TEHRE ARE TIMES WHEN I CAN COME UP WITH BRILLIANT IDEAS, UNFORTUANTELY MOST HAVE TO DO WITH DUCT TAPE- AND THEY DON'T COME UP NEARLY OFTEN ENOUGH.
SDP DOES RELY ON TEHE SHATUPON SOCIETY BIG TIME... IT ALSO RELYS ON CP'S FOR SUGGESTIONS --
W/R/T TEH SHATTING..... SOMEONE SUGGESTED IF WE SLID THE WHITE CANVAS ONTO THE TABLES WHILE PUTTING ON THE NUMBERS IT WOULD SAVE ANYONE STRETCHING TO THE MIDDLE OR CLIMBING ON THE WOBBLY TABLES.... IF IT IS EVER UP TO ME . I WILL REMEMBER TO DO THAT...
HOWEVER TEH PLACING OF TEH NUMBERS IS A WILDLY SOCIAL EVENT OFTEN LACED WITH OBTUSE COMMENTS-- AS TEH YOUNGER MORE NIMBLE CROWD CLIMB AND STRETCH..
BEING OUT OF THE CLIMBING AND STRETCHING CROWD THE OBTUSE COMMENTS ARE
OFTEN MADE BY ME WITH THE HELP OF CAMERA MARK.

TODAYS FYI
WE MAY HAVE DISCOVERED A SHATTING TRICK. I TOOK THE FIRST HEN OUT OF THE CAGE AND SAT HER ON THE TABLE... SHE DID NOT FLUTTER OFF AS I EXPECTED SO I PICKED HER UP AND GAVE HER AN EASY TOSS TO THE CENTER AREA- WHERE SHE FLUTTERED FOR 3 SECONDS, TURNED AND CHOSE THE WINNER IN A NICE NEAT BLOB RIGHT ON A NUMBER. I HAD NOT EVEN REACHED FOR THE SECOND HEN.....
YOU KNOW HOW PENNICILLIN WAS INVENTED BY ACCIDENT-- I DON'T KNOW WHAT I MAY HAVE INVENTED-- IT CERTAINLY NEEDS MORE EXPIRIMENTATION BUT I MAY BE ON TO SOMETHING.

THE ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO RECOGNISE AN UNUSUAL HAPPENING IS INSTRAMENTAL TO INVENTION AND SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY IN THE FIRST PLACE.
HANG ON... THIS IS GOING SOMEWHERE....
BACK TO DOGFEST 2016... WHEN I HAD LAID OUT A FIRE AND FILLED A TUB WITH WATER IN PREP FOR COOKING THE CORN , IT WAS ALL READY TO GO SO AS I WALED BY I ASKED THING #1 AND THING#2 IF THEY WOULDNT LIGHT THE FIRE AND START THE BOIL. IMMEDIATELY THEY WHIPPED OUT THEIR PHONES "HOW TO START A FIRE" JUST AS MEATY STEVE WALKED BY... HE SAID " I CAN TELL YOU HOW TO START A FIRE-- YOU TAKE THE EMPTY ROLL OF TOILET TISSUE AND FILL IT WITH DRYER LINT AND LIGHT IT-"
THAT IS WHY TO THIS DAY-- MANY OF THE BOXES WE GET OF DOG COOKIES, FLUFFLIES, COINS FOR TEH JUG, HAZELNUTS FOR PAM... THERE TUCKED AWAY AT THE BOTTOM ARE A FEW TOILET ROLLS PACKED WITH GREY DRYER LINT.--- WHICH WE DO USE !!
HOWEVER-- THE OBJECT HERE IS - THERE ARE TIMES.... MANY TIMES, WHERE IT PAYS T JUST STAND AROUND AND THINK ... UNENCUMBERED BY THE INTERNET OR ANY EXTERNAL SOURCES.
I THINK OUR CHILDREN HAVE TOTALLY LOST THAT CONCEPT, IT IS UPSETTING.

WE THANK SANTA AND MRS. SANTA WHO WERE HERE YESTRDAY AND ARE A SPECTACULAR PAIR-- PERFECTLY SUITED TO THE JOB.

RETURNING TO GOOD IDEAS..... P A M ********
, IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO COME UP WITH A VOLUNTEER MILEAGE FORM AND HAVE THOSE MILES RECORDED ALONG WITH SOME IDEA OF DISTANCES PEOPLE ARE TRAVELING TO DO IT TO SHOW THESE GRANT PEOPLE HOW DEDICATED THE VOLUNTEERS ARE TO THIS ORGANIZATION. ITS ALL THIS IN-KIND SERVICE THAT IS A TESTAMENT TO YOU AND YOUR SDP PHILOSOPHY.

AMY AND SEA
HOW EXCITING TO LEARN THAT SEAGRAM & I WERE SHAT UPON YESTERDAY — BUT BEING TOGETHER IS THE BEST GIFT POSSIBLE...SO PLEASE KEEP OUR PRIZE. WE WANT TO DO WHAT WE CAN TO ENSURE FUTURE MATCHES.
SEAGRAM HAS ENABLED ME TO DO SO MANY THINGS, INCLUDING A TRIP TO SEE FAMILY FOR THANKSGIVING JUST A MONTH AFTER A SERIOUS FALL (WHICH RESULTED IN MULTIPLE INJURIES IN AND AROUND MY HIP). SHE WENT TO A BED & BREAKFAST FOR A FEW NIGHTS AND IMPRESSED THE GUESTS WITH HER PERFECT MANNERS (“SHE IS SO GOOD THAT I FORGOT SHE WAS THERE,” SAID A WOMAN AS I ASKED SEAGRAM TO HELP ME UP AFTER OUR COMMUNAL BREAKFAST.) THEN WE RELOCATED TO A HOTEL AND SHE REMAINED SO WELL-BEHAVED THROUGH ALL THIS TRAVEL.

TIME TO STUMBLE ALONG..... AND DRINK THE COFFEE.
