Weather

Weather in the land of enchantment is always changing. We have had several days of horrible winds, but today the wind was followed by a nice, cooling drizzle.

Cars

I see all those horrible photos on the news channel that are taken of the car wrecks, and I am thankfull that so far I have never been in a bad one. Then I watch the car races on TV. They have wrecks just has bad and very seldom does a driver get injured, let alone killed. If the race cars can be made that safe why can't the average cars we are expected to drive be made safer? I know a lot of it has to do with the seat and harness and what the driver wears, but I would think that just the addition of a good roll bar would save many lives.

Dirty Dog

I finally convinced myself that I had to buy a carpet shampoo machine and clean the carpet. So I did. Well it came out better than I expected. It had been several years since it had been done and I was pleased with the results even if the cleaner did make he have a few extra algeries for a few hours. But - Tuffee dog, my Border Collie must have been displeased with the clean carpet. She went out found a nice fresh pile of horse poop to roll in and then came back in the house. Needless to say Tuffee got a bath.
