JULY 7 2017

MEMORY DEVICE------DAILY-----I TAKE A 5 X 7 INDEX CARD, AND FOLD IT IN THIRDS --SO IT IS THE SHAPE OF MY CELL PHONE..   AND ON DAYS I A VERY ORGAINIZED, I PUT EVERY PHONE CALL- OR BUSINESS CONTACT ON IT ( WHILE I SIT AND LISTEN TO "YOUR CALL IS IMPORTANT TO US"-- THEY GET SCRIBBLED ALL OVER- BUT OCASSIONALLY IT HAS BEEN A HUGE TIME SAVER. AS MY CURENT DRAWER HAS ABOUT 8 INCHES GOING BACK TO JAN 1 2014. 

TODAYS TODO NOTES HAVE NEARLY FILLED IT ALREADY   

1.---- FROZEN RODENT DELIVERY COMPANY-- GEORGE IS NOT DOING  RAPTOR REHAB- SO I NEED TO CONTACT A DAVID TAYLOR THEN NEXT TOWN UP-- THE FREEZER IS NOT FULL FULL  BUT HE MIGHT NEED THEM MORE THAN WE DO...

2.----PURINA---  WE ARE GETTING DOWN IN CANNED FOOD-- AND LOW IN DRY-- SO I LOOKED UP ALL THE DELIVERYS AND IT SEEMS TO BE  THE ODD MONTHS 1-3-5  SO 7 IS IT ABOUT THE 12TH OF THE MONTH.. SO WE ARE RIGHT ON...

*********

MY MIDNIGHT TERROR BIT.. I FELL ASLEEP WIH THE TV ON.. AND WOKE TO THE 2 POLICEMEN WRESTLING WITH THE MAN- AND TEH ARRAINGEMENT MDE IT LOOK LIKE THE FRONT  OF THE G-TENT AND I THOUGHT WALTER ND BENTLEY WERE IN S FIGHT WITH A COUPLE PEOPLE TRYING TO BREAK IT UP.  I HAD SHOES ON READY TO RUN.. WHEN I LOOKED MORE CLOSELY....

 CRANNEY CO  IS HERE TO CHANGE TEH BIG ELECTIC BOX-  AT 8AM....SO  THERE WILL BE AN OFF/ON TIL THE INSTANT ON GENERATOR KICKS IN.. BUT ENOUGH TO HVE TO REBOOT ALL DEVICES.. SO GET READY

JULY 6 2016

THANKS TO BRAINTREE TOYOTA WE ARE  FINANCIALLY $1000  HEALTHIER THAN LST WEEK.

AND THANKS TO BUD'S DRIVING  WE GOT THERE AND BACK

WE APPARENTLY  WON 2 OF TEH $500 CONTESTS... AND WE CAN DO 3 A YEAR... SO STAY TUNED.

IF YOU  HAVE A MOMENT YOU MIGHT SEND A NOTE   210 UNION STREET  BRAINTREE MA  02184

THEY WERE VERY INTERESTED IN OUR PROJECT--- 

MOSTLY BECAUSE THEY KNEW OF A NURSE WHO WAS TRYING TO DO THE SAME THING WITH GOLDENS..

THEY WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO BE SURE I CONTACTED HER- AND EVEN GO T HER ON THE PHONE.

SHE IS ABOTU 13 YEARS BEHIND ME-- SHE JUST GOT HER 501 C 3 --- SHE HAS A BUNCH O F  DOGS AND .

KIDS WHO ARE MANAGING THEM-- SOUNDS FAMILIAR...

  SHE IS COMING HERE NEXT THURSDAY -- SHE HAD  SOME GOOD QUESTIONS BEST ANSWERED OVER COFFEE, MOSTLY BECAUSE TO SOME OF THE QUESTIONS SHE ASKED, THERE ARE NO ANSWERS I KNOW OF.

****

MEANWHILE --- AT THE FARM....

NOEL  HAS DECIDED TO TAKE MOTHERHOOD MORE SERIOUSLY-- AND HEAD BUTTED ONE OF THE  INTERNS WHO REACHED FOR HER PUP WITHOUT SAYING "MAY I?"   SO LET THAT BE A WARNING.. JUST BECAUSE LAST WEEK YOU GCOULD PICK UP HER PUPS-- YOU CAN NOT DO THAT NOW WITHOUT HER PERMISSION... SO WHEN IN DOUBT.. DON'T.

WE WATCHED TEH VIDEO- AND NOEL GAVE PLENTY OF WARNING THAT SHE DID NOT APPROVE OF TEH WAY SHE WAS MOVING AROUND HER PUPS.. THE  GLARING "STINK EYE"  AND NO HEAD MOVEMENT...  SHE IS ENTITLED TO BITE IF SHE DOES NOT APPROVE... IT IS CALLED AN EDUCATION... YOU ARE ALL WARNED-- DON'T COME TO ME COMPLAINING.

MEGAN MIGHT GET AWAY WITH  HAPPY HANDLING-- BUT WATCH ME... I ASK... I HAVE LEARNED...

***

NOW FOR THE VOMIT REPORT... 

WE BROUGHT GRUMMEN UP TO THE DEAGLE HOUSE FROM KENNEL 10 SO WE COUDL WATCH HIM... NO TEMP- 100.8---    BUT 3 TIMES VOMIT...  AND THE DOG WE TOOK DOWN TO KENNEL 10  LAST NIGHT TO TAKE HIS PLACE TOSSED HIS COOKIES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT... IT WAS TOO SOON TO BE CONNECTED.. GRUMMEN IS NOTED FOR EATING LARGE OBJECTS  SO LET US PRAY WHATEVER GOES THRU....

***

* AND PUPPY ( THE MINI HORSE)  HAD A GOOPY NOSE IN THE MORNING.. WHICH TURNED  INTO A 12 INCH HANGER OF A LIGHT GREEN COLOR-  SO BRYAN-- THE HORSE/DONKEY  VET  HAS BEEN ALERTED AND SHOULD B AROUND THIS MORNING SOMETIME... YOU WILL MISS ALL THAT UNTIL WE GET THE NEW CAMERAS...

IWILL ASK HIM TO REVIEW THE  SHOTS AND WORMING OF THE BUNCH OF EQUINES...

****

YOU MIGHT SEE THE ARCHITECT HERE THIS MORNING... HE SAID HE HAD A FEW QUESTIONS... THE CONCEPT OF PLANNING A BUILDING AHEAD OF TIME IS FOREIGN TO ME INTHE FIRST PLACE..--  I FIND IT PERSONALLY ANNOYING TO HAVE TO HAVE  SUCH PAPER WORK.  WHAT HAPPENS IF I GET OTHER IDEAS AS THE PROJECT PROGRESSES...... I AM ALREADY THINKING IT WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO STORE  TEH BAGGED SHAVINGS--- THAT ARE SO MUCH CHEAPER IF I BUY THEM BY THE TRUCKLOAD.-- BY HAVING A SLIGHTLY STEEPER PITCH TO THE ROOF OR MAYBE EVEN A 'PONY WALL" OF 18 INCHES WE COUOD STORE ALOT OF SHAVINGS THERE..

IF I MENTION THAT I WILL BET HE WILL WANT TO CALCULATE THE SIZE/VOLUME OF THE BAG- AND TEH VOLUME OF THE TRUCK..  PAPER PEOPLE  JUST HAVE NOT LEARNED TO DEAL WITH   "SOME"  

****

AND ANNE AND I HAVE SOME GRANT WORK TO DO.

***

SOMEBODY SENT ME PICTURES OF OUR CONGRESS WITH AMTS OF MONEY THEY HAVE RECIEVED FROM THE GUN LOBBY--- MAYBE 50 PEOPLE WHO GOT FROM 1 TO 7  MILLION EACH- 

MY QUESTION IS...EXACTLY WHERE DID THAT MONEY COME FROM?  -- THE SOURCE-- LIKE  ARE  GUN SALES ARE THAT PROFITABLE  TO BE ABLE  TO AFFORD THE MANY MILLIONS--- OR ARE THEY SELLING GUNS TO  ANY ARMY THAT NEEDS A TRUCKLOAD..  BOTH SIDES OF ANY WAR  WOULD BE PROFITABLE FOR GUN SALES...

I NEED TO KNOW... AS IN  "FOLLOW THE MONEY".  

WE NEED MORE SPECIFICS... NO MORE GENERALIZED  "GUN  LOBBY"  WHO ARE THEY  AND WHO HAS THE CHECKBOOK???

 SOME CP WILL KNOW... 

NO?

JULY 5 2016

I RAISED 2 KIDS  WITHOUT CONSULTING ANY BOOKS OR OTHER  EXPERTS- WE WERE TOO BUSY DOING THINGS- LIKE PAYING MORGAGE AND EATING FOOD....( AND PUTTING ON "THE CIRCUS" IN THE SUMMER.) SO IT PLEASES ME  TO SPEND TIME WITH THEM  NOW THAT  THEY HAVE BECOME RELATIVELY  NORMAL ADULTS.

WHAT STARTED THIS WAS DRIVING JANINE AND - SON  COLBY-   TO THE AIRPORT FOR HER FLIGHT  TO COLORADO.  THE 25 MINUTES IT TOOK GOT HER GOING ON THE FACT THAT THERE EXISTS  AN OVERLAPPING COMPUTER  SYSTEM SO  THE TRASH CANS IN BOSTON CAN TALK TO THIS   GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY AND TELL  THAT AUTHORITY WHEN TO SEND ROUND THE  TRASH PICKER-UPPER TRUCK TO EMPTY IT.  TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE... IT KEEPS TRACK OF WHICH TRASH BIN GETS PICKED UPHOW OFTEN,,, -  SO OF COURSE---   THEN THERE IS SOMEONE HIRED TO PREDICT WHICH BIN WILL NEED COLLECTING NOT ONLY HOW OFTEN, BUT WHEN,,, WE AE NOT FAR AWAY FROM HAVING THE BIN ANALYZE TEH  CONTENTS ----EMPTY COFFEE CUPS TO NEWSPRINT TO CANS-  WHICH BRINGS ME TO ... DOGS

IF DOGS CAN BE TRAINED TO SNIFF AROUND AIR-PORTS FOR THE RESIDUALS OF BOMB MAKING,  WHY CAN'T WE  "TEACH " TRASH CANS TO DO THE SAME ?

AND DUMPSTERS--- THE ULTIMATE SECURITY SYSTEM... IF WE COULD JUST TEACH DUMPSTERS AND TRASH CANS TO  REPORT SUSPICIOUS  AIRBORNE  SUBSTANCES LIKE THE DOGS APPARENTLY DO...

WE WOULD  GET A HANDLE ON WHO WAS MAKING BOMBS WHERE. BEFORE THEY GOT  IN A CAB AND WENT SOMEWHERE .  

PRIOR TO MY GETTING  GOING ON SERVICE DOGS I CONSIDERED TRAINING BOMB SNIFFING DOGS - MOSTLY BECAUSE  SOMEONE IN THE  ARMY MENTIONED  THEY WOULD PAY ME  $90,000 PER DOG-  A VERY ATTRACTIVE NUMBER--- SO I THOUGHT ABOUT SNIFFERS-- THE 3 B's ... BLOODHOUNDS ,  BEAGLES AND BASSETTS BEING BIGGIES.  I ALWAYS LIKED BASSETTS  BUT I COULD NOT SEE A STATE COP WALKING AROUND THE AIRPORT WITH A BASSETT REGARDLESS  OF HOW GOOD.  PERCEPTION IS 98% OF SUCCESS. -

I NEEDED ANOTHER SOURCE.... DUE TO A LOCAL FOX HUNTING  GROUP THERE WAS A BUNCH OF "SNIFFERS.."  -- FOXHOUNDS  THAT  SOMETIMES HAD FABULOUS FAILURES -  AND I WAS ALL SET TO START AFTER THAT $90K WHEN MY OTHER DAUGHTER - GWEN-  WHO IS FAMOUS FOR HER  CLEAR THINKING  PLUS TOTAL RECALL OF EVERYTHING  PASSING IN FRONT OF HER EYES SAID " I DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN A HOUSE IF YOU GET INTO BOMB SNIFFING BECAUSE IF YOU CAN'T FIND YOUR GLASSES, CELL PHONE AND WALLET, WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN YOU MISPLACE THE SAMPLES YOU WOULD NEED  OF EXPLOSIVES?"

SHE HAD A POINT-- SO I STARTED WITH SERVICE DOGS.

********

CHORES OF THE DAY  GENERALLY GETTING THE LEAD OUT- 

 I HAVE PROJECTS THAT NEED SOME---  UUUMMMMPPPHHHH

JULY 4 2016

THIS WILL BE SHORT--- I NEED TO TAKE JANINE TO THE AIRPORT  5AM    TO GO REPRESENT ME/US  AT MY BROTHER-IN LAW'S  MEMORIAL CEREMONY IN PAGOSA SPRINGS  COLORADO--WILLIAM SMITH-...  IT  WILL BE  A LIVELY- SOMEWHAT DIZZY BUNCH- MY OTHER DAUGHTER GWEN WILL BE THERE TOO... ADD  CUSIN DEBBIE FROM WASHINGTON DC- AND THE  COMBINATION SHOULD BE VERY ENJOYABLE  GROUP... WE (  THE  SDP  FAMILY) HAVE A CP IN THE SAME TOWN- SO MAYBE SHE CAN GIVE US A REPORT... ************ .. I MUST OPEN THE NEW  CHICKEN WALL RIGHT NOW--- IF  WHEN YOU ORDER CHICKEN BRICKS FROM US HERE AT THE OFFICE, IF YOU WOULD INCLUDE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS WE WOULD SEND YOU THE NUMBERS ALONG WITH POSTING THEM ON THE WHITE PAPER REPORT ONSCREEN... *********** WE HAVE ALOT OF NEW APPLICANTS- GOOD PROSPECTS-- SOME VETERANS-COUPLE KIDS,  NOW THAT I CAN SEE OUR WAY THRU THE PROBLEM OF LONG DISTANCE... WITH THE DONATION OF AIR MILES ...  I AM NOT SO QUICK TO TURN DOWN THE APPLICATIONS FROM FURTHER AWAY...  IT WILL BE AN EXPERIMENT WITH THIS GROUP OF PUPS...( THE 8 MONTH OLD ONES NOW IN TRAINING) **** WE HAD A BUNCH OF LOCAL APPLICANTS HERE YESTERDAY-- ONES THAT CAN , WILL BE COMING BACK TO DO SOMETHING-- -- FROM FOLDING LAUNDRY TO POO PICKING.. IT TAKES MORE THAN A VILLAGE, IT TAKES AN ARMY !!! ********** SINCE WINNING MEGABUCKS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE GETTING SERVICE DOG PROJECT TOO MUCH MONEY.....   MAYBE A BOOK... I HAVE MANY PEOPLE TELLING ME TO WRITE A BOOK.... WELL I ALREADY HAVE.. IT JUST NEEDS A LITTLE HELP FROM ALL YOU CP'S  IN  THE EDIT DEPT... WHAT I NEED IS FOR ALL OF YOU TO  SEND TO ME (WITH SUBJECT "BOOK" )  ALL THE DAILY DOGGIES   YOU THINK BOOK WORTHY  - LIKE ONES THAT THAT MADE YOU LAuGH ENOUGH TO SPIT COFFEE ALL OVER YOUR KEYBOARDs...  OR  TRAINING GEMS WHATEVER.... THEN  JANINE COULD FIGURE OUT HOW TO PUT THEM IN A BOOK AND WE COULD EVEN HOT TOP THE DRIVEWAY !! MAYBE SOME OF YOU PEOPLE WHO ARE FARTHER AWAY COULD GET THAT PROJECT GATHERED??? I AM TOLD THE BOOK IS ALREADY WRITTEN.. IT WOULD NEED AN INTRODUCTION TO EXPLAIN SOME OF THE DETAILS... OR MAYBE A GLOSSARY?   GOT TO WORK ON THAT... ************ GRACE WILL KEEP THE FARM RUNNING MEGAN IS NOT HERE TODAY-- STEVE IS PAM IS AROUND- SOMEWHERE JANINE'S HORSE GOT PARKED HERE TIL SHE GETS BACK...  THE PLACE SHOULD KEEP RUNNING.

JULY 3 2016

..WE HAD A NICE PARTY WITH RECIPIENTS AND VOLUNTEERS...  BUT NO ONE CAME FROM THE DEVELOPEMENT NEXT DOOR..  ONE WOMAN  DID WRITE A NICE "REGRET" - BUT THE REST DIDN'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE  MY OFFER TO SHOW THEM AROUND AND EXPLAIN ANYTHING THEY QUESTIONED...

SO I TRIED ----- WITH A BOARD APPROVED INVITATION TOO !!

MARKS HAMBERGERS WERE SUPER- AND WE HAVE PLENTY LEFT FOR TODAY-- WHICH IS SHATTING DAY.

THANK HEAVENS  IS IT IS A PURPLE EGG SHATTING DAY.. WE... THE RECIPIENTS.. ARE DELIGHTED WITH EVERY SINGLE BRICK PURCHASE. IT MUST BE NOTED...... MOSTLY BECAUSE THAT I WAS BEGINNING TO   PANIC--- WE DO HAVE A FEW "CHUNKY" BUYERS  BLESS THEM THAT THEY CAN BUY CHUNKS,    BUT  THERE WERE-  ,, WELLL BY ACTUAL STATS.-- I WENT AND COUNTED..THERE WERE OVER 300 PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT  1OR 2 BRICKS--- AND 15 WHO BOUGHT CHUNKS OF  20  OR MORE...  SO EVERY ONE IS OUR BREAD AND BUTTER  - BUT THE 1'S AND 2'S DO MOUNT UP-- SO NOW IF ALL YOU WOULD GO GET A FRIEND TO BUY ONE    I WOULD BE LAUGHING BY MID MONTH...

 EVERY TIME I TALK  TO A DAILY DOGGIE PERSON  THAT HAS NEVER HEARD OF THE CHICKEN BRICKS, I CRINGE   KNOWING THAT  IS A FAILURE OF OUR SYSTEM....

WHEN I GET AN APPLICANT WHO HAS NEVER HEARD OF OUR WEB SITE.. I REALLY STRES...

WE DON'T CHARGE FOR OUR DOGS GRANTED... AND WE DON'T INSIST PEOPLE FUND RAISE FOR US,   BUT LETS BE PRACTICAL.... SOMEHOW WE HAVE TO PAY THE TRASH COLLECTOR--- SO THE PERSON WHO COMES IN  AND SAYS "I BOUGHT A BRICK TO SUPPORT YOUR WONDERFUL ORGANIZATION EVEN IF I DON'T GET A DOG".....  THAT ATTITUDE GETS NOTICED...

 LIKE STEVE-- OUR RESIDENT VETERAN -- WHO SUFFERS WITH A JOB OF   TRAINING  CRAZY  DOGS IN THE FREEZING COLD AND BLAZING HEAT- SO HE CAN "PAY IT FORWARD"  TO THE NEXT GUY WHO NEEDS A CHARLIE....  I AM SURE HE COULD QUALIFY FOR A NICE CUSHY JOB PUSHING PAPERS AROUND HIS DESK --- BUT I ALSO HOPE HE WOULD HATE THAT- 

DID YOU NOTICE THE FIRST ONE I WOULD PAY IS THE TRASH COLLECTOR ???  I WOULD NOT NOTICE IF  THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNTRY TAKES A VACATION TO PLAY GOLF--- BE IT HILLARY, OR TRUMP, OR WHOEVER ELSE IS APPLYING FOR THE JOB, BUT IF THAT TRASH GUY IS EVEN A FEW HOURS LATE.... I NOTICE.    I SMILE AND WAVE AT HIM.... HE HAS A JOB TO DO, AND HE IS DOING IT.

I KNOW I HAVE  ASKED THIS QUESTION BEFORE, ...  JUST HOW INTELLIGENT CAN THESE CANDIDATES BE.....  STRUGGLING FOR TEH JOB.... WHEN  25% GET SHOT AT AND 10% KILLED ON THE JOB.

PERSONALLY , I WOULD NOT EVEN GO TO THE CONVENTIONS.!!

******

HOWEVER...

EXECUTIVE DECISION OF THE DAY--- THE BED.--- WE USUALLY HAVE IT IN FRONT OF THE T TENT AND STRUGGLE TO GET SOME SHADE ON IT...  WELL, IF WE COULD MOVE TEH SEDINTARY CROWD OF PEOPLE  TO THE G- TENMT, AND KEEP THE BED IN THE SHADE OF THAT,   THE DOGS WOUDL BE MORE COMFORTABLE 

SO TODAY --- MY JOB WILL BE TO  COMPRESS ALL THE   GROUNDSKEEPING  EQUIPMENT  INTO THE BACK OF TEH G TENT IN "BUDS WORLD" ----  WE SEEM TO HAVE A REPRODUCTIE BONANZA GOING ON WITH MOWERS... PEOPLE KEEP GIVING US MOWERS THAT DON'T WORK , AND BUD ACCEPTS TEH CHALLANGE AND FIXES THEM-- - ALONG WITH THE RIDE ON MOWER, , WE SEEM TO HAVE  AT LEAST 5 WALK-BEHINDS... 

THIS CONCEPT ILLIUSTRATES A PROBLEM WITH TODAYS EDUCATION.-- NO ONE FIXES-  THE LOGIC OF REPAIR IS LOST ON THE WHOLE GENERATION....  "IT DOESN'T WORK" IS A DEAD END- AND IT SHOLDN'T BE.....

 NOW WHO WANTS TO GO TO --- "I DON'T WORK" .

 DO YOU VOLUNTEER? 

WHOOPS.......I AM IN TROUBLE AGAIN...... 

ESPECIALLY IF YOU DRIVE.....GO SHOPPING FOR SOMEONE WHO GAVE UP THEIR LICENSE DUE TO AGE- OR OTHER INFIRMITY.  BAKE A CAKE FOR THE FIREDEPARTMENT--- DO SOMETHING.  

JULY 2 2016

PURPLE  EGG BIT IS UP  ON THE CHICKEN BOARD !!!!!

I THINK AT DOGFEST WE SHOULD HAVE A "PATRONS TENT" LIKE THEY DO AT THE BIG FANCY HORSE SHOWS FOR PEOPLE  IN ROLEX WATCHES AND GOLD JEWELERY....- EXCEPT OUR PATRON'S TENT SHOULD BE FOR THE SHATUPON SOCIETY MEMBERS.....  MAYBE HAVE PLASTIC CHAIRS FOR THEM TO SIT ON... AND THE NON MEMBERS WOULD HAVE TO SIT ON TREE STUMPS.. 

CAMERA MARK  WILL BE GRILLING  FOR THE SPECIAL ACCUMULATION OF A COUPLE RECIPIENTS AN DPURPLE SHIRTS- AND HOPEFULLY SOME OF THE PARTRIDGEBERRY PLACE PEOPLE- WHO SHOULD GET A  GOOD LOOK AROUND AT THE ENTIER OPERATION..INCLUDING THE 5 DAY OLD PUPS... 

I AM TOLD MOST PEOPLE DON'T RSVP ANYMORE  BUT ONE PERSON FROM THE DEVELOPEMENT DID

We really appreciated receiving your newsletter to clear up confusion that was brought up at the zoning board committee. Thank you for taking the time for clarification and to reach out and invite us for a tour. Unfortunately, our son plays summer travel baseball, which finds us at all corners of New England nearly every weekend of the summer months. We have been to your farm in the past for a visit and enjoyed meeting the dogs and visiting with the puppies. We do hope to have a chance to visit again soon. 

IF  A FEW OF THOSE KIDS COME HERE TO DO THEIR COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS  MAYBE  THINGS WOULD BE MORE  SALUBRIOUS  

SPEAKING OF THEM PUPS....-- MEGAN 'S PHONE DOES WORK IN ONE SECTION OF THE SUN ROOM, SO SHE WAS ABLE TO RECORD FOR FACEBOOK ( AND COURTNEY AND EXPLORE)  OUR 5PM  WIDDLE WEIGHIN'S

I SAT ON THE FLOOR SO WE COULD STAY IN HER PHONE CAMERA RANGE ?WIFI SIGNAL??? WHILE WE WEIGHED EACH PUP- TAKEES ABOUT 5 MINUTES BEFORE MAIL CALL...  2 MINUTES TO WEIGH THE 4 PUPS AND 3 MINUTES FOR ME TO  GET UP OFF THE FLOOR.

I AM REMINDED OF THE  INTRODUCTION TO STEREO RECORDINGS ?IN THE 1950'S?  PLACING HUGE SPEAKERS IN SPECIFIC LOCATIONS ETC.... WHEN ONE COMMEDIAN OBSERVED "YOU ONLY GET THE TRUE STEREOPHONIC EFFECT  IF YOU SIT IN THE BOTTOM OF THAT CUBBARD.."     WELL MEGAN'S CELL PHONE GETS A STRONG ENOUGH WIFI SIGNAL TO DO A VIDEO ONLY  IF SHE IS BEHIND TEH RECLINER IN THE SUN ROOM... BUT WE DID IT !!!  ON THE EXPLORE CAMERA AND  MEGAN'S PHONE...- SHE IS OFF TODAY AND TOMORROW  BUT WE WILL TRY AND DO THE WIDDLE WEIGHIN'S DAILY.

**********

I FEEL I HAVE ONE TOE IN THE DOOR WITH MY DISTURBING RELATIONSHIP WITH MY COMPUTER... 

I USE ANIMALEP@AOL.COM  AS MY EMAIL ADDRESS-- HOW I GOT 5 OTHERS BOGGLES MY MIND- AND A SAMPLE APPLE ID  PASSWORD  WAS d7257602345b14ac28ea3f2e294f78ec1d90e8770c1f7a88c3a1hjuf5c218bee8d1   OR DID I SHOW THAT TO YOU ALREADY??

I AM GETTING ABSOLUTELY TECHY--I HAVE DELETED  A BUNCH OF PHOPT'S AND HAVE ONLY 10 PICTURES LEFT 5 OF RECIPIENTS AND ONE OF GEORGE (DVM GEORGE0 STARTEING THE C SECTION ON NOEL...

 TOMORROWS TECH EXCITEMENT WILL BE TO FIGURE OUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TURN SIGNAL AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON MY CAR.  

MAYBE BY NEXT WEEK I COULD DRIVE AFTER DARK IF I FIGURE OUT THE DIFFERENT LIGHTS- AND HOW LONG THEY STAY ON...

*******

AND THEN THERE IS THE PROBLEM  OF LAWN WATERING-- THE FLAT FIELD IS NEARLY A BROWN DESERT--AND AT LEAST ONCE YEARLY , I RUN THE  PUMP IN OUR THE WELL FOR A WHILE... WE HAVE A WELL-- DOWN 500 FEET--  I DON'T KNOW HOW DEAD FISH GOT IN THAT WATER, BUT THAT IS WHAT IT TASTES LIKE.  .. IT IS PERFECTLY GOOD TO DRINK -  MINERAL TESTS ARE SO HIGH YO HAVE TO CHEW IT FIRST...

IT IS HOWEVER GOOD FOR LAWN WATERING.... AS LONG AS TEH PUPS DON'T CHEW THE HOSES- 

IT IS VERY LOGICAL THAT TO TURN IT ON AND OFF YOU TRIP THE CIRCUT BREAKER IN THE CELLER- WE REALLY COULD USE A NEW LIGHTBULB THERE--  WHOEVER PUT THE 20 WATT BULB INTHE CEILING FIXTURE I AM SURE HAD GOOD INTENTIONS,  BUT LAST NIGHT WHEN THE  NURSERY CAMERA WENT DARK, IT WAS ONLY ME TRYING TO TURN OFF THE WATER IN THE FLAT FIELD. WHICH EVENTUALLY LEAD TO MY BEING IN THE DRIVEWAY IN MY PJ'S TRYING TO SEE IF THE SPRINKLERS WERE ON OR OFF--- ALL BECAUSE OF A 20 WATT BULB.

ANOTHER OF THOSE "FOR WANT OF A NAIL THE SHOE WAS LOST" DEALS.

***

 THAT NURSERY CAMERA IS PRETTY FORGIVING AND DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE TO GO THRU A COMPLICATED RE-BOOTING PROCEEDURE LIKE TEH KITCHEN  OR PUPPY HILL ONE.

***

I DID TALKE TO TIM WHO SAID HE IS COLLECTING HARDWARE AND HUMANS TO COME SET US UP WITH THE LATEST - WHICH WILL - I THINK - GIVE US A NEW PUPPY HILL AND DONKEY CAMERA-- WHICH IF WE CUT A HOLE IN THE WALL SHOULD BE ABLE TO VIEW MOST OF THE STALL AND PASTURE  AS ONE OF TTHE  MYSTERIOUS CAMERA OPERATORS IN GEORGIA ( OR WHEREVER) CAN OPERATE  IT LONG DISTANCE.

****

LONG DISTANCE CAMERA OPERATING BLOWS MY MIND WHEN I CAN'T EVEN GET MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON AT THE RIGHT TIME.

FROM DAUGHTER GWEN....

Beth had an interesting observation once years ago which I never forgot.

It was 'were you a caller or a call-ee in elementary school?'

I.e., Did you call people names or were you called names?

We have since decided she was a caller and I was a call-ee.

These things are decided early and set the tone for everything to come later.

I've always thought that was interesting. She and I still use that now to describe people.

 YUP- GET 'EM YOUNG TRAIN 'EM  EARLY

BETH IS  NOW ONE OF THOSE WOMEN WHO STANDS UP ON THE DESK  BLINDFOLDED AND HOLDS 2 DISHES ON STRINGS .  

*****

WHO WOUDA KNOWED?

JUNE 31  aka  july 1 2016

I DON'T READ books  MUCH--.. SO WHY I WHIPPED THRU-- "TRIBE"  I DO NOT KNOW... EXCEPT IF HIS ASSUMPPTIONS ARE CORRECT, IT EXPLAINS  A GREAT DEAL FROM  COLLEGE  FRATERNITIES TO  CONGRESS TO ISIS.. AND   TO THE FACT THAT I HAVE... SO FAR.. HAD  NOT ONE RESPONSE TO THE INVITATION FROM THE 20  HOUSEHOLDS IN THE PARTERIDGEBERRY "DEVELPEMENT" NEXT DOOR. HOPEFULLY THEY MIGHT JUST SHOW UP.... SO WE BETTER BE PREPARED...I

"tribes." 

We have a strong instinct to belong to small groups defined by clear purpose and understanding--

Decades before the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin lamented that English settlers were constantly fleeing over to the Indians-but Indians almost never did the same.  The most recent example of that attraction is combat veterans who come home to find themselves missing the incredibly intimate bonds of platoon life. The loss of closeness that comes at the end of deployment may explain the high rates of post-traumatic stress disorder suffered by military veterans today.

THAT AUTHOR .. WHOEVER ( ALSO WROTE PERFECT STORM)IN A VERY SHORT BOOK AS BOOKS GO... EXPLAINED A THEORY THAT HAS  CONFUSED ME EVER SINCE I WENT TO COLLEGE... IN THE GIRLS DORM IT WAS VERY CONFUSING... YOU JOINED A MISC COLLECTION OF FEMALES AND WERE THEN KNOWN AS GAMMAS OR KAPPAS OR DELTAS SORORITY  AND YOU DECIDED ANY GROUPE BUT YOURS WAS  AN  INFERIOR BUNCH OF  NER-DO-WELLS.AND YOU BARELY SPOKE TO ANYONE  OTHR THAN YOUR OWN GROUP  -- AND YOU SAT WITH THEM AT DINNER-- LIKE CONGRESS  THEY ALL SIT TOGETHER  NOT MUCH ACROSS THE AISLE BUSINESS OF INDIVIDUAL THINKING.

WANNA TALK ABOUT PACK MENTALITY?... AND WHY WE DON'T PUT MORE THAN 2 DOGS ON PUPPY HILL TOGETHER WITHOUT SUPERVISION???  THEY BAND TOGETHER AND PICK ON ONE.  I WOULD LIKE TO THINK DOGS WERE BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLE- BUT THEY DO PACK- AND PACKS ARE DANGEROUS.

I HOPE ALL THESE NEIGHBORS HAVE NOT MADE A PACK TO MAKE SDP LIFE DIFFICULT...  THE WARNING SIGNS ARE THERE.. I DID INVITE THEM TO JOIN US...AND EVERYONE THOUGHT IT WAS A VERY NICE INVITATION AND GESTURE...  SO  LET US PRAY.

IT HAPPENS WITH AGE-- NOT MY DECADES-- MUCH SOONER..

PUPPIES DON'T PACK... BUT WE HAVE SEEN --DOZENS OF TIMES AROUND HERE -- ALL OF A SUDDEN.. OND DAY COMES AND MEGAN AND I WILL DECIDE IT IS TIME TO BREAK UP THE LITTER INTO 2'S... YOU ALL HAVE SEE THAT ON CAMERA... AND THE 2'S GENERALY WORK- THEY ENJOY EACH OTHER'S COMPANY--- ADD THE 3'D AND ALL HEJJ BREAKS LOOSE... 

NOW LETS  GO TO HUMANS...  BABIES DON'T PACK.... UNTIL ONE KID  PICKS UP A TOY TRUCK AND WHACKS ANOTHER IN THE HEAD-- WHEN THE WHACKED YELLS,,  THE WHACKOR SMILES JUST A WEE BIT... AND IT STARTS.- MOMMY SAYS DON'T DO THAT - AND THEY DON'T WHEN SHE IS LOOKING... BUT 

THE WHACKER WILL FIND MORE SUBTLE WAYS OF BEING A BULLY-- IT IS A SHORT ROAD TO " I DON'T LIKE YOU AND MY FRIENDS DON'T LIKE YOU EITHER..".. WHICH IS ABOUT " WHERE OUR PRESIDENTIAL RACE NOW IS..."    "THEY TELL ME...."   I.E. ---"I HAVE FRIENDS....."

THE WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST IS 2016 YEARS OLD.. BASICALLY  BETWEEN RELIGIONS.??? HOW DIFFERENT IS THAT THAN  AT COLLEGE THE BETAS NEVER SAT WITH THE DELTAS- OR WHATEVER..

PACK MENTALITY.

I DO THINK THE AUTHOR OF "TRIBE" HAS A VALID POINT TO MAKE  PERSONAL SECURITY  OF A GROUP -- 

AND THEN THERE IS "THE MOM SONG"  "IF ALL YOUR FRIENDS JUMPED OFF A CLIFF WOULD YOU JUMP TOO?"  

HIS ANSWER- AND MINE- IS THERE IS A GREAT PROBABILITY -- YES.

***********

HOW DID I GET GOING ON THAT????

*************

I FORGOT  ALOT OF OTHER STUFF.

THANK HEAVENS FOR MY CLOCK ON THE WALL

IT  IS A MON-TUES- WED  TYPE.. AND IT TELLS ME THIS IS FRIDAY...

TGIF--- AND THERE AREN'T  TOOOOO MANY BRICKS LEFT... I WILL WATCH TO SEE WHEN I CAN FLIP TH E PURPLE EGG SWITCH...  HOPEFULLY...
