The Queen of country music turns 89 today. She's in poor health but don't believe those internet stories that say she's gone. Loretta is.....and always will be.... my favorite female singer. Her voice is as unique as a voice can get...just like her friend Patsy Cline. When you heard their voices you didn't have to stop and ask who it was. We love you Miss Loretta.
I'm feeling better now. It definitely feels good to unplug occasionally in these crazy times. Our new puppy is doing great. After about 24 hours she felt right at home. We're even making progress on potty training. It's been 20 years since we've done that. Spring is definitely here.
I'm probably going to be taking a few days off. I just need an internet break. I'm starting to feel old lately. The world is changing so much, The things that mattered to me are fading into the past and being eaten away by the politics of change. I just feel like everything around me is under attack. Don't worry about me. I just need a break from everything. I'll be back in a few days.
We got our puppy today. It's a little shih-tzu. My wife had one when I met her and then we got 2 around the year 2000. I didn't even know what they were when I met my wife but now I love them. I start my volunteer job tomorrow as the P A announcer for local high school baseball team. I should practice. "Now up for the Moonshiners...center fielder....number 01...Hooobieee Harrrtkkiinnssssss!" How did that sound?
There's a thousand things a man can do better than a woman. There's a thousand things a woman can do better than a man. That makes us equal. It is possible that two things that are different can be equal. It is possible that two things that are equal can be different.
Hmmm, around my neck of the woods a bugger could be just about anything. If you lost your wrench "Now where is that bugger?". If a puppy was cute "That's a cute little bugger". If you got a splinter "I need to get that bugger out."
Speaking of puppies, we're getting ours today....haven't had a dog in 5 years.
I just watched a 2019 episode of Running Wild with Bear Grylls where he takes celebrities out into survival situations. This one had actor/comedian Joel McHale. At the beginning McHale jumped into the open window of a wrecker, prompting Bear to mention him being a Dukes of Hazzard fan. Joel responded by mentioning Boss Hogg.....it's always fun to hear Dukes mentioned when not expecting it.
That would have been a really cool episode to see. I've been working pretty hard at getting next year's firewood supply cut because after April 23 I'm going to be a nurse. My wife is having rotator cuff surgery on her right shoulder and she's right handed so it's a good thing I'm retired and can take care of her. It's going to be a long recovery. Also, we're getting a puppy in a week and it's going to require care and training so that will keep me busy with my wife limited.
