Good 41ยบ morning. Burrr... Left windows open and this is the
first night that I haven't had the ceiling fan running all night in the bedroom.
Burrrrr... again. Maybe soon Fall will arrive!!!
Had a call from Aaron last night.... He said he has built a fire already in
the wood stove! Of course he's up in Montana. Last week Marie became a U.S.
Citizen! CONGRATULATIONS MARIE! Good for you, Sweetheart! xoxoxo
Throw Back Thursday ..... Clint Eastwood...
YUMMMMM
(Thanks Barry Perrou ...LASD ret...for this!)
I have this amazing animal loving friend, Cathy (LASD ret) who
found this baby bird in her horse's feed bucket. He has a broken wing and Cathy
has wrapped it up in hopes it will mend.
Cath... I think you should have been a veterinarian
instead...
She's also saved a blue jay... who is timid and won't
leave so she just stays with her. Another blue jay she rescued has flown off, but he returns and even flew inside her house not long ago!
Yesterday was our retired LE/Fire luncheon at the Grants Pass
Golf Club. A short speech was given by Josephine County Sheriff, Gil Gilbertson.
Such a nice man!!! He would like some of our retired guys/gals to volunteer, get
a badge, sworn, gun... as Reserves to work on cold cases. Josephine Co only has
2 deputies. The budget for the Sheriff's Dept was cut from over 4 million to
just over 1 million. Can't operate the jail either so have to pay Jackson Co to
use their jail. Sucks! The stupid Jo Co commissioners don't think having
deputies patrol is necessary. WHAAAAAAAAAA???????? What would they do if they
needed a cop???? At this point you won't get a deputy to respond unless it's
life threatening. All other crimes go on record if reported, but no response,
ergo... Reserves for free to help out. Several of our guys took the paperwork to
fill out for the job.
Lunch was buffet... green salad, pasta salad, rice, chicken, and
meatloaf.
Then I stopped at Brian's office. His former neighbor Vic had dropped off
two big boxes of kindling for me! How nice!!!!! Then to the
carwash...............
Then home, chores, wine, dinner, chair, and a movie... "My Best Friend's
Wedding" with Julia Roberts and Dermot Mulroney...

A sweet girl, dear friend, and great mom, Patty McNaughton
is celebrating her birthday today wayyyyy down deep in Texas!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PATTY!!
With her grandson Wesley.
This from my Seal Beach pal, Judy....
An old adage: 'A word to the wise is
sufficient.'
Because I care about you all, I'm warning friends and family
to stay away from highly populated areas a day or so ahead and after, and of
course on 9/11. I do not think the public is aware that there are 12 missing
Libyan airplanes. Have you read or heard the below? Why has the lame stream
media been so quiet about this?
Historically and birthdays today:
All I know. Happy TBT. Nuff said. Ciao.

September 4th
Newspaper Carrier Day is celebrated on September 4th
International
Newspaper Carrier Day is observed
on varying dates, and is established by the Newspaper Association of America.
This year: October 18, 2014.
Newspaper
Carrier Day honors everyone who is
now, or once was, a newspaper carrier. The list includes thousands, if not
millions, of people. Years ago, this job was primarily populated by kids, from
pre-teen through approximately sixteen. At that age, many, but not all, kids
moved to restaurant, grocery store and retail type of jobs.
About Newspaper Carrier Day:
This
day commemorates the hiring of the very first newspaper carrier. Newspaper
carriers date back to the early 1800s. On September 10, 1833, 10 year old Barney
Flaherty became the first newspaper carrier. Benjamin Day, publisher of The New York Sun, hired Barney
Flaherty to sell papers for his penny press. The only job requirement, was that
he had to show that he could throw a newspaper into the bushes.
Now,
few kids deliver papers anymore except in small towns. But, but the "Carrier
Day" tradition lives. This job is now largely held by adults, many of them
delivering the paper from their cars.
