Air Freshener HOOOAAH!

The other day, as my wife and I exited from a ramp on the interstate and pulled up to a light to turn left. I looked over into an SUV that had a few air fresheners hanging about inside. How many, you ask? Well, in the time that we waited, I counted at least 24; however I was unable to count accurately from the groups that were bunched together. I think it fair to guess there were possibly double what I had counted, but I can't be sure. Even 24 is too much. And different scents too, not all the same. Must have smelled like a ... well, I quite frankly don't know what could smell that pungent, except for maybe Sex Panther™. I hear it has a formidable scent.

Coolest Job Title In The World

Nazi Hunter. That's right, Nazi Hunter. Doesn't that just convey a feeling of real-life superheroism? Like "Vampire Hunter" or "Zombie Killer". I would even go so far as to say it is a legendary title to leave as a legacy (whoa alliteration alert!). In case you're wondering, I got the name from here: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=26346.

Mice With Plague Disappear

Well, they didn't just disappear, obviously they went somewhere. If you would like details on this story, feel free to read about Mice Infected With Bubonic Plague Missing. I know I would certainly like to know where they might have ended up.

Federal official said the mice may never be accounted for. Among other things, the rodents may have been stolen, eaten by other lab animals or just misplaced in a paperwork error.

Okay, um, maybe I'm being a little overcautious here, but shouldn't they be a little more careful with mice that are carrying the black plague? "Woops, I misplaced the three mice that had bubonic plague - now what?" "Umm, I dunno ... let's go home early?" Next time maybe they can just accidently replace sugar with Ebola virii, or replace flu shot medication with Spanish Flu. Or hell, just shoot us all, it's probably cheaper anyway. Seriously, come on.

What A Night

Nope I wasn't up partying all night - heck I wasn't even up not partying all night. I played around on the computer until about 1:00 a.m., and then decided I should go to bed so I would be ready for Friday (today!). After taking the dog outside for one last hurrah, I came back inside, got ready for bed, and crawled under the covers. Then the dog started whining, and whining, and whining, and just continued on. But this was no ordinary whine, this was one that would escalate the deeper I fell into sleep. When I would wake up, she would be quiet, but as I drifted off into sleep, she would whine louder and louder ... and then the aneurysms came, nearly. This is all on top of the fact that Kim had no voice left yesterday and she was already exhausted from a week of hard work. Long story short, I took her outside again at about 2 a.m., she did her business (again), and then I put her in her kennel in the spare room, where I also slept all night (on a couch, not in the kennel). I also threw pillows at her kennel every time she yelped and whined, for about a half hour until I finally slipped into a blissful coma. Woke up tired which is the worst feeling in the world as far as I'm concerned. Fed the dog, she was being super hyper which I just was not in the mood for so I did a lot of "NO!"-ing this morning. OH, and then, she peed on the floor which I had to clean up even though I was already running late for work. (I also got stopped by a flagger on my way to work while some construction workers did tasks that took entirely too long). I think the highlight of my morning was that our dog knows that if she pees on the floor, she gets swatted. But she remembers from back in her puppy days (one week ago) that if she pees on papers, she does not get swatted. So, she put these facts together in her dog brain, and ripped a bunch of toilet paper off the roll when I wasn't looking, arranged them into a pile in the middle of the floor, and peed on that. I mean, yeah, I have to consider that she tried to be clean, but I was still mad that she made peepee on my floorfloor.

Something You Should Always Remember About Puppies ...

Do NOT leave a puppy in a room with enough food and water to last it a week thinking that it will just eat when it's hungry - especially when said puppy is used to not eating much at the animal shelter because her brothers will not let her near food. Said puppy will NOT just eat when it is hungry. No. No it will not. Said puppy will eat all food, and drink all water, and proceed to create more puppy pee and puppy poo than is imaginable - even in worlds where puppies grow larger than dinosaurs and eat nothing but prunes. Feed puppies in moderation, or risk being woken up at 4:00 a.m. because you "smell something odd". Other than that first night, the puppy we brought home is great. She's cute, she's cuddly, and she farts a lot.

You Know What We Need?

Stricter laws on looting after a disaster. Minimum 20 years in prison, or shoot on site. It doesn't have to be any more complicated than that.
