Today's events

It is official, I'm in hell otherwise known as ragweed season. Then the TV says the temperature is 90, heat index 103, and my thermometer says 106. I turned on the AC to rid the humidity and relieve some of the allergies. I took a shower right before taking my cats outside and came back inside an hour later with soaking wet hair from the sweat.

Anyway, outside Frodo caught a bird. It landed on a neighbor's bird feeder and Frodo jumped at it. It flew over to the sidewalk by the hand rail and rested in the grass. Frodo caught it. He carried around showing me and Precious his trophy for a couple minutes before setting it down. He growled when it didn't move and pawed at it. He picked up a wing with his paw and whined that it wasn't moving. I thought it was dead since it didn't move, but soon it fluttered and Frodo attacked. It remained still and fluttered again to have Frodo carry it around in his mouth another minute. I decided to save the bird, Frodo just wanted a toy not a meal. Frodo took it away from my reach and finally relented to me touching his trophy. I picked it up and its claws rubbed against my palm. It breathed hard and turned its head. I placed it on a tree branch and Frodo looked at me wide-eyed taking away his toy. On the branch, the bird did not move and Frodo arched his back for petting. We finished our walk and went back inside. I checked the bird still motionless on the branch breathing hard. It was brown on top with white underneath so it blended into the tree bark well, it will be okay once it figures out it another day of life to live.

I'm enjoying my days off lying on the couch watching TV. Republican Straw Poll in Ames, State Fair, Knoxville Sprint Car Races, Indianola Balloon Races all happening close in proximity makes a lot of customers wanting cars at the same time. Had John Edwards Campaign people thinking they had 3 vans reserved. Nope, not on the list. Let's fix that right now. No, don't have any vans or cars available. If they had gotten a reservation from the reservation line they would have gotten a suv or caddie cause we are sold out even for famous people's groupies. They keep coming back not understanding they don't have a reservation for 3 vans, and they don't have a reservation number to look up to prove that they do. Then they come back again asking if the credit card was the problem. No, they are not on the reservation manifest, therefore they don't get a car. People are so much fun.

So has anyone seen the new Wendy's commerical with the chicken driving a car and the police in an alley chases the car, and after almost getting squished by a truck, chicken stops the car. The cop comes out with a red hair wig. Then chicken dishes sold at Wendy's. The chicken was escaping from Wendy's. I thought it was cute. Post later. Bye!
