A Cold Cold Winter

Friday.

It's cold this morning in Bogsville. The house is still heatless and it snowed yesterday. There was thick ice on the cars this morning and the friendly, local heating engineer isn't coming until this afternoon. What's the betting that he doesn't have the part with him and has to come back on Monday.

I'm waiting for news about dog. Yesterday was a bad day for dogs. He goes in for an X-Ray and ends up having a major operation to remove an abscess from one of his lungs and spends the night dosed on morphine. No wonder he was coughing. Trouble is I told him he could have a bone after the X-Ray and he hasn't come back. He won't believe anything I tell him again. Hope he's ok - it's very strange without him.

Anyone out there into acupuncture? Seems to me it's like every other alternative treatment - it just makes you feel better about whatever it is that you're doing that you shouldn't be doing in the first place.

And seeding - what's all that about? The only seeding I'm familiar with is grass seeding. I'm more into mowing and cutting and hacking - perhaps I should try the pins.

Dog's currently trying staples - an altogether more extreme treatment. Come to think of it stapling might be a quicker cure-all than acupuncture. Would drinkers drink if they had to have staples after a heavy session?

A propos nothing really - would you buy a drink off this man?

You asked for Lager?

I'm always spotting people who look familiar. Better book a pin cushion session.

Joe the CIA man is flying back to LA today - "coming in from the cold". He couldn't stand the pace in Bogsville - who can? The guy isn't East Coast at all unless Seattle has moved. Ve hav our vays of dicovering ze truth in Bogsville and your secrets are never safe vith us.

Hug a Teacher - can you believe this report from San Diego?

"A female teacher has accused a 17-year old male student of what I describe as inappropriate embracement. I agree the boy crossed the line because he didn't stop the first time she told him to, and grabbed her and hugged her again. That can be a scary situation for a woman, and there is also the added humiliation of having her authority as a teacher compromised. But should expulsion, or even suspension, be considered?"

Just like to point out Elaine that being hugged by a male student "can be a scary situation" - for anyone! I'd like all you loving people out in Murrieta to give Elaine Bellucci a really big Bogsville hug and don't take no for an answer - let's see how she reacts.

Heating is FIXED! The Lord be praised!

Bogsville warms up.
