 JAN 24 2023


To list all the stupid things that I've done would take more time than I've got---- but right up there at the top is the fact that last night I was too lazy to go out and turn my car around so that the plow would be pointed downhill---- so now I'm stuck until somebody else plows me out.  my decision was further complicated by the fact that Lynn said She had arranged for Dana to plow us today.. So I took that opportunity to be lazy. 

You see there is this tree---as I back down it's on my left with the house on the right and I don't think there's two  feet of extra room with  my car between them.. the tree shows many scars... many many scars because just as you go to go between them the ground tips ever so slightly causing you to slide sideways---- over which you have no control.. it's like a Bermuda Triangle. so I really ought to sit here... I have things to do while staring at this foolish screen...

 

I hope Dana shows up--if he doesn't it's lynn’s fault.. Oh the joys of being president ---because the buck stops there...you need to be the first in and last to leave.... it doesn't matter why something happened whatever happens is your fault ----or your success----however most people just love to tell you all the things that go  wrong.. I don't know why anybody wants to be president of the United states there is some statistics like one in 10 gets shot at and there's a large percentage that get killed--percentage wise OSHA would never put it up with it.  There would be all sorts of rules ------as I suppose there are about guns and presidents.

 

Which brings to mind the latest shooting where 11 people died and certainly my sympathy goes out to those families involved.

what I zeroed in on was that you had one man with a gun who was disarmed by a very courageous man without a gun who was further assisted by a friend without a gun saving dozens of lives.  ---why can we not extrapolate that ratio to government control....one group with  guns becoming disarmed by  a larger  group without guns. Thus saving thousands of lives? In 99% of the shootings I remember, there has been only one where a guy with a gun was  where he needed to be with his gun and shot the bad guy. Then run that one by the school where you had  literally dozens of gun toting people who just did not even try.

So arming everyone does not seem to work either. 

 

Excitement here??? Not any yet... but Janine has lined up the purchase of a load of donkeys – probably totally wild donkeys—for us to train... on camera.... in preparation for a pack burro episode reset to october first....so I am now looking for scout leaders who want a fun outdoor project of teaching a bunch of wild donkeys to be tame( will take about 1 week and 50 pounds of carrots) and then to jog along with a person... that could take a while.... donkeys are ( usually) fun animals.

 

With any animals ( or humans) I am always afraid of the obsolute statement.

 Exceptions rule the roost—the “YES BUTTTT ” group.

EXCEPT EXCEPTIONS???

 THIS IS AN OLD FAMILY PIECE.. I HAD IT COPIED... BETSY HAS THEM
