Apparently Janine took jiminey thru a car wash..... And which was a good example of my Beverly train training..  she photographed him sitting quietly in the back of her car as she went through the car wash..  she was very relaxed so he was very relaxed and didn't bother him at all.. and she had to add the comment that she was sure he'd never been through a car wash before because her mother never washes her car.  dig dig dig....

 She  shouldn't say never--I do remember once throwing a bucket of soapy water on the hood and roof and going and driving down route 95 at 70 miles an hour -----the car got clean.

 

I love the picture of Janine supposedly training jiminy in Home Depot...  except....?training???  that hurt my feelings-----Let me be the first to correct that one she's exercising a dog who is very well trained already and is just being exercised.   How easily they forget.

 

Welllllll sometimes...? nothing to do... I had a new 47 pound bag of dog food----sitting there I had to wonder how many scoops there are in a 47 LB bag using our scoops... well there's 104..... and the 47 LB bag cost. $91 --- at about 5 cups per day(2 meals) I made that a bag and a half per adult dane... a month.    Just in case anyone needed to know that...

 

Ipswich is not a food delivery friendly town...   I must admit I was very happy with the open door program which apparently is going to give me a meal every Monday night...   however the restaurants in town don't come way out here to boxford Rd...   And if you even mention Ipswich to any of the surrounding restaurants it's too far the other direction so they anticipate delivery times of 50 minutes with an extra charge of $7.82..   so I'm stuck with Alex's sub shop--  even the Chinese restaurant won't deliver.. but you can hire one of those drivers which gets to be too complicated for my advanced age.

 

there was a wonderful show last night on about. AI....  I really wish I could have heard the whole thing but apparently it's something that  deserves some significant consideration..  they did have a man on who had been in an accident and severed his spine and therefore had no ability to walk..   until they put two funny little pancakes on top of his skull and he walked around with a computer in front of him and something would pick up one foot after the other and he could actually walk... however being hard of hearing I only heard about every third word and I really don't know what they said....  or if I could understand it if I had heard it... 

 I do find it amusing that dictating to this machine has taught it  to spell hay with an A.   because of my horse association  when it usually spells it with an E..... that's a very sophisticated bit of programming

 

it's almost as much as telling me there's traffic stuck a mile ahead on a back road On which I rarely travel..  They are watching whoever they are..
