    All we have is mud and snow. It's supposed to snow again tomorrow.

    We still have another month at least of mud and snow before anything resembling warm happens.

    Took my daughter out for a walk on the back 10 acres because it was so nice outside, and she didn't listen when I said that she needs to follow me--she ended up stuck in the mud up to her shins. Then I went to get her out and I ended up getting stuck. When we finally got back to the house, she refused to come in for a while, we had to take our shoes off in the garage.

    We already have these creepy little spiders jumping all around in the grass. We'll have ticks out in full force pretty soon. Bleh on that, but hooray for open windows today!

Meh , they'll be alright , they should know better , if they do not listen , I think they act like you" , she would say , " No , one of your girls".I would have them out in a minute. LOL.

    The only thing that calmed her down was the promise of reading "Duck, stuck in the muck" and a session on the trampoline when we got back to the house. She's a character, and she just adores people far too much. She'll go and hug perfect strangers.

    Good teamwork book. Having been stuck in the muck a few times myself, I could have used a couple fish & three Moose.

    We had a good, long chat about what you should and should not be scared about. She agreed with me--she's just overly-sensitive sometimes. Especially when she hasn't had enough sleep.

    My second day in Portland, I went to Saturday Market. It was summer and everybody was out. A young woman with a cute little boy in a stroller were there and I crouched to say hello. The little guy hugged me and would not let go. I had no idea what to do (it must be pretty entertaining to see a guy who never gets flummoxed get flummoxed. I stood, he was on me like a leech, and tapped mom on the shoulder with a very rapid and clear
    "I'm sorry but he hugged me and would not let go". She took it in stride and I was glad not to get shot. I am the world's most horrible sucker for children. I have no defense against them whatsoever.

    There is only one correct way: freedom. All other solutions are non-solutions.

    It appears that artificial intelligence is at least slightly superior to natural stupidity.

    Convincing the world he didn't exist was the Devil's second greatest trick; the first was convincing us that God didn't exist.

    She's such a beauty, has such an outgoing personality--and when she accidentally hurts me, she'll run over and hug/kiss me pretty close to the butt area (her height). I had to grab and scoop her when she was about to hug and kiss some stranger who said "OW!" when he hit his arm on something in the store. Then I whispered in her ear "just say you hope he's okay." She did.

Leg traps , poison gas , you name it....only real result was , once a guy across the way had a german shepherd he breed , well , it killed and ate one of the toxic groundhogs in our yard and died .

    Around five years ago, my Doberman killed five and left them by the porch steps. Of course he killed them one at a time, but the total was five. I was very impressed with his ability to do them in.

    I have this old groundhog out back that has been eating my tomatoes for years. I've watched that feller get old and gray. There for a while and back in his youth I used to catch him and he'd run back to his hole. What bugged me was that he'd take a few bites and leave it on the ground. I wouldn't mind if he ate the whole thing. Ah well. After a while I just planted a few extras. It has been a fulfilling friendship ever since. He doesn't even run away anymore. I hope he's still around this year.

    I've had problems with them digging through the field stone foundation of my 137 year old home. Ever since that happened, it's been war.

    It ain't gone yet.
    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    Go Forward With Courage

    When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;
    when doubt no longer exists for you, then go forward with courage.
    So long as mists envelop you, be still;
    be still until the sunlight pours through and dispels the mists
    -- as it surely will.
    Then act with courage.

    We're having a tropical heat wave-- 45 °F At this rate we may very well see spring before June.
