE BLOCK LAYERS DID A WONDERFUL JOB--- WHOEVER THEY WERE...
IT IS MY SOLUMN DUTY TO SAVE CHARITY MONEY WHEREVER I CAN--
there are alot of laws i would like to change... obviously... ONE REALLY MIXED UP ONE IS DISABLED VETS EARINING MONEY-- THE VA SAYS 100% DISABLED AND THEN AWARDS THEM NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO LIVE ON... AND IF THEY GET CAUGHT WORKING, EVEN THAT GETS CUT DOWN...
APPARENTLY ---
-THERE MUST BE A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE HIRED BY THE VA TO KEEP TRACK OF THAT SPECIFIC THING- THE EFFECT OF DISBANDING THAT GROUP AND GIVING MORE MONEY TO THE ONES TO DECIDE THE 100% DISABLED THEN LET THE VETS DO WHATEVER THEY CAN .
IS THERE NOT SOME LOGIC IN THAT CONCEPT...?????
****
IN THE PROCESS OF CHASING THOSE COWS IN THE MIDDLE OF TH ENIGHT.... I HAD SOME OTHER PROFOUND THOUGHT... MOST OF WHICH I HAVE FORGOTTEN, BUT IT HAD TO DO WITH THE COST OF PROVIDING SECRET SERVICE FOR EXTRA GOV'T RELATIVES vs REPAIRING THE LEVEYS AND BRIDGES.. SEEMS TO ME A BETTER USE OF TH MONEY WOULD BE THE LEVEY'S AND BRIDGES WHICH JIMMY CARTER THOUGHT NEEDED REPAIR LONG AGO... AND THEY'RE WORSE. WHILE WE COULD SPARE TO LOSE A FEW GOV'T RELATIVES WHICH SEEM TO BE ABLE TO MULTIPY ON THEIR OWN...
