I AM NOT ONE TO GO IN FOR "THE WORLD'S COMING TO AN END" BUT I SURE HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE  WORLD.. ACCORDING TO AMAZON/WALMART  CAUSING A WAR AND  MUTATIONS FAR BEYOND ANYTHING DARWIN HAD IN MIND.... CASE IN POINT... SAM  KIESS SENT US A JAR OF  STUFF...VITAMINS OR SUCH...-- AND TEH PACKING SLIP GOT INCLUDED  THE COST  OF ITEM ( AT WALMART)  WAS $6.98-- AND THEY WERE CAREFUL TO CHARGE TAX OF  44 CENTS ( AND WE ARE VERY THANKFUL THAT SAM SENT US THOSE..)  SHIPPING WAS FREE....  ?????FREE?????? NOW.... HOW ON EARTH DID THE EXPENSE OF  MANUFACTURING THOSE PILLS PUTTING THEM IN PLASTIC JARS WRAPING THEM IN SHRINK FINDING A SLIGHTLY TOO LARGE BOX ADDING BUBBLE WRAP GETTING THE CORRECT LABELE  PREPARED- AND ATTACHED CALLING FEDEX FOR PICK UP FLYING THE CARDBOARD BOX VROM LOUISVILLE TO BOSTON HAVING A TRUCK PICK UP AT THE  BOSTON AIRPORT GETTING THAT TO OUR PURPLE DOG HOUSE BOX RECIEVING STATION' ALL FOR $6.98??  I F I CALL A TAXI TO GET ME FROM HOME TO IPSWICH CENTER, IT IS ABOUT $15.00 OF COURSE THE TAXI COMPANY HAS TO PAY FOR GAS AND TIRES...  BUT SO DOES THE FEDEX COMPANY WHERE DID THE EXPENSE OF THE  NEW TIRES ON TH E FEDEX TRUCK GET PAID FOR? AND LORD KNOWS THE REAL ESTATE TAXES ON ANY PROPERTY IN IPSWICH  NON EXISTANT.  SOMEHOW THE SYSTEM THAT  MADE TEH BAG OF WORMS  AT THE LOCAL FEED STORE FOR $20  A MORE SELF SUSTAINING SITUATION... SO I WENT TO AMAZON...  THEY HAVE WORMS TOO-- REGULARLY $39.99 MARKED DOWN TO $21.95 WITH FREE SHIPPING- PLUS THEY HAVE THEM IN 4 DIFFERENT LABELS-- TEH EFFICIENCY IS REMARKABLE AS LONG AS FEDEX CAN HANDLE THESE INDIVIDUAL PURCHASES-- OR UNTIL ALL THESE FEED STORES BECOME AN AFFILIAte of amazon.. warehousing worms- which would require anticipating the  request for worms and paying real estate taxes-- and things like that....  while teh uspo, fedex and ups still become a critical part of survival. i am not sure i have it all figured out right...  all i know is anything with no visable means of support is against the basic  law of gravity. **** THE BEACH, THE POOL, THE LAKE, IF THERE IS A PLACE TO SWIM BELLA WILL FIND IT! SHE HAS BEEN BUSY WITH SWIMMING A LOT! GEORGE GOES IN A LITTLE MORE EACH TIME. THEY ARE HAVING A GREAT SUMMER! WHEN WE ARE AT THE LAKE WE HAVE NO INTERNET AND HAVE BEEN SPENDING A LOT OF TIME THERE SINCE THIS ONE IS CLOSE TO HOME. BELLA IS DOING AMAZING! FLIPPING OFF LADDERS, JUMPING OFF THE BOAT, HANDSTANDS UNDERWATER, SOMERSAULTS UNDER WATER. SHE IS DOING EVERYTHING SHE COULD BEFORE AND MORE! HER PAIN STILL GETS TO HER ON A DAY SHE IS SUPER ACTIVE AND SWIMS A LOT. BUT IT’S HOPEFULLY MAKING HER STRONGER! GEORGE IS ALWAYS BY HER SIDE OR WATCHING FROM THE DECK IN THE SHADE. ALL IN ALL AN AMAZING SUMMER SO FAR!  WE SEE DR KARLIN THURSDAY SO WE SHALL SEE HOW HE THINKS SHE IS DOING! THANKS FOR BEING PATIENT WITH US AND CHECKING IN WHEN WE POST.  LOVE BELLA AND GEORGE
