TO GET AWAY FROM THE USUAL NEWS I TRIED THE SCIENCE CHANNEL, THINKING IT WOULD BE A QUIETING LESSON IN WHY PEOPLE BUILT THE PYRANIDS- OR SOMETHING... HOWEVER......LAST NIGHT IT WAS HOW TO STICK A TINY PROBE INTO AN ASTRIOD THAT THEY ARE SURE WILL EVENTUALLY HIT EARTH- AND DEMOLISH AN AREA ABOUT THE SIZE OF WASHINGTON DC ..THEY HOPE THIS PROBE WILL RETURN THIS TINY SAMPLE TO EARTH LABS TO CHECK AND SEE IF IT HAS ANYTHING WHICH MIGHT KILL OFF THE REST OF US..
NOW IF THAT IS NOT THE ULTIMATE WASTE OF TIME/MONEY/ ?GOVT GRANT? WHAT IS THIS ? EXPLORATORY SURGERY? WILL WHATEVER THEY FIND ALTER THE COURSE OF WHAT THEY SAY IS GOING TO HAPPEN...THE COST OF THIS PROJECT IS WELL INTO THE MILLIONS... THEY DID NOT SAY IT WAS GOING TO HIT WASHINGTON, THEY WENT ON TO SAY NEW YORK, LONDON OR ROME.... HOWEVER THE CHOICE OF WASHINGTON WAS-- IMO-- SIGNIFICANT.
****
SO WAS THE CHOICE OF NEW YORK...-- BEING FROM NEW YORK,, I HAVE BEEN WELL AWARE THAT THE TYPICAL NY MAP OF TEH WORLD HAS MANHATTAN AT LEAST 75% OF THE AREA ON THE MAP- AND ALL OTHER COUNTRIES ARE THE SIZE OF RHODE ISLAND. IT IS BRED INTO NEW YORKERS-- WHEN PEOPLE ASK YOU WHERE YOU ARE FROM, AND YOU SAY NEW YORK, IT HAS A DISTINCTIVE CLOUT TO IT THAT OGALLALA NEBRASKA DOES NOT HAVE. THE ETHNIC NEIGHBORHOODS OF NEW YORK CITY SOMETIMES HAVE MORE INHABITANTS THAN WHEREVER THEY CAME FROM IN THE FIRST PLACE... EACH HAS IT'S REPUTATION...
THAT GUY ON CNN WHO GOES ALL OVER TEH WORLD EATING NATIVE FOODS OF QUESTIONABLE CONTENT... HAS DONE A FEW SHOWS FROM NY... HE FINDS AREAS OF NY WHERE THERE IS NO MCDONALDS AND ENGLISH IS NEVER SPOKEN.
THE REST OF THE TV LAST NIGHT WAS MORE CRITICAL THAN BEING BASHED BY A CELESTIAL BODY- IT WAS TO KNEEL OR NOT TO KNEEL, THAT WAS THE QUESTION.
THAT IS WHY WE HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE WATCHING SDP PUPPIES AND DONKEYS.
******
THE LARGE PROJECT OF THE DAY IS TO RELOCATE TEH 24 INCHES OF %$^&*(^%$#^& WHICH WS PILED AGAINST THE DONKEY FENCE-- PLAN IS TO PUSH IT UP THE HILL - WHICH TANNER DID ON SUNDAY-- NOW IF WE COUD JUST SMOOTH IT OUT, AND THROW SOME WINTER RYE ON IT TO HOLD IT THERE... MAYYBE WE COUDL MAKE THAT A WILDFLOWER HILL- IN WHICH CASE A FENCE WILL BE NEED TO KEEP THE DONKEYS FROM EATING EVERYTHIGN... BUT HTAT WIL HAVE TO BE NEXT SPRING... FOR NOW, JUST SMEARING IT AROUND IS THE GOAL OF TEH DAY.... I HAVE REQUESTED/ HIRED ONE LARGE MALE HELPER FOR A FEW HOURS.
WE NEED TO GET THAT REGULAR FENCE BACK UP QUICKLY.. THE NEW LOCATION OF THE HAY FEEDER IS 1/2 WAY UP TEH HILL.

BELLA WORKED HARD TODAY AFTER SCHOOL! TRAINER STEVE DID A GREAT JOB GETTING THEM ON THE START TO POST SURGERY WALKING. SO HOW BELLA HAS BEEN WALKING WITH GEORGE SHE KIND OF LEANS OVER HIM AND HANGS WHILE GEORGE ESSENTIALLY PULLS HER ALONG. HIS PULL IS REALLY WHAT KEEPS BELLA STEPPING FORWARD. SO POST SURGERY SHE WON'T BE ABLE TO HOLD ON THE SAME WAY. SHE WORKED ON WALKING WITH GEORGE WHILE JUST WALKING WITH HER ARMS BY HER SIDE JUST HOLDING HIS ROPE. THIS IS GETTING HIM TO NOT PULL HER ALONG AND STAY AT A SLOW PACE. THEY DID GREAT TOGETHER. SO THIS IS WHAT THEY WILL BE WORKING ON ALL WEEK AT SCHOOL AND WE WILL SEE STEVE AND MEGAN NEXT MONDAY AFTER SCHOOL TO SEE HOW THINGS ARE WORKING. IT WILL BE A BIG ADJUSTMENT AND EXHAUSTING AT FIRST BUT SHE CAN DO IT I AM SURE! ....THANK YOU EVERYONE!

SHE WAS COMPLIMENTED LEFT RIGHT UP AND DOWN ON HOW WELL MANNERED AND ONCE AGAIN PEOPLE WHERE AMAZED WITH HOW ATTENTIVE SHE IS TO MY NEEDS. SHE COULD TELL HOW TIRED OUT I AM AND HAD HER SLOW MOVING LEGS ON FOR ME AND WAS UP CLOSE AND TIGHT MY SHINING STAR HOPE YOU ALL HAD A WONDERFUL DAY.
