Not a good week for pets - plus and entire Garbage Concert

With Milo being distraught over not knowing where his friend Blake is Sierra decided to take matters into her own hands and has, I assume run away looking for him. She really loved Blake. Sierra has has been gone for 2 days now.At this rate we will have to reload pets. A home without a lot of pets is not a home at all.  Maybe chickens or a rooster for the back yard  LOL    She has never ever been away for more then a few hours...

Bringing home the Bling

Read a huge article in the newspaper yesterday about the  Emerald Ash Borer.When I first heard about the Emerald Ash Borer five years ago everybody was predicting Ash trees were an endangered species I just figured science would find a way to eradicate the evil bug and didn't think much about it.   But now I've read that it's reached Janesville and that Madison, in response is deciding that it will undoubtedly lose all  21,000 Ash...

The Godless Particle and why you need to water your grass.

WOW - if you want to see a beautiful site, get up about 3:30 in the morning and look east.  Saturn, Venus and the moon are outstanding.  I have never ever seen Venus so bright. It's brighter then the moon. Yea - I was walking Blake at 3:30am, he got up a half hour early.  Then as I'm back in bed about 4:00 he's rooting around the house following the walls (he stays close to all the walls now) and  AH WOOF!! What?  He barked? he never barks.  AH WOOF  AH WOOF!!   hmmmm  I get up and there he is wedged...

Another cell phone bites the dust

Another cell phone bites the dust. It's getting so that the reasons for the phones to leaving my possession are now repeating themselves.  At least this one was not mulched.  This time it was stolen from my pocket by a pick pocket. The last time one was stolen was from the garage of the Dept of Justice. The police recovered the phone but needed it as evidence . . . .then they lost it. I am 100%  sure I was picked and can play...
