The daily news
So okay. We’ve turned up the heat, fed the dogs, made the coffee. Now let’s take a look at the morning paper, shall we?

The lead article is about a drunk driver who rammed into the wastewater pumping station. I know where I hope some of the sewage landed.

I don’t know. Somehow seems like “a stone’s throw” is a little lacking in hyperbole to describe a boulder of that size. Sorry about the tooth marks in this pix … the littlest dog brought the paper in this morning.

Care to guess what this headline is about? Here’s a hint: Woof! And now the actual article lead:

The remains mean bones, folks. If First People remains are found along the waterfront, then building is curtailed. Is anyone surprised that companies would deny access to the sniffer dogs? So how come the city fathers (and mothers) didn’t realize it before they paid $19,000 to the California sniffers to come up here and be rejected?
Did somebody say Dog Patch?
The best news of all is that the days are now getting longer again … there’s always room for a little more sun on the back nine. Hope all the rest of the news is good in your corner of the world.
