this $#%^ dog!

You may recall hearing this little gem:  "No good deed goes unpunished...."

I had to run to the store this morning.  I really need to quit smoking.  The beagle was out in the back yard so I thought I'd sneak out with Bucket for a little daddy/doggie time with him.  As soon as I picked up the leash and had Bucket hooked up, there's the beagle peering in through the glass with this excited look on her face.  She likes to go bye-bye, so I decided to take her too.

The beagle is getting old and fat.  She can't quite jump up in the truck anymore.  She tried and missed.  As I went to help her, the leash slipped out of my hand and Bucket was off like a gazelle.

I looked for an hour and couldn't find him.  As usual, someone did and turned him in to the doggie police.

I met the nicest man today.  He's a dog catcher.  He had my dog, so a praise to the Lord for having him not hit by a car or taken away from me.  He makes me laugh.  Well, sometimes, not so much.  With my dog, Mr. dog catcher had a little present for me.  I got my dog back, leash and all still attached, and got a ticket for violating the leash laws.  And for an expired dog license.  Bucket's getting quite the rap sheet with the dog catchers.  At least this time they didn't take him to doggie jail.

Dumb dog.  I'm going to miss him when he moves to his new home in two weeks.

Oh, one more thing...  Go VOTE!  If you love your country, go vote for it's future.  Don't make an excuse.  It's not just a right, it's a DUTY of every citizen that loves freedom.  Government of the people, by the people doesn't work when the PEOPLE don't participate.

Not the story you were probably expecting.  It's written and waiting for guest author approval.

And part two....

What I've learned lately, I'm trying to apply to the oddest thing I've ever faced.  I mean that.  Over the years I've learned that when you lose, it's best to lose and walk away.  But this time, walking away seems to be not part of the plan.  It's like being forced to watch as the decision you made has consequences you could never imagine, and having to watch them as they play out. Running away isn't in the cards. I deserve that.  I mean that.  It's a blessing because it will keep me from being stupid tonight. And tomorrow.  It kept me from being stupid yesterday, etc... You get the idea. Whatever your opinion about where I'm at, where I'm at is where I am.  And this is what the Bible has to say:  Psalm 127 v1:  Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. From Jeremiah 10:23...Lord I know that peoples' lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. From Proverbs  16:1  To huma...

At least I can laugh about it!

The papers say: DALE L COOPER IS NOT THE..... I had to laugh because it was my Maury moment.  I'm not making this up; they say it just like that in bold type and all capital letters, like they're shouting it from the rooftops! I wonder if all caps and bold type in legal documents have the same significance as capitalizing things in an e-mail. There's a story here about why God is always good and His timing is impeccable. I mentioned earlier I had to get a copy of my divorce decree for my employer so they can verify some information I provided to them.  That is gonna have to wait because I got some papers in the mail from the State of Utah who is stepping in to set aside a portion of my divorce decree so that it meets their needs.  They need to undo something that got done through no fault of my own. When I quit fighting the former(?) Mrs., it was this issue that I gave in on. So today, I get to send my employer the information I got in the mail and hopefully...

As I drove up the circle the other day, I took a good look at my house and I decided I needed to change a few things. For far too long, I've been doing just what I needed to, to get by with keeping the lawn mowed and the garbage picked up, for the most part (except the mess in the back yard), but I saw some things I didn't like. For instance, one of my window screens fell out of the window.  Another was coming out of the frame.  I had a ladder out back I used to pick apricots.  That was in July.  My boat had a flat tire and was kind of starting to be a catch-all for this or that thing. No longer. The ladder is put away for the evening.  Tomorrow I have to get out the 20 footer to fix the other screen.  All of the junk is gone.  ALL of it.  I still have a couple of shelves to clean out and some cupboards to clean out and can do that this weekend.  But the non-working appliances, broken and disgusting furniture, and garbage is removed f...
