Only there are 2 of them, they have large teeth, 4 legs each, & tails.
Time for the girls to get a bath. They stink. It’s going to be warm today, & I have warm water in the back yard. Oatmeal shampoo for them abounds. No conditioner, their too sensitive skin can’t handle it.
Katie is easy. [...]

“I have received several parts for my CASCO system and I think that part of them have to be installed by a plumber. Can you get someone out here to install all of these parts?”
Chris gets his work orders from CasCo via email, & generally they have a description of the problem. This morning was [...]

The beaches have been cleared. People are out of the water. Keep them out for a few days & the shark will leave, if it hasn’t already. But don’t go hunting it to kill it.
People get into trouble when they invade the territory of wildlife. It happens here all the time. More & more homes [...]

Yeah, I’m reading it again. The first article was about the decline of proceeds & donations to charity, in bingo parlors, because of the smoking ban. The owners of the parlors have attributed it to the ban, because they’ve seen their customers go from their places to places on Indian reservations, where there are no [...]
My days generally start early, as I have an older dog whose bladder strength I worry about. Yesterday was no exception.
I found out that the admin assistant for one of Chris’ vendors had a boyfriend who was driving her to work, then told her last Wednesday that last Friday was her last day. So the [...]

Representative Douglas Bruce from Colorado Springs needs to be sent home. Permanantly. He’s been trouble since before he was sworn in.
On the day he was sworn in, he kicked a photographer for taking his picture during a prayer. He was censured then.
Yesterday while discussing a bill to bring migrant workers into Colorado for seasonal work, [...]

You call a store to see if the parts that were ordered for their fish system have come in yet, & the woman who answers the phone tries to sell you an aquarium.
That was the second store that I had called. The first, instead of ordering a gasket for the multiport, orders a whole new [...]

Chris & Joe just left, they are working on PetsMart & Wal-Mart fish systems all day today. Before they left, we had a wrestling match that ended with Chris getting hit in a place best not hit, because he shoved Joe into the stairs, or somewhere. Anyway, to call a truce, they decided to play [...]

We have Kentucky bluegrass in the front yard. Natural to Colorado. It handles the altitude & lack of moisture pretty well. It also has vermin in it. Dandelions. A lot of dandelions.
So I use Google, my sometimes friend, & it says one of the best ways to get rid of them is to dig them [...]

Every morning between 7 & 8, I put the girls out then go about feeding the birds & the fish. Today as I was feeding the occupants of the 210, Roscoe (an Albino Tiger Oscar) came to the glass, looked at me, & let me see the inside of his mouth as he chewed. I [...]
