    Off topic...dog related, just so funny I had to post it.

    I love boxers. They are known as the clowns of the dog world.I did not get a video, but a few years ago, Augie had a turd with a blade of grass hanging out his butt. For a couple of minutes, he was chasing it as fast as he could go in tiny circles. A barrel of laughs! Finally he accidentally...

    I looked it up. Only 2 players have hit homers in their first 2 MLB at bats (now 3). All 3 played in St Louis. Bob Nieman for the St Louis Browns and Keith McDonald for the Cardinals. McDonald only had 3 hits in his entire career in 9 at bats (all homers).

    Yeah, I spent about six months at a radar station between Hue and Quang Tri working security. We had a guy shoot up the station one night with his M-16. He said he had been treated unfairly. He didn't hit anyone or anything important. I think he just wanted to go home.

    A guy who served during the Korean War told me a story about when he met Esienhower. He felt guilty because he didn't actually go to Korea. Ike told him, "Son, you just go where they tell you to go and do what they tell you to do."

    talking about psych eval. I spent about 3 months at DaNang. Our bomb dump was a bit off the main base. The marines had a bomb dump across the road from us. As an E5, I was drawing a lot of duty in charge of security on the 4 to 12 shift at the dump. Things went pretty routine till we got a new...

    When I got a little older, we had 2 huge gardens, so we ate what we could grow. My folks grew up in the depression and had nothing. I guess that is why dad wanted to grow so much food. He gave a lot of it away. Working the gardens took time away from baseball, so I hated working in them.

    WAY back when I was a kid, we were poor. I took mayonnaise sandwiches to school for lunch. Actually they weren't bad.

    I used to let Maddie lead the way as long it was in areas I was ok with. Some folks see the dog in front and say the dog is walking you, but that doesn't have to be true. Giving the dog some measure of freedom makes the walk more enjoyable for the dog. They say a tired dog is a good dog. That is...

    Boy this has been crazy. The buyers are from out of state and are selling legal pot, so there have been complications. Their agent is a clown and their title company is in another state with different laws, so their title company screwed some things up. They are signing the papers in Arkansas...

    Finaly, in about40 minutes I have an appointment for closing on the warehouse I have been trying to sell for a long time. That will leave me with one to clean up and sell, but closing this one will cut the stress greatly.
