~ More Chickens ~ More Rain ~ Doctor's Day ~









Good  46º cloudy morning.           
  



















I looked up full grown naked neck chickens
and came up with...




How pathetic!
No wonder David didn't want them.
On the other hand, they are interesting little guys.

Rain and more rain...
ALL day yesterday!








Total was 
 3/4".



 Today there is no radar..












And the forecast is for sun ..










Yesterday after I piddled around and did a few chores
I sat and read a book. "Oogy" is the title, written by
Larry Levin.













It is the kind of book that as you read along, you just smile ... often.
A pup that had been a 'bait dog' for dog fighting. Interestingly enough, everyone thought he was a pit bull. Not. He's a Dogo, an Argentine Mastiff. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogo_Argentino


This dog was bred for big-game hunting. They are used also by the military and as search and rescue dogs.
Great story. Get the book.

Historically this date...
1842Anesthesia is used for the first time, in an operation by Dr. Crawford Long.
    (... and the beeeoootch I shared and office with at CF Braun, Patsy Paige, made a horrible remark when I told her the President had been shot .."He deserved it", she said !!!
Of course not to mention that she was lazy, expected pay for not doing a thing, ghetto born and bred ... Oh, and she was extremely prejudicial!)


 
And births this date include....
1853Vincent van Gogh, Dutch painter (d. 1890)








1913 – Frankie Laine, American singer (d. 2007)




1930John Astin, American actor

God bless the heroic individuals who surrounded President Reagan when "the idiot" surfaced.

Van Gough. I din't fully appreciate his work until an exhibition of his work surrounded by his contemporaries happened to be showing at the museum I was at. Then I learned, great art is like great love. It is one thing to read about it. Quite another to actually experience it.

I think two of my favorite painters are Van Gogh and Monet. You are right about experiencing it. Thanks L.

Sue,

I never much cared for Van Gogh. In art class at Parnell we were taught the history of art. I was turned off my his mental state and cutting off his ear to impress a woman! Lordy! Guess he just gave me the creeps.

Mule Train clippity cloping along! Loved Frankie Lane! Also his last name is my middle name.:)
Happy birthday to my favorite singer, Celine!

Hugs, Trisha
