Good 32º cloudy/foggy morning.
Weather was strange yesterday. Some sun off and on, some rain, hail storm,
and snow on the tip top of the mountains and down in Medford! Pictures of my mountain
and the roads in Medford:
The prediction was snow on the valley floor from 800' up and I am at 1200',
but it didn't happen. The snow hit Ashland and into No. Cal...
Throw Back Thursday....
Pictures I took in 1955 with my little Brownie camera out each window of
the Washington Monument in DC:
The monument is 555 feet tall with 50 flights of stairs, that we climbed to
the top! There is an elevator in it now, but it's closed until about 2019
because of safety problems.
Yesterday I ran more errands into Grants Pass. Needed to drop
off stuff to Brian, get a couple groceries at Safeway. In Safeway there is a
Starbucks and one of the gals was walking around the store handing out free
samples. Apparently this is called an Iced Frappuccino. I don't ever buy from
coffee stands, but this was GOOD! It was so cold and almost like a malt with
whipped cream on top! Picture is deceiving, the "glass" was the size of a shot
glass...
Also when I came out of Safeway there was a young GP cop
walking by
and I guess I had that look like I wanted to say something. He
stopped and said hi to me. I told him I was grateful for him and his job and
told him where I had worked. He asked me some questions. Then I mentioned the
slain Whittier officer. He said yes he read about that. We discussed it. I shook his hand and
said "God willing you will stay safe". Nice guy. I think we both enjoyed out
chat.

International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day
International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day is a day for the dogs. And,
that's because there is no one else who can really appreciate the true value of
a dog biscuit. They say "Every dog has his day". And, it will definitely be his
day,when you give him some tasty dog biscuits.
You might appreciate their value in pleasing your dog, as a reward for
behavior, or enticing them to do a trick. But, the dog is the recipient of the
treat.
Celebrate today by giving your dog a few dog
biscuits.
