Morning OFC. Snow in the forecast later this week. I have a fire but trying not to start up the furnace.

@ GW...sounds like the perfect dog. My Pomeranian, American Eskimo mix is my best friend. She is always by my side. Couldn't fight her way out of a paper sack but always lets me know when some one or something is around.

Thinking I better drain my above ground sprinkler valves today. Supposed to drop below freezing the rest of the week. Won't blow out the whole system for a couple of weeks as the grass will need a couple more drinks before putting things to bed for the winter.

Jeez. Stayed more or less 82F all fargin day...

Morning OFC. Heavy mountain snow and many roads closed due to unprepared motorist. Many transplants have no idea how to drive on mountain roads. I ain't going up there. Fargin parking lot.

I can't believe it.....I need to start trimming again today. I might slow things down for a bit....getting tired being a slave to my garden. Might just concentrate on new strains rather than turning and burning. In the mean time it is back to the scissors.

I can't honestly say that. If'n it wasn't for the Old Hen, my arse would have been under the sod many moons ago.

The perfect dog for us, but as you note your own best friend is a Pomeranian, American Eskimo mix. My youngest sister prefers Pugs and we grew up in the same household. It's good that all those breeds are out there, with such a range of tastes, no? A best friend for everyone!


We had a blue Parakeet named Mikey growing up, who talked, sat on our shoulders, et al, passed out kisses, as well as shared our food and my grandmother had a green parrot named Polly who had an incredible vocabulary as well as a sense of humor for when to use it.

Not nearly as pretty as yours though! What kind of Parrot is it?

Tiki is a Sun Conure. I've got four others, but none are as sweet.

I'm just stupid I guess.
Ive been completely baffled by the coffee thing - just don't get why people drink it.
BUT... tea is a different story.
I do love a nice cuppa strong tea (or two) in the morning.
Sadly - here in Spain coffee is the staple & it's difficult to even find a place where you can get a cup of tea.

Most ricky-tick, Rosty. For YEARS he worked 10-day or 12-day shifts. Nearly ALL the competent doctors have just feckin' quit.

All they have now are recent med school grads (useless) (good only for following the instructions of their senior doctors while they are really learning).

Look at it thisaway: When an engineering student graduates from college, would that student be put as lead engineer on the design of a space vehicle? Or would he LEARN how to design a space vehicle from those old feckers over there that built the friggin' Mars landers?

Well... the old feckers have 90-95% packed it in due to horrendous politically driven mismanagement. That leaves nurses, almost-a-doctors (DO's etc), and med school grads.

Good luck. I doan need it. I gots my own pussanal doctor.

Some interesting thoughts to follow up on here.
There seems to be a widespread & accelerating 'dumbing-down'
In multiple fields in more recent times.
From my perspective it ties in with the increasing and accelerating "sophistication" (just look up what that word sophistication means!) of the internet and too easy access to information - and more particularly - misinformation.
Just one example then I'll shut up.
My brother Chris (dead from cancer a couple of years ago) was a radio and TV engineer.
He lost his job about 10 years ago when it became no longer economically viable to repair tv's, radios, etc. It became cheaper to just buy new and throw away the old.
Result.? That trade/profession no longer exists.
I'm sure any of you old feckers can think of many other examples.

Yeah - I guess - but although methylated spirits gets you drunk, it don't taste very nice
