Good 35º gloomy foggy morning.
Happy Groundhog Day. (Whoopppeee)
PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. (AP) - An end to winter's bitter cold will come soon,
according to Pennsylvania's famous groundhog.
What a special day today is... my friends John & Trish Bowler (John ret
LASD...he worked at ELA when I was there... super guy!) are celebrating their
50th wedding anniversary.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY KIDS!!! You have done it all... worked hard, raised 4
boys, and now are grandparents to a darling young Matthew, son of JJ...
and sweet baby girl Isabella,
Life has been good for you. I am happy you can celebrate this milestone! I
raise my glass to you. xo
.... and I took this off Trish's FB page... what a HOOT!!!!
Yesterday the All Natural Pest Control guy showed up early. Yeah. Jeff.
Nice. Raised in Auburn Ca. Likes cars. Loves Escalades! He set a bait trap in
the carport. I will check on it. After I posted about the critters I got a phone
call from an old friend, Barry Perrou (LASD ret) who told me about his neighbor
having a similar problem. He had his car fixed and then sprayed WD40 in the
engine compartment. No more problems with rats chewing wiring. So.... I opened
the hood when Jeff was here, telling about this. After just one night there was
a residue of acorns on a flat spot under the hood. Also rat/mouse turds. Swell.
I sprayed the WD40 in a number of places, not on the engine or wiring where it
would get hot. Apparently the critters don't like the smell of the WD40. I hope!
We'll see today if there are any more footprints or acorn residue or if the bait
has been gnawed on. Thanks Barry!

....In a Huffington Post story published on September 3, 2009 it was
stated that: "Lee Redmond, who lost the fingernails in February, says it's now
much easier to do things and her hands seem to fly with the weight of the nails
gone. The 68-year-old won't grow her nails out again, saying it took 30 years
the first time and she may not live for another 30." Her nails are currently
about four inches long, however.
I like her show. Good food!
Maggie and I took a ride down to PJ & Dave's to feed the fish... he has
a million of them!
Well, not quite a million, but a LOT! Fixed the netting so it wasn't laying
on top of the water and all were happy they could reach the food without me
standing there and holding it up!
Brian called yesterday, he was out picking up rolls for sandwiches for his
SB party. The guy he gets them from also gave him some "jalapeño bacon"! OMG.
That started my drool button! Can't wait to try it!!! Found this:
