O’Howlers: I Think I Beat Youse to the Front of the Pack!
8:02 am on February 6th, 2015
Now…to Check Out that Story of that Silly Lamb…..
8:07 am on February 6th, 2015
Awwww…How Cute is That?..Not silly at all…she’s Acting Exactly Like a Member of the Nation Within!
8:13 am on February 6th, 2015
Good morning, BSD and everyone! We were watching that silly lamb so you beat us to the blog 🙂 We agree with the O’H that you ARE up early. Those borders obviously know how to herd. Now we wonder who is more confused, a lamb that thinks it a dog or herders who think 4 to 1 is a good herding ratio!
Mom still feels like it is a weekend day, sheesh!
Think we will have a fragmentary Friday so we don’t confuse any more days.
8:16 am on February 6th, 2015
HOH: It’s only a matter of time before that lamb will be barking.
8:17 am on February 6th, 2015
8:18 am on February 6th, 2015
BSD, it surely has romping down pat.
8:42 am on February 6th, 2015
Very cute indeed. Pet looks like she might be a Shetland breed, that is what we had in the country before we had the goats. They come in all colors and are a fleece sheep rather than a meat breed. All dumb however.
And why does everyone have a BC named Fly?
Good morning all. Getting packed up to leave for work and then hanging out with the Grands. Everyone seems healthy at the moment, so hope their are no lingering germs. I will be taking Airborne and Vitamin C.
Rio, I think I can tell you where I am in the book, without a spoiler. She is being called Lydia by someone.
9:01 am on February 6th, 2015
BML: Paws crossed for you at the Grands. We suppose if you wore a mask it would freak everyone out? Such extreme measures are probably not necessary, seeing that Lily is back in school.
9:10 am on February 6th, 2015
Is the lamb herding the dogs? I haven’t read Songs of Innocence (William Blake) in a long time.
Good morning all.
9:12 am on February 6th, 2015
Ah! “Little lamb, who made thee?”
9:21 am on February 6th, 2015
It did look more like the sheep was doing the herding. The dogs didn’t seem to have too much interest in her.
Off to start my busy weekend. Have a good day, everyone.
9:34 am on February 6th, 2015
Barb, Fly is a BC in the movie Babe.
I will continue my walk down memory lane tonight.
9:45 am on February 6th, 2015
Morning all. Off to do another day of errands. We have a new snowstorm threat for Sunday into Monday. Each day, the weather people add another prospective inch or two.
Have we ever mentioned that we really are NOT fans of snow.
sigh.
9:48 am on February 6th, 2015
For those interested (and in case you didn’t already know), a Breaking Bad spin off titled “Better Call Saul” starring Bob Odenkirk, begins Sunday on AMC. (There’s a review in today’s NYTimes.)
9:55 am on February 6th, 2015
Royal Mum, as a skier, I loved the snow! Bring it on! Now I’m a non-skier and this is the second winter of my discontent.
9:56 am on February 6th, 2015
Actually, Blakes poem “The Tyger” (source of today’s post title) was in Songs of Experience.
9:56 am on February 6th, 2015
MPM is making me laugh.
9:59 am on February 6th, 2015
Bee thanks for the heads up.
10:03 am on February 6th, 2015
MMLLMom: We are Looking Forward to a Walk Down Memory Lane. It’s a Blast to Go Back to the Past.
B: DVR is Set for Sunday Premiere of Better Call Saul. We are especially Looking Forward to seeing more of Mike from Breaking Bad.
10:07 am on February 6th, 2015
We here love snow. Love it.
We even love the -3 temperatures we had this morning.
Mom used to love snow right along with her huskies, until she moved to this here farm and had to take care of horses in the freezing cold and snow. That added a whole new dimension to winter.
10:18 am on February 6th, 2015
OML! Pet is so adorable. I just love the way she hippity hops. I want one of those. Pretty Pleeeeease.
10:35 am on February 6th, 2015
AHA!!!! Prof Bee made a grammatical error.
Next up, flying pigs and frozen hell.
tee hee

Just Wait Until Belle Starr Sees Her!
10:39 am on February 6th, 2015
Hello All and a Gracious Good Morning.
Staff–Bang the Drum Slowly is an excellent choice, and the last line is truly moving.
ALR–I understand the difficulty (and I have several–the Wodehouse one had just been on my mind. Another all-time favorite: “[He] felt and overwhelming desire to do something, but the feeling passed” (this is pretty much a description of my life).
T and G’s Mama–I had forgotten about that one, but you’re right–quite illustrative.
HOH–I don’t know why that wouldn’t count (and have you seen the one for felines–Human is saying something along the lines of “Who’s a beautiful girl?” and you see a completely empty thought balloon over the animal’s head…
Those of you with impending snow and storm warnings, be safe, everyone have a happy day.
10:40 am on February 6th, 2015
Tupper’s Mama: I don’t see it. Unless you mean a Missing Comma.
10:42 am on February 6th, 2015
Aww–I just checked out the video (I’m no expert, but isn’t that kind of a mature lamb)?
Zeus–Maybe you can share with Belle Starr…
10:47 am on February 6th, 2015
Is that it? A missing comma in the post about Tyger?
10:52 am on February 6th, 2015
Not a missing comma. A missing apostrophe.
HA!
11:01 am on February 6th, 2015
You are right and on the ball Zeus! We missed it.
11:02 am on February 6th, 2015
I am glad we are not held to such high standards. Such pressure!
11:04 am on February 6th, 2015
Maggie, I am held to very high standards here. Remember whose boots I have to (try to) fill? It is extreme pressure.
11:08 am on February 6th, 2015
Tupper’s Mama: I was just testing everyone….
11:12 am on February 6th, 2015
Of Course! An Apostrophe! We missed it too. It must have been that Rascally Otter-Cork.
11:15 am on February 6th, 2015
B: Zeus passed your test with flying colors…the rest of us failed miserably.
11:17 am on February 6th, 2015
Rio, you will get a year of monitoring. I’ve had it twice already, but not from a security breach as serious as the Anthem one. The last one I got is protectmyid.com. When the year expires, you can just pay to renew it, or look elsewhere, of course. Lifelock is supposed to be good.
11:17 am on February 6th, 2015
Actually, it was Tupper’s Mama who pointed it out in the first place.
11:18 am on February 6th, 2015
Rio, you will get a year of monitoring. I’ve had it twice already, but not from a security breach as serious as the Anthem one. The last one I got is protectmyid.com. When the year expires, you can just pay to renew it, or look elsewhere. Lifelock is supposed to be good.
11:19 am on February 6th, 2015
MPM: What happened with the Anthem breach?
11:19 am on February 6th, 2015
I was getting the duplicate comment message so I made a small change.
11:22 am on February 6th, 2015
Which reminds me: When I was still teaching, a colleague and I team taught a class that was putting together a manual for a new computer system that was being installed. (She was in the computer science department.) As I was proofreading, I told her that, “if there’s a banned error in this, my life is over.”
11:28 am on February 6th, 2015
There is another error in that same comment. (I used past tense when referring to the poem. The “rule” is that one should always refer to literature in the present tense since it “is” in the present even if the author isn’t.)
And way to go Zeus…and Tupper’s Mama.
11:37 am on February 6th, 2015
They are saying the data was not encrypted. Isn’t this unusual for such a large scale operation.
11:41 am on February 6th, 2015
Lifelock!….Thanks MollysMaw. I was trying to remember the name of that one…snort!…Someone is feeling better today – not so panicky and sick to her stomach…gah!
Barb!…I had a feeling you were right around that Lydia spot…chuffle!…We will sadly be finishing the book this weekend…sob!…Pay attention to Lydia’s dress.
11:58 am on February 6th, 2015
Masquers, the Anthem data is all someone needs to steal an identity – SSN, date of birth, and health info.
12:00 pm on February 6th, 2015
Large amounts of data are not normally encrypted. Security, in the form of good firewalls and locked-down servers, are what is used to protect data. We didn’t read how the Anthem breach occurred.
12:02 pm on February 6th, 2015
Masquers, I don’t think that data gets encrypted. Dealing with unencrypting and then encrypting it again slows down the computer system.
O’Howlers Mom can address that better.
12:03 pm on February 6th, 2015
China!….A Chinaman took our data…grump!
12:04 pm on February 6th, 2015
Ha ha, and she did.
12:07 pm on February 6th, 2015
B, we are loving your self-flagellation. You make mom smile. We think we are all too otter cork adjusted and read through errors.
12:39 pm on February 6th, 2015
HOH: I earned my living finding those errors, in part. I preferred the teaching/discussion of literature to teaching writing and grammar. I always told my students that proofreading one’s own writing is the hardest because the writer knows what is meant.
There is an article in today’s NYTimes about the Anthem breach.
12:43 pm on February 6th, 2015
The video won’t play for me. The sound is there but no picture…GAH I wanted to see the Border Collies. I will go to youtube later and look for it.
We are going to watch Better Call Saul. The local media is giving it tons of coverage…made the front page this morning.
12:53 pm on February 6th, 2015
Thanks, MPM and Howler’s Mom and B: Scary times…no need for identity thieves to rummage through trash cans any longer…not when our data is easily accessible for anyone with the proper skills to download at their leisure.
12:55 pm on February 6th, 2015
Siber-H: Here’s the YouTube Video from this morning’s post:

Bear, Good Dog! Thank You!
2:03 pm on February 6th, 2015
That BSD is one multi-talented dog. Now he is a retriever!
Round one of Chili Pepper errands done. Later, we are Gramp’s chauffer – this could be a loooong afternoon.
Rio – on our news last night, the financial reported said that the best way to protect yourself was to go to the big 3 credit reporting agencies and put a freeze on any new credit lines. If you need to take a loan or a credit card out in the future, you just have to “un-freeze” your credit line, and after the transaction, put a freeze back on it. The reported said it is actually a good idea for everyone to put a freeze on their credit lines if they don’t have any plans to do a credit app any time in the near future.
2:07 pm on February 6th, 2015
Good day. Still morning here for another hour.
Snow! Looks like 6 inches or more of new snow overnight and still coming down steadily. I hope the Iditarod Trail is getting some of this. I don’t want to hog it all.
That huge lamb is gamboling!
2:26 pm on February 6th, 2015
By the time I arrived on Wednesday at Friend’s busy place to have a huffle and gruffle and a pep talk with the Hotshot followed by a piece of hard candy—firm and loving is my way—Rio’s Friend had already done it all less the hard candy. I decided to stay anyway. Friend’s coworkers seemed to be bothered that none of the envelopes I licked had anything in them. It didn’t bother me. I’m staying at the busy place through the end of the day. I found another large box of envelopes that need licking. I may be a visitor at the busy place, but I like to pull my weight.
2:34 pm on February 6th, 2015
Luna – who’s a good doggie?
2:39 pm on February 6th, 2015
Luna!…How come you are there and I am here?…grunt!
2:45 pm on February 6th, 2015
Rio, could your situation be because they fear you HAVE read the book: The Art of the Silent Fart?
2:50 pm on February 6th, 2015
Oh good dog, mom has opened windows on the south side of our house because it 70* in the bedroom We could died from something this drastic. WE think the weather is a yoyo playing with our comfort!
2:56 pm on February 6th, 2015
Rio: That pesky clause about you not being allowed to leave your yard. I wonder if Teddy’s paw can find a loophole. In any event, the Thieves should be arriving shortly with beer and hotwings for you to help pass the time.

A friend sent me a link to this year long project. Wow. If you have heard of Jim Brandenburg this is some of his photography if I understand it right. It is also on Facebook. One post each day. I thought of Melanie when I started viewing it.
3:49 pm on February 6th, 2015
That was so beautiful, Staff. Mom and Pop had their hearts set on seeing the Northern Lights when they went Way Up North. Apparently they didn’t go way north enough.
3:58 pm on February 6th, 2015
Staff: That Video is Hauntingly Beautiful. Jim Brandenburg has also written a wonderful book called, Brother Wolf: A Forgotten Promise.
4:54 pm on February 6th, 2015
Staff: Beautiful photography. I will google Jim Brandenburg.
7:02 pm on February 6th, 2015
I finally punched out of the salt mine at Friend’s busy place. My tongue is raw.
7:29 pm on February 6th, 2015
Luna – we would strongly urge you not to lick anyone upon arrival home – you mighth find your tongue thtuck to the rethipient.
7:46 pm on February 6th, 2015
WE got the wrong pizza tonight. So they said they would bring the right one over right away. I said, “Can we get it tomorrow?” They said yes! YEEP! Two pizza’s for the price of one. The Turtleman and his wife will enjoy it also.

On another chat group we call this the Wayback Machine! I don’t know how you do this M & L’s Mom, but is is fun, isn’t it!
8:54 pm on February 6th, 2015
MollysMaw!….heh!heh!…Have you found the day I posted my first photo on the blog?…snort!…I had a helluva time with that…grunt!
9:17 pm on February 6th, 2015
Mom hid the ipaw while she took the DDD, boarder in the basement, his new lady friend and her (LF’s) daughter out for ice cream after a school dance. Shakes, cones and a sundae had by the group. And us? All we got was a big cookie (each).
The trip back in time on the blog has been wonderful. More, if you can, please. We love our blog family and find the evolution fascinating.
We will catch up in the AM. Nighty night.
9:20 pm on February 6th, 2015
Wait! Before we go to dream land, we need to thank everyone for accepting us into this blog-family and putting up with us. Every family needs a black sheep (or two).
9:20 pm on February 6th, 2015
One of the things I remember is Rio and Mollypop and Lulu’s Mom teaching us tiny little bits of HTML. Like how to
strikeout words. So useful when you learn how to do it.>^..^<
9:21 pm on February 6th, 2015
MPoP’s and LouLou’s Mom. In going down memory lane, have you come across any of Rio’s missions. I have always wanted to track those down, but have never had a chance. Also, I think it was circa July 1, 2010, when Wookie won the advanced reader’s copy of TFAT by his reference to Niagara Falls.
9:21 pm on February 6th, 2015
Big news in these parts ANGIE HAS A DATE TONIGHT. She has been driving me nuts with her nervous excitement. I forgot to tell her to ask if his dad was available, heh heh.
I got my training schedule for next week, went out and bought my stylin’ black pants and white shirt, so I am ready to join the workforce (sort of) It has been YEARS since I worked an 8 hour day and I was uh less mature then, and it wasn’t standing on my feet.
Howlers, I am very envious of your snow, until I read about your mom having to tend horses in this weather. Don’t you have a garage you can store them in? brrrrrr
9:21 pm on February 6th, 2015
HOH, Twins!
>^..^<
9:21 pm on February 6th, 2015
Oh, Staff, we are twins…again!
9:23 pm on February 6th, 2015
And…again!
9:24 pm on February 6th, 2015
Staff, counting the time till we get to Alaska and raise some heck!
9:24 pm on February 6th, 2015
I forgot to post this yesterday. This is the hearts game at the senior game day at church.
I was playing Chicken Foot at another table.
9:25 pm on February 6th, 2015
Also, one of the best things about the TFAT ARC was being the first to know the name of a bar mentioned in the book — Uncle Rio’s.
9:31 pm on February 6th, 2015
WookiesPaw!….SNORT!….One of the first missions involved Wookie Hanging By His Tail in Spencer’s office…chorkel!…I will never forget that!…heh!heh!…He was disguised as a cleaning lady…guffle!
9:32 pm on February 6th, 2015
Uncle Rio!….I keep waiting for that guy to reappear in Chet’s books…snort!
9:45 pm on February 6th, 2015
ML!…Does everyone play with cards that big?…gasp!….That would really ruin my poker face if I had to use those gigantic things…wheeze!….Not to mention trying to hold them up!
9:48 pm on February 6th, 2015
Wookie’s and Teddy’s Dad, I have passed the parts where Wookie hung by his tail, but I’m waiting to come to our first real mission. I will put that up for sure. I may have the missions saved elsewhere. They are great writing. Rio’s made this blog. I knew it before, but now seeing it again it’s so evident!
9:49 pm on February 6th, 2015
I know I have print outs of at least some of Rio’s missions…somewhere.
May 11th, 2010 2:44 The Edgar Mission is one, if MPop & Ll’S Mom can find that date.
9:51 pm on February 6th, 2015
Here’s one: The ARC Mission 1:23 pm July 6th.
9:53 pm on February 6th, 2015
That is the first time those cards have made their appearance and I imagine it will be their last. They are a beotch to shuffle. The other tables were playing with dominoes.
9:55 pm on February 6th, 2015
December 24th 3:31 pm. These were all in 2010. This is the one with Melanie, BStover and the cane. It’s hilarious!
9:55 pm on February 6th, 2015
Awwww!….I will get my friend to look through her old files…sniff!…I’m sure she has Wookie hanging by his tail somewhere…grunt!…I wouldn’t mind reading those old Mission Notes…heh!heh!…Bathrooms! Spence and Admin wanted their bathrooms cleaned…chorkel!
10:12 pm on February 6th, 2015
Looking for Whitey-Lance March 12, 2010? Wait! Was I missing?
10:14 pm on February 6th, 2015
2010!…Me and my friend lived in a different house back then. We lived in my other house…sniff!…We used to sit together and write Mission Notes, but now my friend is consumed with things here in mother’s house or the busy-place…grump!…The busy-place, back in 2010 had a not-very-busy time during the winter months and so things were easier….sniffle!…Now, my friend does not have time to breath it seems, let alone help me out with Mission Notes…grump!
10:21 pm on February 6th, 2015
Rio: I will help where I can at the busy place. I like that place. Free kawfee, a watercooler worth tipping over, chairs on wheels that corner like they’re on rails, and entire room of office supplies with envelopes waiting to be licked. Plus Friend is there. What could be better, I ask youse?
10:34 pm on February 6th, 2015
Whitey!…heh!heh!…He once was lost but now is found…snort!
10:38 pm on February 6th, 2015
Busy-Place!…Luna, you speak of a place I have never been and am not allowed to go to…sniff!…It sounds like a wonderful, magical place….wheeze!… Did you see the lunchroom? Was there free food and flowing beer? Were there nice little beds to rest upon in the breakroom? Was there big-screen TV’s for entertainment and bowls of pop-corn everywhere?…chuffle!…I can imagine it all, oh yes I can…((sigh!))
10:44 pm on February 6th, 2015
Rio: That must have been what was behind that door that had a sign on it that said conference room. I will investigate next week.
10:56 pm on February 6th, 2015
MTMP: Tell ML to make sure she has comfortable shoes for that 8 hour (gasp!) shift. And try to put your feet up on breaks.
I’m off to read Miss Julia.
