Hair; yes, it's quiet, a short walk and got some more fish wrap (aka KC Star) for the coupons, travel and auto sections.

We walked daily for a couple of years before we got Samantha, and will continue. We find it relaxing and healthful, and much easier and far cheaper than a gym membership, all that is needed is good pair of shoes. :-)

Our "shire" takes about an hour to walk per quadrant. It's only a small part of the city now, having grown from 16,000 to 70,000 in the 27 years we've lived here.

Mornin'

OBM, LSA, I got up thinkin' of ya'll this mornin' too when I put Smeagol out. She's had some extra special treats here since your news yesterday. My heart just works that way. Think I've said before that she's one who got rescued from miscreants who abused her.

I suppose I'm just too soft a touch for anybody that's been mistreated and hurt. I woulda never picked a little dog myself, but a friend rescued Smeagol. She didn't get along at all with my friend's 4 other dogs and needed to be an "only." On top of that Myranda just fell in love with her at first sight. She's quite a disagreeable brat at times (said with all kinds of affection.) She came to us with a different name. I named her Smeagol cause of the personality. She answers to it. (as well as Fruit Loop and the original name!) I don't know her age but I know she's getting on up there. She'll be well taken care of for the rest of her days too though.

KANSAS CITY STAR

Got a letter just this mornin' it was postmarked Omaha
It was typed and neatly written offerin' me this better job
Better job at higher wages, expenses paid and a car
But I'm on TV here locally and I can't quit, I'm a star

Hah-ha I come on the TV a-grinnin,' wearin' pistols and a hat
It's a kiddy show and I'm a hero of the younger set
I'm the number one attraction at every supermarket parkin' lot
I'm the king of Kansas City, no thanks, Omaha, thanks a lot

Kansas City star, that's what I are
Yodel-leedle lay-dee, you oughta see my car
I drive a big old Cadillac with wire wheels,
Got rhinestones on the spokes
I got credit down at the grocery store
And my barber tells me jokes
I'm the number one attraction at every supermarket parkin' lot
I'm the king of Kansas City, no thanks to Omaha, thanks a lot
