… but you’ll take what I dish out, and like it!
Between mowing, trying to finish cleaning*, cleaning the household blasters and feeding Patrol Donkey and Sentry Goose**, it’s hard to find the time to scribble. But I do have to comment on this video. My comment is– these people vote; maybe we should rethink that whole universal franchise thing?
* I have books everywhere. Because I have no book-case built yet. But to clean everything else, I need to move the books.
** The neighbor’s farm went belly-up, and he sold everything but one donkey and his geese. Donkeys dislike being alone, so Jake promptly figured out how to get out and began wandering the area. He makes an excellent night watchman with his partner, the sole surviving goose. (Oddly enough, a Chinese goose, not a Cotton Patch goose, even though he does weed… and Cotton Patch geese are rare now?) Some people hire a security company– I use nature’s own intruder alarm.

Back when I was young, I read a book about the founding and the first centuries of Rome. Rome was not liked very much in the area so they were constantly on the alert for attacks. One night after a big party, the sentries and their dogs promptly fell asleep. Another city/state was waiting for an opportunity like this and tried to sneak in by the market area. Geese that were ready to be sold the next day raised so much hell that everybody woke up, took arms a repealed the invaders. After the confrontation, the sentries and dogs were executed and the geese were positioned in all the entrances of Rome. They rated their own temple too.

Heh. Too bad Sentry Goose fell asleep on the job… he became a bobcat’s midnight snack.
