HAPPY TAKE A CAKE TO FIRE DEPARTMENTS DAY---

w/r/t....the POLICE RAID YESTERDAY.
here we go again.. it was a comedy ... we have deer walking our fence line....night and day---- we have seen them- they are certainly enough to set our dogs to barking... but yesterday i happened to hear them start-- and it was a high pitched bark which sdp dogs just don't do-- so i assume coyotes-- next thing --- i am usually at computer by 5am-- phone rings == police department-- cruiser is in our driveway and where can he find me...? so he leaves teh cruiser blocking the drovew so when nurse #14 comes to quietly drive to the icu house to leave her dog. she can not get in... she is on a schedule and does not want to be late for work so she leaves her car and runs teh dog all the way to the icu house... by now every dog on the property is alerting me to the fact tht "unusual things" have interupteed their sleep. that is just when i am telling the policeman that the dogs are usually very quiet-- and he is explaing to me- there is a new law.....if they bark for 15 minutes between 10 pm and 6 am he is to write me a ticket... but he won't this time/
i would like to shoot the messenger.. but that is pointless....so it is time to get out BOTH THE LAWYER AND the audiometer again. but i think the way this goes is if there is a serious complaint, they need to document it-- which dog and how long....plus the decibel and distance formula where if you have to stop everything to see if you can hear a dog bark over the noise a refrigerator makes, and it upsets you, then buying a house next to me was probably not a good idea. (OR A HOUSE NEAR A FOREST EITHER...)
so this morning i am keeping an exact log--- again.... bark... no bark,,, someone is here all night... all it takes is paper... so we will document it again...
they are basically lazy--- that constant yipping which kennel dogs sometimes do is just not happening here... give them a reason.. and they will bark.. but they quit if at all possible.

now about life insurance- for you newcommers,--- i was frightened out of my life insurance policy.....$200.000 paid on time--- all the time cash value grpowing... until... i began to get noitices that it had no cash value-- it took months of letters to "no address" --- phone calls to d/c phone numbers finally i did get a letter once again saying it was worth $107,000-- and i could take that out if i wanted to... of course i wnated to... a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush... so i cashed it and felt fortunate---- now at the age of 79 that ins company AGI basically saved $100,000 by getting rid of me before i died and they had to pay teh $200,000. and they had a $107,000 interest free loan from me.

keeping that in mind.......
i hear that ad --" if you are between teh ages of 65 and 85 you can get life insurance for $10 a month-- and it can never be canceled as long as you pay your premiums...
...it is that "AS LONG AS YOU PAY YOUR PREMIUMS" THAT GETS ME.... i bet.....they are counting on you being sick for a month before your demise... and probably not paying that last premium so they don t have to pay your relatives as you had intended...
my father had one for $10,000 and luckly my sister paid his bills for him-- if she had not... we would have missed a payment or two and would have had no benefit.-- so if you hav one.. put it on auto pay from teh bank???????

intentional errors surround us
remember also ... i bought a voting machine from florida- with it's hanging chads...
it opened like a book page 1 with a list of ones to vote for......a sliver of ibm card in the center and a page 2 of more people to vote for
page 1 had A..B..C..D.. and page 2 had L..M...N...O
so if i wanted to vote for "B " i poked out the chad #2.
but then when i looked very closely chad #2 was intended for "L" first one on second page. as it zigg zagged back and forth
an unfortunate design for presidential candidate "B" who lost many votes to "L"
teh business of designing intentional errors is a booming business ...
