It’s a rainy, quiet Sunday morning ‘n by all rights, I should be sleeping...which is what I was doing ‘n I was doing a pretty good job of it too until Willie started walking all over me....Willie starts by nudging....just a little bit at first...but he’s impatient (young, y’know) ‘n if I don’t respond to a nudge, why he just starts walking on me ‘n when he gets up close t’my face, he begins pushing with his front paws....it’s a little surprising how much weight he can generate considering that he only weighs about 17 or so pounds....anyway I’ve learned from experience that he’s not one to give up....when I finally managed to sit up, I found Rusty sitting beside the bed staring at me...I guess he’s learned that if he wants t’go out, he should just tell Willie ‘n let him do the work of getting me to my feet.....
So there’s a steady drip, drip, drip from the porch roof but the short path to the side yard leads me into a maelstrom..well, maybe not a maelstrom but away from the house, the wind is blowing...feels so good when you first get out of bed to walk outside ‘n have the wind blow cold raindrops down your neck....ain’t quite like taking a cold shower, more like a faint mem’ry of a cold shower but just as effective when it comes to waking a body up....ah well, a little coffee, a piece of toast ...’n the Sacramento Bee which recently sent me a notice that they were going to start charging extra for their Holiday Editions...”Hellfire!” As my old Dad use’ta say, I don’t think it’s worth the regular price they’re charging now but that’s pretty much the ‘liberal’ point of view on how business works anyway....provide less, charge more ‘n blame the public for not understanding the message......
I’m just sayin’.....
