Yes, do not wear 3 large metal bracelets on each arm and expect to waltz on through.

Wear some socks unless you welcome the idea of strolling through security barefoot.

And take everything out of your pockets. Everything.

Thanks! We used to go to Williamsburg all the time, love it there! The kids are demanding a boatload of ginger cakes! One of the bakeries in the colonial bakeries has them.

Do Obama’s minions understand
That we listen-and we hear
Or excogitate before rushing
To put their mouths in gear?

From all the scandals stinking
Like a trash dump in the heat
It appears a hotel break-in
May be the next dubious feat

Because following that playbook
With its secrets, thrill and dirt
Already cost the author his office-
And barely left him with his shirt...

How is your new puppy getting along?

Buffy will eat ANYTHING, even another dog’s poop it appears. Good Lord deliver me. She has her dog obedience class tonight. She will be learning to “sit”. Last week’s assignment was just to click and give her a treat so she knows what happens when she hears the click.

A+++

Thank you! I’ve never had a dog that ate crap, but I’ve heard that from a couple of people about their puppies. Husky girl only went to a few obedience classes-Huskies seem well behaved as long as they are not left outside off-leash-EVER-they are escape artists and run for a living-even my old girl isn’t above giving it a go...

My other four dogs-guarding breeds and a herding dog-went the full monte on the obedience classes-they were all very headstrong.

That picture makes me want a little Spaniel like that-and as a general rule, I like big dogs-but that small breed is so personable...

I’ve only been the one time-I have a little teapot that I got from a shop there, and it is in my kitchen, well-used ever since.

This is true. They use these giant bags, I think they are called purses.

Purses are wonderful weapons-once a punk tried to steal mine when I was in the parking garage after work-I was so angry that I roared and swung it at his face as hard as I could-the security guard heard, came running and took away the kid-who was on the ground with a broken nose...
