So the wife is getting a new dog, a Cavapoo, to be exact. This puppy is so smart and supposed to be so special it doesn’t require any training of any kind. The only thing is, it is suggested that there should be no "bad" training. I am not sure what they mean by bad training, but it was inferred to not feed the dog at the dinner table. It was also inferred to not get the dog too excited after it eats because it could have digestive issues. It was also inferred the dog should not shower with us, nor chase the mailman, nor watch violent movies, and last of all to not let the dog eat ice cream. Oddly enough when these rules were put in place at the dinner table everyone was staring at me.

Ok, so my solution to the pineapple cans may not have been the best solution. I just went ahead and bought him a dozen cans of pineapple. These are chunks by the way, which are on sale and have been, at Food Max. Now when I look anywhere I either see an empty can or a lid. On the shelf in the pantry, empties. On the back lawn, empties. Behind the ac units, many empties. In the pile of leaves, empties and lids. I am kind of afraid to look on the roof, but I know what I will find if I look under the deck.

So, besides the fact I got sued this week by someone who claims their chair collapsed underneath them (something cut the cord to the surveillance camera the morning before she fell), besides the fact that I had to close Taylors again because my manager’s roommate tested positive for COVID (my manager tested negative), and besides the fact that the SMUD transformer went bad in front of Country Waffles which caused us to lose power and we had to throw everything in the refrigerators away, I had kind of a boring week. What about you?
Folks we need to start taking this Delta variant seriously. It is affecting young people like never before and it is so much more transmissible. Please wear your mask into the restaurant until you are seated. If you can, please ask to be seated outside. I am afraid unless everyone gets vaccinated soon and and people stop wearing masks this could blow up in our face.
Thank you.

I think the pet rattlesnake was a success. The chickens were getting tired of the rats out in the chicken coop and stopped laying eggs, or at least stopped laying eggs there. With the rattle snake I got more eggs than I had gotten in a year. Unfortunately, the snake moved on and chickens stopped laying eggs again.
We did finally catch the rat inside. He or she had been running on the kitchen counter and had gotten into the bread box. So my exterminator guy put bread on the trap and it worked. We are now rat-less inside and rattlesnake-less outside. Kind of a dull world.
I want to thank everyone who came to the spaghetti feed to help wildfire victims. With your help we raised $5000. Channel 3 and Channel 40 came out and did a story on it as well.
Thanks again.
Through COVID, Fires, Smoke and Drought, we must stick together.
