finally i found an animal person nuttier than I am ------
I was two hours too early for the hay truck by Wednesday they're out of hay and i hAD wait for the next truck---- that's what I was doing----- as larkey's head was hanging out the back window I was quietly napping and a woman came over and started talking to him and we got going------ she doesn't have any domestic animals at the moment but she does have about 20 wild raccoons and maybe 10 skunks which she feeds twice a day on her porch---- which is a second story porch so they all climb up the side of the house and line up on her porch for breakfast and dinner----- she says she has absolutely no trouble with them she knows them all individually -----she also says she goes through five of the huge peanut butter jars a week----among other foods..... that's a lot of raccoons to feed --- she went on about the different raccoons and their different gastronomic preferences----- she was a funny lady. EXCEEDINGLY BRIGHT and nearly as old as i am. yet she has found a way to keep involving herself with life.. she says her raccoons are more interesting than alot of groups of people..... ..... and my neighbors think I'm bad? she had many comments about so many skunks and she went on to describe their interaction between with the raccoons it was very interesting..-----there is plenty to see and learn. If you just-----never stop learning.... if not raccoons , skunks and rats, I suppose next is ants and bee’s to provide the observable interactions??? Beats watching football...
after the hay truck finally got there and I was backed up in place getting loaded, damned if she didn't come along with $40 which was a donation from she and her husband $20 each ----she wanted me to note/. it was for whatever we needed most.. how nice was that... back to that song.... “I will survive...”
now I will have to take her a couple of the old calendar photos done up in a matt--- they look good—should anyone want one...$10 ( one hay bale plus. Postage—it is the postage which will kill you...---- probably another $10) to CARRY AND GIVE-- WITHOUT INVOLVNG POSTAGE IS WONDERFUL .. SO IF ANY OF YOU PLAN TO COME VISIT, YOU SHOULD PLAN ON MAKING YOUR OWN PICTURE OUT OF THOSE OLD CALENDRS-- THEY ARE TERRIFFIC... I DO THOSE PROJECTS AT MY 'PROJECT TABLE'. WHILE LISTENING TO 'ALEXA' s BROADWAY MUSIC.

I constantly underestimate “alexa”. Can anyone of you cp’s give me 25 words or less on how alexa works—and where can I move her and have her still function ( not unlike my still functioning in the laundry building...) and for another 25 words.. why don’t we all have alexas instead of radio and tv???.
Now if any of you are writing commercials—as I am sure nearly half of you are.........last I knew it was 27 words for a 10 second commercial. Go ahead – try it...it can take hours to figure out which 27 words to do what you want...
Judy reports she believes that shrimp salad has found it’s way clear of her body.. which reminds me........ a very long time ago-----It was rumored that the weight loss pill that you took to lose weight--- and then the pill to stop loosing weight were actually a tape worm and then a wormer pill to get rid of the tape worm....
I dunno.... it was 1950 ish.. long before I had a worry in the world about being overweight.
That came later...
