Crazy Dude! He does this when I'm not looking... and then he squints his eyes ... I think to make it appear he's smaller, in his mind! I had a collie, Lucy, who thought she was a lap dog and would squint her eyes too! Funny.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok, I continue my campaign to get friends and family to quit smoking. It's killing you!   Cigarette smoking causes about 1 in every 5 deaths in the United States each year. It's the main preventable cause of death and illness in the United States.
Smoking harms nearly every organ in the body, including the heart, blood vessels, lungs, eyes, mouth, reproductive organs, bones, bladder, and digestive organs. On top of that, why do you want to smell like an ashtray?????? ICK.

How about this scoot, guys?? A 14 cylinder radial engine. WOW!

 

Yesterday we were out early, 8:30 (early for me!) and Dude had his run then I mowed the grass, front and back, fixed a sprinkler, watered, filled water tubs for the wild critters... I have 3. The gray squirrels, deer, wild turkeys, and a variety of birds partake of the water. Came in too cool off. Was 81º by 10am. Stayed in the rest of the day except for moving the sprinklers around the yard and running to town to mail a card at the PO. At 2pm it was 97º.

The Oregon Department of Forestry and its sister agencies in the other western states routinely share firefighting resources as needed.

All the fires in our area are under control now.

Rice A Roni Salad ~ The Call ~ Picture of the Day

Good 54º gonna be another hot one morning. 92º and will be hotter today. Need to mow so will do that when done with the blog.

Dinner last night was a "Rice A Roni" salad... Cook the Rice A Roni and let it cool. Cut up celery, carrots, sweet peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, shallots, 2 chicken thighs, and mix it all up, add fresh crispy lettuce, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise mixed with a little lemon and some Worcestershire sauce, sea salt and pepper. Thanks Jeannie for the idea!!!!

 

 

 

"The Call" with  Halle Berry... Abagail Breslin...

Most of the film seemed to be shot in the dark. Hard to see. I hate those kinds of films. Halle was an LAPD 911 Operator. Why is she the best manicured operator in the building? The rest are somewhat plausible. So a young girl gets kidnapped. Apparently Halle is the only one who can talk to the girl... no hostage negotiators avail? The end of the movie is just TOO WEIRD... Halle goes after the girl (no weapon...just a flashlight...), finding her and her captor. The police can't? Then the end is just not up to snuff. COME ON! I didn't like it. Waste of time and money. I do know something about 911. This movie gets an F.
