Hi Carlene!
Sorry we didn't get to say goodbye before we left but I just wanted to once again express my gratitude! Truly what you do at SDP is amazing I wish there were more people like you and everyone else at SDP in the world what great place that would be to live!
Well we made it home safe and sound Finn handled it all like a champ! He's such a good and trusting dog!
Can't wait to send you the stories of all their adventures!

I AM DELIGHTED TO TAKE THE CREDIT- HOWEVER THE MAKING OF FINN HAD MORE TO DO WITH PUTTING BENTLEY IN WITH SCARLOTT-- WHICH TOOK NO REAL EFFORT ON MY PART... AFTER THAT IT WAS UP TO MEGAN AND STEVE... I MOSTLY JUST DRANK COFFEE-
****************
i am also delighted to have been chosen to recieve a KIT TO PREPARE FOOD THAT WILL LAST 25 YEARS---SO I --- AND MY FAMILY --- WILL HAVE LUSCIOUS MEALS TO EAT ON AN IRONED TABLECLOTH --- YEARS FROM NOW....WHEN NO ONE ELSE DOES -- REALLY !!!!
SOMETIMES I WONDER WHO THESE ADS ARE INTENDED TO APPEAL TO...... IF I HAD SOME KIT THAT PREPARED FOOD TO LAST FOR 25 YEARS, SOME COMPUTER WOULD HAVE REGISTERED IT AND BEEN HACKED SO THE REST OF THE ENITRE WORLD WOULD HAVE BASHED MY DOOR DOWN TO STEAL MY 25 YEAR OLD FOOD.
THE AD WORLD ALREADY THOUGHT OF THAT------ BECAUSE IN TODAYS EMAIL COLLECTION -- FOR A SMALL FEE--
Corporal J.J. of the US Marine Corps WILL SHOW ME - How will you defend yourself from the looters when the U.S. Dollar collapses as predicted and the riots erupt in the streets again....AND the Government barges into YOUR HOME and seizes your guns tomorrow?
I AM ALL SET THERE ... I CAN INVITE THEM IN TO EAT SOME OF THE 25 YEAR OLD FOOD- WHICH IF NOT PREPARED PROPERLY COULD BE LETHAL...
**************
LUNCH TODAY--- I TELL YOU --- BECAUSE HTERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE COMING AND GOIND IN THE HOUSE THT THE ONLY PLACE THAT IS QUIET ENOUGH TO THINK IS MY CAR... WHICH ---EVEN IF I DON'T STEER IT , SEEMS TO GO TO NICE RESTAURANTS ABOUT LUNCHI
TINMEL- LIKE ONE OF THOSE ROBOTS THAT SWEEP TH E FLOOR... NOW THERE IS ANOTHER CONCEPT OF DUBIOUS VALUE.. THE ADVERTISEMENT SHOWS THAT ROBOT WANDERING AROUND WHAT LOOKS LIKE A PRETTY CLEAN FLOOR TO ME... IF I HAD ONE OF THOSE IT WOULD MAKE A BEELINE FOR UNDER THE FILE CABINET-- I CAN HEAR SIRI SCREAMING "I GIVE UP"
************
WE ARE WORKING ON THE NEXT CALENDAR-- DON'T GET ALL EXCITED... WE DO THIS EVERY YEAR---" GOT TO GET SOME SNOW SHOTS BEFORE SPRING--" AND KITTY TAKES OUT THAT NOTEBOOK AND STARTS MAKING LISTS....-- IT IS A PAPER NOTEBOOK- WHICH HAS NO ON-OFF SWITCH... AND BEFORE WE GET ANY POSSIBLE SECOND IDEA FOR A SHOT, KITTY HAS A LIST OF 47 THINGS WE WOULD NEED FOR THE FIRST IDEA... AND INVARIABLY, SHE INCLUDES ITEMS FOR AN OFFICIAL "KRAFT TABLE" IN THE GREEN ROOM....
AHHHHHH....CONCEPTS OUT OF MY LONG LOST MOVIE PAST..... EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE I HEAR REFERENCE TO A GREEN ROOM WHICH IS WHERE PEOPLE SIT AROUND AND RELAX TIL THEY ARE NEEDED ON THE SET-- WELLLLLL THAT GREEN ROOM ALWAYS HAS A KRAFT TABLE.WHICH INCLUDES... DEPENDING ON THE ACTORS INVOLVED.... ASPIRINS/TYLENOL , M AND M'S, GRANOLA BARS AND WATER
KITTY ALWAYS SETS UP THE KRAFT TABLE ON THE TAILGATE OF HER CAR...-- AND WE NIBBLE THERE.
I AM CONSTANTLY AMAZED AT WHAT KITTY WILL BRING TO A SHOT TO APPEASE WILLIAM'S CREATIVE IMPULSES...---"HERE'S A RED SKARF IN CASE YOU WANT TO ADD COLOR" " HOW ABOUT A TOY TRAIN", OR A NEWLY IRONED SHIRT ON A HANGER......OR A BUSHEL OF APPLES...HER CAR IS AMAZING...HOW SHE ANTICIPATES THE WILD IDEAS WILLIAM CAN GET , I DO NOT KNOW-- BUT SHE SEEMS TO.
WHATEVER....YOU HAVE TO ADMIT OUR CALENDARS ARE-- FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS... FAR AND ABOVE THE USUALL CALENDAR TYPES... AND THE NEXT ONE--- IF WE CAN PULL OFF TEH CONCEPT .. COULD BE EVEN BETTER...
*****
SPEAKING OF CALENDARS--- YESTERDAY IN DRIVING TO GET THAT "SINK THAT IS NOT A SINK TO GET AROUND THE BUILDING INSPECTOR" I DROVE TO AND FTOM BILLERICA-- AND IN THE PROCESS HANDED OUT 5 ROLLS OF LIFESAVERS TO THE AMUSEMENT OF THE POLICEMEN STANDING IN THE COLD... THE LAST ONE INVOLVED HANDING A ROLL OUT THE PASSENGER WINDOW-- OVER THE 2 CARTONS OF CALENDARS ON THE PASSENGER SET -- THE POLICEMAN ASKED "AREN'T YOU FROM THAT DANE RESCUE (CLOSE) THAT DID A PHOTO AT THE CRANE ESTATE?"
SO I SAID "YES... AND PLEASE HELP YOURSELF TO A CALENDAR AT YOUR ELBOW" WHICH HE DID AND SAID THIS WAS TEH BEST DAY HE HAD HAD IN MONTHS...
HOW SIMPLE IT WAS FOR ME TO CHEAR UP ONE GUY STANDING IN THE COLD... THAT POLICE BIT IS A THANKLESS JOB..
****
BECAUSE WE GOT ON OVERLOAD WITH SO MANY LIFESAVERS I DID FILL BASKETS AND TOOK THEM TO SEVERAL POLICE STATIONS I PASSED AS I MADE MY ROUNDS...-- THE RECEPTION DESKS ARE ALWAYS BEHIND THICK BULLETPROOF GLASS -- WHEN I OFFERED SOME TO THE GOERGETOWN POLICE A GUY APPEARED THRU THE OFFICE DOOR-- HE WAS HUGE-- HAD TO BE 6'6".... SHAVED HEAD...VERY FIT AND ORGANIZED LOOKING-- SHIRT TUCKED IN IN OTHER WORDS NOT SOMEONE WITH WHOM YOU WOULD ARGUE .
I THOUGHT A WHOLE BUNCH OF THINGS.
MOSTLY WHY COULDN'T SOMEONE LIKE HIM JUST PICK UP THOSE 4 KIDS THAT BEAT THAT HANDICAPP PERSON AND JUST DRAG THEM AROUND FOR A LONG TIME.-- I AM DEVASTATED TO FIND OUT 2 OF THOSE KIDS WERE GIRLS...--- GIRLS ARE MAYBE EVEN MORE DEVIOUS THAN BOYS-- BUT AS AN ANIMAL/ FARM TYPE.....I SURE WOULD N'T WANT TO BREED ANY MORE OF THAT TYPE EITHER SO ALONG WITH NEUTERING THE MALES, SPAY THE 2 FEMALES OR PUT THEM IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT TIL THEY WERE NO LONGER FERTILE... HEAVEN FORBID THEM FROM HAVING 10 KIDS EACH....
SO BACK TO THE POLICEMAN WITH THE TRIM SHIRT TUCKED IN TO EXPOSE HIS PHYSIQUE ( AND GUN)
ABOTU THE SECOND THING I THOUGHT WAS... WHY DO THEY EVEN MAKE SHIRTS TO ACCOMODAT THE POLICEMEN WHO HAVE TH EHUGE BEER GUTS... IF THEY ONLY MADE UNIFORMS TO FIT "FIT" PEOPLE- THEY THERE WOULD BE NO DISCUSSION ABOUT DISCRIMINATION AGAINST
THE BUDWEISER BOZO'S WHO JUST ARE THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF THE VERY PLEASENT GUY IN GEORGETOWN... IF YOU CAN NOT FIT IN THE UNIFORM, YOU CAN NOT BE A POLICEMAN...
*****
NEXT BEST THINGI S DAVID #1 ARRIVED AND IS TACKLING THE INSTLATION OF THE HEATER IN THE BOMB SHELTER... HE IS A QUALIFIED SOMETHING OR OTHER TO DO WITH HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING... SOUNDS LIKE HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING.... YOU GO RIGHT AT IT...
ONCE HE GETS THE HEATER ON , WE CAN HOPEFULLY GET TEH EPOXY BIT GOING
WHIDH GETS INTO ... HEAT RISES-- AND THE FLOOR NEEDS TO BE ABOVE 50 TO GBE EPOXIED SO HOW DO WE???? MAKE THE REST OF TEH BUILDING 95 DEGREES??? HEAT RISEING IS LIKE WATER FLOWING DOWN HILL
NOT ALOT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
BASH ON...
