Damn Frank, that's not a good place. Gary was thinking you'd be down at the G20 meeting. Hope it all goes well for you.

I got another levain culture going...so here is some Pain de Champagne.

I also officially signed my contract in my new school district today.

I like bread

 

[vintagesnaps]

Yay, Jon, it's official!

I wondered too if the rioting was because of a certain person being in the house, but they're saying it's people protesting the summit. Of course trouble makers show up too... when everybody's in summer clothes you know the ones in all black and hoodies are up to no good. Hope it doesn't get any more out of hand.

Meanwhile I have 'homework' I should be doing but probably I'll just watch the Hitchcock movies I recorded overnight.

 

[vintagesnaps]

Whatever you're in for Frank I hope you're better soon.

Not much in fireworks here, Labor Day is the big weekend for those. But yeah, local radio stations being bought out and no longer locally owned has meant for a disappointing soundtrack... was better last summer at least. Mostly Tuesday were firecrackers and loud bangs & booms provided by what people went across state lines to buy.

Good luck, dear Angela. You do not have an easy job between the big egos and the big anti everything people...

Town In Italy Switches To Silent Fireworks To Reduce Anxiety In Animals - Dogtime

The neighbor behind us has suddenly decided that he would quite shooting his illegal firework until late at night. Local laws prohibit any of the exploding kind as well as anything that goes over 6 feet in the air. Basically smoke bombs, fountains and sparklers are all that are allowed. Out in the county a different story. Simple rule, shoot em where you buy em. Also the law says fireworks end at midnight

Neighbor decided to shoot off his very illegal class B crap late into the night, well past midnight At 4:30 a.m. I rang his doorbell, he came to the door a bit perplexed, a bit perturbed and a bit sleepy. I proceeded to profusely thank him for shooting off his illegal fireworks at all hours of the night. He did as I expected and asked me "Who the Hell I thought I was." I proceeded to explain to him exactly who I was and went on to explain what the law is. During the explanation the words search warrant, & unlicensed possession of class B fireworks brought him fully awake. I then left him to dwell on the situation.

He caught up with me today and apologized and assured me that he would not shot them off again. I think that when he got with his supplier, who had to be a licensed fireworks purveyor, that person explained to him that the neighbors actions placed his license in sever jeopardy. Will see what happens next year.

Yeah, I hate rude neighbors. A few months ago, 2:30 a.m. Gary got fed up with a live band, (mostly brass and drums), on a weekday, playing in the back of a pick-up parked at curbside in front of the party house. Gary the Grinch shuffled through beer cans to find the owner. As Gary explained that most people needed their sleep, the homeowner claimed it was the last song. As Gary shuffled in his pj's home, the band struck up another song ... Gary turned towards the party and lighted up his phone. Needless to say, the music died.

FYI- Yesterday, The Cook had an appointment with The Vet for her sudden deafness. The Vet was surprised it took 14 years for her to go deaf and everything was normal. Gary described the suddenness of hearing loss, and the Vet replied that the ears don't go at the same time. Therefore, she was most likely running on one ear for a spell, which accounts for the slow drop-off of hearing. Then, her second ear went accounting for the sudden deafness. On the flip side, he thought Cook was in great shape and whatever we were doing to continue. Fortunately, most of Gary's verbal commands/instructions to Cook were accompanied by handsigns ... so we pretty high on the visual communications learning curve.
