SCREWED

It's 7:02 a.m. and the sun just came up and Patrick switched beds as soon as I got up. Junior is asleep--he is trying to adjust his sleeping pattern so as to be awake during daylight for summer activities.

Well LOST screwed me--all primed for a new episode, all I got was a recap show. But that's OK--It's hard to remember all the various sub-plots and where we're at--especially when I missed the episode when they captured Henry because our local network "affiliate" and I use the term loosely, decided to pre-empt it and air some junior high school chess tournament or something equally stupid.

Aldi, our local help yourself from the box discount grocery store closes this week, so they can pull a Wal*Mart--tear down the building and build a new one. So now I'll be paying 50% to 150% more for the EXACT same food for the next four months. I've stocked up as much as practical.

One of the things I like about Aldi's is that the check out gals are super fast. It's part of Aldi's mission, I guess. They do the EXACT same thing as the checkers at the other full service chains, so I don't know why the full service store gals have to be so SLOOOOOWWWWW. A four minute linewait at Aldi's would literally be 15 minutes at Kroger's...(no exageration).

While we're on the subject of retail--Both our local Wal*Marts stopped stocking the big dogs' Garlic pills--so I stopped at our local pet store --NOTHING!! Not even dog vitamins!! There's a mom and pop I think should be killed by Wal*Mart... Guess I'll have to go to the dog supermarket in the BIG BIG city...Rats!!

Speaking of the Big dogs, Nick has turned 13, but he's still pretty spry, so I'm going to take him on a road trip for his birthday. So, he's 72 in dog years.

The damned grass is growing exponentially and needs trimming again--how can I afford gas to mow? Woe is me!!

STOP THE BABY MURDERS!!

SEAL THE BORDERS!!

KILL THE TERRORISTS!!

STOP SPURIER IN THE SWAMP!!
