The Bejeweled Clarinetist

Wildlife abounds

Jim and I were coming home from breakfast at Village Cafe with his parents when we saw a coyote running down the alley way behind their house. It was smaller than a medium-sized German Shepherd and running with that coyote kind of lilt. I didn't have a camera for that critter so here is news of another siting that Debby sent us.

"A fawn followed this beagle home -- right through the doggie door -- in the Bittinger, MD area. The owner came home to find the visitor had made himself right at home.  This Hit the 6 o'clock news big time.

Sure beat out the McCain/Obama  political news for a change." - from a recent e-mail thread.

Amelia is now 12 weeks old and starting to figure out the house training stuff. The cats and ol' Shelby, our 13 year old Shep luv the puppy to pieces. This is our third week with the wee beastie.  :o)

This in from New Zealand, you might want to take a closer look at these sheep, especially the feet and head. The wool is made from telephone cords.

Point to by cousin Erin. Thanks Erin!  :o)

In my experience these following laws are not only immutable but absolutely reproducible:

Law of Mechanical Repair
After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch and you'll have to pee.

Law of Gravity
Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.

Law of Probability
The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.

Law of Random Numbers
If you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal and someone always answers.

Law of the Alibi
If you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tire, the very next morning you will have a flat tire.

Variation Law
If you change lines (or traffic lanes), the one you were in will always move faster than the one you are in now (works every time).

Law of the  Bath
When the body is fully immersed in water, the telephone rings.

Law of Close Encounters

The probability of meeting someone you know increases dramatically when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with.

Law of the Result
When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, it will.

Law of Biomechanics
The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.

Law of the Theater
At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle arrive last.

The Starbucks Law
As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.

Murphy's Law of Lockers
If there are only two people in a locker room, they will have adjacent lockers.

Law of Physical Surfaces
The chances of an open-faced jelly sandwich landing face down on a floor covering are directly correlated to the newness and cost of the carpet/rug.

Law of Logical Argument
Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about.

Brown's Law of Physical Appearance
If the shoe fits, it's ugly.

Oliver's Law of Public Speaking
A closed mouth gathers no feet.

Wilson 's Law of Commercial Marketing Strategy
As soon as you find a product that you really like, they will stop making it.

Doctor' Law
If you don't feel well, make an appointment to go to the doctor, by the time you get there you'll feel better. Don't make an appointment and you'll stay sick.
