Miss Maggie has returned from the first class of her second course at spcaLA. Two dogs were kicked out of the class, day one.

Sadie Mae gave me a scare this morning. She took off on her morning streak around the Long Leaf Pine trees. I was preoccupied, and not paying attention like I should have, so one minute I had her in sight, the next she was GONE, disappeared completely. Despite screaming her name with a couple of expletives attached, she was nowhere to be seen. Some other sense told me to turn around, and there she was sitting patiently behind me giving me that "WHAT" now look. I hate when she does that.

I think they do things like that just to toy with us.

Miss Maggie does that, even in the house she disappears then reappears somewhere else and we wonder how does she do that ... ? She does it so often we often call Maggie the Ghost Dog.

My mom's last dog, a labradoodle, got kicked out of her class on the first day. My mother was aghast - she's had many dogs over time and faithfully takes each of them through some kind of obedience training or other, depending on where she's lived. It ticked her off so much she called to make a plea for another chance - got back in and put that dog through her paces to where she ended up at the top of the class.

That dog was a royal PITA, training or no training - I never could warm up to her. She developed diabetes and didn't live to a ripe old age - unfortunate, of course, and I'm glad she didn't suffer. I just don't have much use for such a hyper breed.

My rambling point is that sometimes if a dog gets another chance, they'll get used to the mayhem and do well.

One pooch, the Yorker, was a barker. She bark loudly, nonstop and nobody could hear the instructor (including the instructor). When the owner were asked to leave, they sorta complained that the barking was why they were in the class. Kinda sad. The second explosion was terrifying ... this giant German Shepard came roaring into the room, jaws snapping in all directions, the paws running in place all over vinyl flooring, the owner holding onto the outstretched leash with gloved hands and the dog uncontrolably slamming into the seating that was along the walls.

Both these dogs needed private lessons.

Mary Lou and Gary watched Black Panther. We both enjoyed the movie. There were a couple of parts which seemed too over the top even for a comic book ... but all-in-all, if you enjoy Marvel movies, Black Panther will not disappoint.

Have not seen it yet but hope to this weekend. I love the Marvel movies - the most recent Thor/Hulk movie was so entertaining! I liked some of the DC movies but have been disappointed in those more often than not lately.

I was trying to get to Jumanji before BP but I missed it and now it's On Demand already! to buy for $19.99, not available for rent yet. But still $20 for a movie for 2 with your own snacks and a comfy couch is not bad.

I like to be precise

A ruler that measures in 1/5 of an inch, isn't that like 3.2 16ths? That's pretty precise. Was that in just one spot or did you measure several spots and take an average

Oh dang, so much for being precise! I meant to write 16 1/2. Or 16.5. I mixed them up.

Star Trek. Amazing what they could do back then.

I’m still waiting for the jet pack Popular Mechanics promised we would all have. BTW, you may find the book, The Physics of Star Trek, by the physicist Lawrence Krauss an interesting read.

I remember when my late, and sorely missed, beagle Toby decided that a snow storm was the perfect time to find a way under our backyard fence and go for a ramble. He was almost all white due to his age, and deaf. We did some frantic searching and pointless yelling as the snow covered his tracks. What a sense of relief when a neighbor down the street yelled to us that Toby had stopped to visit him while he was shoveling.

Picked up my new glasses and don’t really like them. Will post pics later for you to opine.

New glasses are never perfect at the start.
I couldn't function without my line less tri optics.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. It is beginning to sprinkle ... rain is projected across most of the day. Miss Maggie and Gary are up. Mary Lou is in bed reading the news on her phone. This is Dim Sum Saturday in Monterey Park, with Dr. Tom and Lord know who else may show up. Then off to Newport Beach. Roger's Nursery is having a tomato sale today. Time to prepare Maggie's banana and yogurt breakfast. Later.

At least you can see them, so you're halfway there. LOL
