Military Dogs ~ Dallas Memorial ~ Tom Selleck ~ Dude and Bruiser

Good 54º clear sunny morning. Hit 83º yesterday.

Ok, get out your Kleenex and watch this video...

Yesterday the memorial service in Dallas was held for the 5 policemen who lost their lives.

It was streaming live on ABC news and I watched it on my computer. When something was said by the Dallas Mayor about President Ovamit speaking, the two officers to President Bush's left rolled their eyes. LOL.

When Ovamits, Bushs, and Bidens all lined up in front of their chairs and greeted each other, Moochelle KISSED GW!! Huh???????????

Then when President Bush was introduced the two police on his left looked overjoyed! While Ovamit spoke they looked bored. Until he started talking about how "black Americans" feel like the police are against them and are prejudiced. And he even shortly eulogized the latest two black men shot by police! WTF?????? What a crock!

I love Tom Selleck.

I have always loved Tom Selleck. I never missed a Magnum PI episode or a Jesse Stone or a Blue Bloods. I even watch the old episodes of Blue Bloods. What is good about Tom is that he is God loving and a good good person and conservative and caring. Not like most of Hollyweird! This is a truly neat story about Tom:

.....LOL, it used to be a make-out spot up there next to the sign for me and a certain boyfriend of mine...he had a black 1949 Ford and his name was Mike (that's all you get, Wilsonites!) You can't drive up there now. It's blocked off. But, what a view it was!!!

   Yummmy Yummmmy Yummmmmmmy!!!

Dude was laying in the living room and Bruiser came and laid next to him with his paws on Dude's paws. See the look of terror in Dude's eyes! I keep telling him that Bruiser loves him and wants to just play.... not hurt him!

I hope you have a good day today. It took 2 hours for me to get this computer straightened out and working. I think it's the WiFi. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......... Now to get chores done.

All I know. Nuff said. Happy Hump Day.

More Clouds ~ Joe Terror ~ Dave & Nancy Perry ~ President Rankings ~ Different Colored Eyes

Good 53º cloudy morning.

In the morning some clouds yesterday ..

Then they all went away. We topped out at 83º.

 

 

Yesterday a quick run into town to ship some LLBean slippers back to them. I normally buy these clogs..  

because they are so comfortable, has an outdoor sole, and lasts forever.   But decided to try these mocs....

Unfortunately they were too tight. So sent them back (UPS pre-paid) and asked them to send me the next size up. They were tight but comfortable with the same shearling soft comfy lining....

 

Then a stop at the ATM and home.

 

Breakfast was two eggs cooked in the microwave in a porcelain dish with a saucer on top. Puncture the yolk with a sharp knife, I sprinkled on bacon salt/pepper, cook on high for 1+ minutes. Mine were 1 min 30 seconds. Cut up an avocado and topped with pomegranate mayo.

OMGOOOD! No calories in that mayonnaise ( http://www.waldenfarms.com/products/flavoredmayo.html ) and avocado is really good for you~!

 

Then lunch was low fat cottage cheese, fresh mozzarella balls, mozzarella stick, and an apple.

 

Today is high school friend, Joe Terror's birthday. Joe the husband of friend since Kindergarten, Linda Watterlond.  Glad you're catching up Joe!!! Hope you have a great day!!!

 

Today is also pals Nancy and Dave Perry's anniversary. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY kids!!! xo

Excellent research by a fine institution.

 

 

From a total of 44 U.S. Presidents, Obama has been rated as the 5th best, according to a study completed at Texas A&M University. The Public Relations Office at A&M released this statement:

 

"After almost 8 years in office, American academics have rated President Obama the 5th Best President in American History".

 

These are the results according to Texas A&M:

 

1. Lincoln and Reagan and Truman tied for first place

 

2. Sixteen Presidents tied for second place

 

3. Twenty-three other Presidents tied for third place

 

4. Jimmy Carter came in fourth, and ...

 

5. Obama was fifth

Different Colored Eyes Day

 

Different Colored Eyes Day has two reasons to celebrate.  First of all, it celebrates diversity of eye color. Wouldn't the world be boring, if everyone had the same color of eyes?

 

Secondly, it recognizes an eye condition called Heterochromia. People who have this trait,  have two different colors of eyes. One eye may be brown, while the other is blue.  Famous people who have Heterochromia include David Bowie, Jane Seymour, and Christopher Walken.

 

Your eyes are an important part of your appearance. They are also important in communications. When you look into your lover's eyes, you need to like what you see. Making "eye contact" just wouldn't be the same without different colored eye. Isn't it great that we have a variety of eye colors to set us apart from one another?

 

Eye colors include:

Shades of brown

Shades of blue

Shades of green

Black

Gray

Hazel

 

Celebrate Different Colored Eyes Day by taking particular notice of the eye colors of everyone you see.
