Oregonian Saviors
We got a new dog, Lily . Great dog, 9 years old. Black and big and the sweetest most well behaved dog I ever owned, no kidding, hands down. So we have a route we go on every morning, about 5:30 or later now the suns moving towards fall.
I make her wait until I see all the bats go in the attic, I won't miss it. They have a protocol, only one can go in at a time so they all line up,not in a line we would be in, in a bat line. They all swoop around and one at a time, never touching each other or anything else then
all of a sudden one grabs on with it's bat toes and disappears in the crack there in the facia.
The fucking Air Force is lame next to these guys I'm telling you.
So anyway,we walk up behind the local high school,there's a big green football field which I keep her off of, imagine a dog that can learn to stay off the green grass for gods sake, but she does.
I played football and I can only imagine getting tackled, which is bad enough, and landing in dogshit.
She gets to piss on the goalposts, but only because others went there before her and it's a powerful dog thing, pissing where the other dog did and I don't want to ruin her.
If you hit the goalpost, the dog piss isn't going to matter, you'd have much bigger issues to handle than that
This morning there are a couple of kids, the big brother maybe 7 or 8 and his little sister about maybe 5, they like the dog, he's got a styrofoam airplane he's been working on and he asks me if I'll help.
"Well, yeah. Sure." He hands it over and since you can't miss this fucking thing around my neck right now he asks me looking the machinery over,
"Did the Ebolas get you?"
I been around kids, so I know better than to laugh, he's serious as a drowning surfer.
"What makes you think they got me"?, I ask him, being cagey.
"I heard my mom and dad talking that they're coming and will probably get almost everyone."
I took a minute then I told him "I heard on the news the governor got a deal they won't come to Oregon, so don't worry."
"Thats good, will you tell my sister?" I did that.
We got the plane up and me and Lily went home. We saved Oregon.
We did, we saved Oregon.
No charge,motherfuckers

The Ebolas. Sounds like a Mexican wrestling tag team sponsored by a death squad. The way the kid was talking.
ReplyDeleteWell. A UK volunteer was airlifted back here to be treated last week after he contracted the virus. He fared considerably better than those he was treating "in situ", so we had better believe there's a serious price tag on improving on those long odds. There was much debate as to whether it was ethical that the tax-payer foot the bill, in fact. Meanwhile there is considerably less speculation as to why there are fivefold as many psychopaths employed in the finance sector as in other "respectable" occupation.
If they can cover invading the Falklands they can cover the UK Volunteers
ReplyDeleteThe press may have been embellishing the populace's anti-ness.
That guy is a real hero, the volunteer, not Ruperts army
Oh, absolutely.
ReplyDeleteBut. I did find it interesting that sections of the media - Murdoch's empire or otherwise - found it fitting to question those costs involved. To play Devil's Advocate to generate controversy.
Yeah, youre right. Insurance for the next days headlines. Today we'll "find out" his mother was into something in the seventies and his dads a little wanker with a gambling jones.
