A Walk And A Bear

 On Saturday it was a little cooler than it has been so we took a little drive and walked around Turnbull Wildlife Sanctuary. It's been awhile since we've been here and although the water was quite low, it was still a nice walk. I had hoped to see more wildlife but you have to get there early in the morning for that. I'm working with a new camera because I was hoping to get out and about more. It has a great zoom on it but I just can't hold my body/hands still enough to get a clear pic.








A dad with his two daughters


That evening this little guy showed up. His name is Bearsy (12 y/o Pomeranian) and will be with us for a week. He's stayed at his home with a sitter before but never away from home; plus they just moved to town. I'm sure I'll have more to say about him next week but already he has peed in the house 3 times, sigh. I'm sure he's stressed, but dang that part of the job is getting old.

Good luck with Bearsy. And nice job with the photos. They are quite nice. We are finally supposed to cool down next week.

Live isn't always best

A fairly new trend by some FB business pages is go 'live' with either a Q and A, news broadcast, or just to connect with fans. I've tried to watch a few but the video quality is poor. If a FB page has a regular TV show, I would just rather watch them there. I follow one of our news stations on FB and they started going live a few months ago. I don't know if it's the entire broadcast or just a small part of it. At first the notifications were annoying so I finally stopped them but twice a day along with their regular news updates, half of the screen is taken up by: KXLY is now live! I like the news team and watch them, but don't need it in stereo, and especially accompanied with a cheesy photo. It seems like news stations are in such competition that we've got it coming from all angles of social media. I would just rather watch the news on that good old fashioned thing called the Television.  Just give me the straight news without all the mu...

Still Her Advocate

Image
As a parent gets older, their children take on rolls to make things easier for them. Simple phone calls to complain about Mom's phone being down was so stressful to her, especially when it happens over and over. I would have to call her phone company several times a year and always had the same spiel, "No, I'm not going to unplug it and plug it back in, this is an ongoing problem and she uses a lifeline so she NEEDS her phone". Then they would send someone out on emergency status.  At her new home we'd have to step in to tell the owner and girls what Mom liked and how she liked things done. Yes she was particular but it would make their life so much easier if they did it her way. She had so many things taken away from her the day she moved in; just give her control over a few things. Just because she couldn't do everything for herself, she still wanted things done her way. Even after death I fought with her funeral home for an entire week.  She had a prepaid p...

Exploding Snails

Image
serves them right for eating something so gross in the first place These two idiots in California are suing the Seafood Peddler restaurant in San Rafael over an alleged incident of "exploding" escargot. Chadwick St.-OHarra and Steve Righetti were celebrating Righetti's birthday at the restaurant and they both ordered the escargot. As they dove into the little devils with their cocktail forks the snails squirt out hot garlic butter on both of their faces and polo shirts. St-OHarra cried that butter got into one of his tear ducts causing 'temporary vision impairment' and said he was genuinely outraged about the incident. Maybe he should have sued his mother for naming him Chadwick, a name like that is just asking for trouble. And have you ever been outside when a tiny little bug flies into your eye. It hurts like Hell, but you don't see me suing God do you? Like God should have warned me that little bugs can be hazardous to my eyes, causing 'tempora...
