Back on black and television, but I did see the first Beatles TV appearance on Ed Sullivan .... It was the beginning of the British invasion right before they importedtunes all the time.

Hidden Fence is the brand and it’s buried, we have had a few instances of the lawn people cutting it by accident, and they have accepted the responsibility for that and come back out to fix it. We have two cavalier king Charles spaniels, they only break through when we forget to put the electric collars on! LOL! they come and train the dog to the fence, first they put up white flags, so they have visual cues, and then audio cues [the collar beeps when they get close to it] and then finally the shock if they go through it. Our dogs have caught on really quickly and the only break outs have been if the battery died in the collar unbeknownst to us, or we forgot to put it on. Had a jack Russell originally and it worked for him too.

its been about 16 years or so that we had the fence installed, you can check for local providers, bc I think it's franchise based. We did pay to have him come out to train each dog as we got them.

PBS is forever importuning it’s viewers and the tax payer for more money that it doesn’t need.

For what seemed like the thousandth time I had barely sat down to my favorite rendition of Chopin when my next door neighbor, a certain woman named Mrs. Oppernockity, banged furiously on my apartment door.

"I'm terribly sorry to be importune," she whined as I threw open the door, "but your piano: It's in poor tune!"

The importunate grammarian found it impossible to let a misuse of "it's" go by...

Done with all my work including paperwork for the day-

Graham and the McCain loon
Will importune for more war
Pres Trump likely won’t hear
And won’t take things so far

What was needed with Syria
Was that shot across the bow
Informing all-Obama is gone
So deal with the big dog now

If Vlad had really interfered
With getting this pres to win
Would he have let Assad loose
Maybe risking his own skin?

Nemesis got off work early today and I am on his way back to the city-so I have a request for me to cook chicken picatta and stay over at his place-sounds good to me-so packing up the stuff to prepare that dish, a bag with my stuff, etc...
