Dogs

My dogs have lost their minds today, I do not know if it is the relatively nice weather outside or cabin fever but the boy dogs have peed on everything in sight and the girl dogs run around like they have lost their minds. I love my dogs and will do my best to see that they are cared for and loved every day of their lives, but days like today make that mission very rough. Let us hope that tomorrow brings a better day for all of us.

Now a fire truck is going by and that is the one thing that all five of them will lose their minds and bark at like there is no tomorrow. OH MY!

11-1

The best football team in the AFC is right here in Nashville Tennessee, the Tennessee Titans have run their record to 11-1 with their pasting of the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day. I know that the Lions are perhaps the worst team ever to play professional football, the only team with a chance to claim the title of the worst pro team ever is the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers who failed to win a game, and their coach John McKay, when ask about the execution of his team told the reporter he was in favor of it, I think that tells the whole story right there.

People

It is getting where I dislike the human race more and more each day. I am very tired of getting cut off in traffic and the rudeness of the folks grows with each day or so it seems. I guess people just need a good butt kicking to get them so manners. I am to old to be kicking butts but I can still talk about it, I know that when I was a lad rude folks got their manners beat into them and I do not condone that type of behavior but sometimes it is still needed.

Fall trip

Every fall the family takes a day trip up into the Smokey Mountains to see the changing leaves and just to enjoy the nice side of nature. This year the leaves were in the best color I have seen in several years and that made the whole trip one that we will remember for many years to come. Now the next day trip will be to drive through the snow when it starts to fall in the mountains, one of the best things about living in this part of the country a few hours in any direction and you can have your choice of nature and that is a very good thing, at least it is to me.

Big day

Today is my personal favorite holiday, Veterans Day is huge to me and the many retired service men and women like me. I never was in a war but I spent my time in the Army and was proud that I served my country. I blame my grumpy manners on my Army days I spent four years at Fort Riley Kansas and that would make just about any one grumpy, I was in a tank and they were hot and confining. I am proud of my service but I could of been sent to a nice country to spend my time but no I spent it in Kansas. One reason why I will not return to Kansas now, I spent my four years there and that is all of old Walter that Kansas gets.
