Hipster Interruption (Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson)
Albie Rose’s gate looked pretty high, but I’m a good leaper – and I love leaping over things like gates! What a feeling! Bernie put one foot on the lowest crosspiece bar. “How we’re doing this,” he said, “is I’ll climb over and then let you in from the other side.”
Sometimes I don’t understand a word Bernie’s saying.
He paused. “Don’t let me forget about Music For Dogs. Laurie Anderson and Lou Reed – who are they, again? – are putting on this concert in Australia, twenty minutes of high-frequency sounds audible only to the nation within the nation. What I want to find out is if they plan to release it on CD, or if that’s even possible.”
What was he talking about? Your guess is as good as mine. I was just waiting till he turned his back so I could leap over the damn gate.

Do dogs like high-frequency sounds? Chet, I assume that you wouldn't attempt to leap a gate that was too high.
4:24 am on June 4th, 2010
Good morning Rio, and all. Thanks for worrying about me last night Rio. We had a very long dinner after the movie.
I bought a book by J.C. Holt on the Magna Carta. It has eleven chapters, including one on "Government and society in the twenfth century," as well as fourteen appendices. There are four surviving originals of the Great Charter. This will be fun.
4:34 am on June 4th, 2010
Chet – tell Bernie that it isn't on itunes yet. Bummer. She did play a snippet of the barking Jingle Bells for me though. What a great song!
Arf arf arf
Arf arf arf
Arf arf arf arf arf woof
Love those lyrics!!
4:38 am on June 4th, 2010
Bee – if Chet falls and fractures a leg, that WOULD be "Breaking" and entering. (Extrordinarily bad pun there. Sorry.)
Be careful, Chet!
4:43 am on June 4th, 2010
Bee – You have an interesting sense of fun. Magna Carta? 14 apendices? I'd rather go to the vet to get my teeth cleaned!
4:49 am on June 4th, 2010
Mom was in a VERY bad mood last night. And she was crying, also.
Something about seeing pictures of animals covered in oil. She said it was breaking her heart.
Bernie – mom says that destroying the planet for money isn't just gross stupidity. She says that it is evil, through and through.
And there are people out there (who shall remain unmentioned, like Sarah Palin) who are still saying "Drill Baby Drill."
She is now blaming the environmentalists for the spill. Go figure.
4:59 am on June 4th, 2010
Don't tell Lexi, because I don't want her to get a Big Head, but she is utterly and absolutely adorable!!
I hope Alice Johnson, AK, and staff are okay. We haven't heard from them in awhile!
Melanie – Gracie is beautiful. 10 pups? Wow!! That's almost as many as Teddy had.
Mom is also mad about about the BBC – Bad Baseball Call. She says that the rules need to be changed. If football can have instant replays, then so should baseball. The game should be based on what actually happens, not on what someone THINKS happened.
Sports Illustrated is pondering. They think that this may change the course of baseball. We hope that they are right.
5:00 am on June 4th, 2010
P
I forgot a P in appendices. That's how bored I was with the whole concept!
5:02 am on June 4th, 2010
Wolfie. i think one of those photos was on the front page of the Washington Post this morning. It was just awful. Makes me so mad. I guess they maybe have sorta capped it now, but no one seems to know for sure. I still think Executive Stuff (maybe with a few Canadian Geese thrown it for good measure) is the way to go. Wookie
5:05 am on June 4th, 2010
******Important Concern******
There have been several references to the Newcomers, Up Above.
Makes me wonder if we are confusing them with our talk of puppy showers and whatnot. I hope not.
Do we need to be more On Topic and Serious?
5:16 am on June 4th, 2010
Wolfie, you cad! Now you're schmoozing Lexi. Boy, you forgot me in a blur.
5:23 am on June 4th, 2010
Chet!… He’s gonna do it!…snort!… He’s gonna leap over the high gate!… heh!… I hope he doesn’t set off some sort of Paw Detection Alarm System… mmmm.
5:47 am on June 4th, 2010
High Frequency sounds for dogs? A concert? A cd? Sounds like ear pain to me. I'll stick to my old standbys like Johnny Cash and Marty Robbins.
Chet, be careful!
5:53 am on June 4th, 2010
mbaker must really LIKE me. I am still getting emails from him.
6:07 am on June 4th, 2010
Wolfie: History is not boring. And the Magna Carta is the basis of many of the rights that we now take for granted: We can't be taxed without representation, and we can't be imprisoned or deprived of our property based on the whim of one man or group of men. There can never be any progress without a knowledge of history.
6:12 am on June 4th, 2010
Hey!… I thought Admin was going to take care of this email problem!… snort!… What gives? … grump!… Mike Baker is out till next Monday!….cough!
6:25 am on June 4th, 2010
I'm sure when Mike Baker comes back he will want to make it up to us by creating our avatars.
6:32 am on June 4th, 2010
Rio, We got 3 emails from Mike Baker yesterday, but none so far today. My ruff stands on end every time Sarah Palin makes one of her stupid comments, like Drill Baby Drill or Lock and Load. She is wildlife's worst enemy. She says she doesn't wear furs, she hangs them on her walls, and is proud of it. Yuck!Yuck!
6:37 am on June 4th, 2010
Mom loves reading history books. I only read history books on the exploration of the Arctic.
6:44 am on June 4th, 2010
Sarah Palin is murder on wildlife.
6:51 am on June 4th, 2010
Guess we spoke too soon. Just got an email from our new BFF, Mike Baker. Who is this guy anyway? Barb just called her Senator's office and asked him to vote for the Clean Energy Act.
6:52 am on June 4th, 2010
Baker!… I think we should all start emailing Mr. Mike and see how he likes it….snort!… Every email should say, “Hey! How come Chet’s blog does not allow Avatars?” …. Or something nasty like that!…wheeze! cough!
7:10 am on June 4th, 2010
MagPie!… Mike Baker is the guy who designed, created and maintains Chet’s Blog…. snort!
7:11 am on June 4th, 2010
Each time we post, it is sent to Mike Baker's email. He has his out-of-office turned on so his email dutifully lets us know that he's not there.
7:11 am on June 4th, 2010
Mike Baker probably included Chet's blog in his "out of office" message by mistake. Admin wrote yesterday that they were trying to fix it. All I have to do is click the delete box to get rid of his messages. Calm down….there are worse things.
7:38 am on June 4th, 2010
Oops.
I just arfed and woofed the lyrics to Jingle Bells and now someone is calling me crazy.
When I first found Chet the Dog I went to a site that showed K-9 dogs in training and it is amazing how high they can jump (and how fast they can run). I have absolute faith that Chet can clear the fence if Bernie would just turn his head. I am afraid that Albie would have some kind of security in place, hopefully not including firearms.
7:45 am on June 4th, 2010
Baseball umpiring should join the 21st century. Or Bud Selig should change his decision. Or both.
7:49 am on June 4th, 2010
From Admin: Mike B. has been notified about this problem – and the avatar thing. He seems to be unavailable at the moment. Meanwhile, speaking of baseball – so graceful the way all the major participants of the blown call have handled the aftermath.
Sorry about the unwanted emails. Mike B. is being renotified. Maybe we'll have some sort of contest in the future, perhaps distant, to make up for it.
8:03 am on June 4th, 2010
Distant future!?…. hmmmm.. Does that mean a very, very, very long time from now?? …snort!… That’s probably when the Avatars will appear too… grunt!…In the distant future….sniff!
8:21 am on June 4th, 2010
Yes!! to a contest.
8:29 am on June 4th, 2010
Distant!…. How do these so-called contests work anyway?…. snort!… Do we all just post our answers and the guy with the most correct ones wins? … grunt!
8:29 am on June 4th, 2010
My brother just sent an email with a wonderful picture. Above the picture is: "Two of the greatest assets in life is patience and wisdom. Here is a picture of both." And the picture is of a dog (mixed breed) sitting on the deck of a house watching a skunk eating from his food bowl. I'd post it but I'm not sure how to.
8:36 am on June 4th, 2010
Rio: There have been two types of contests in the past. When I won the signed and paw-printed advanced copy of THAT, I guessed the answer to the question posted on the blog. The post was titled, "No Post Today" and we were told to guess why. We had been having posts about Chet and Bernie being in Mexico so I guessed that they had been arrested. Apparently that is part of TFAT. Then I was told to send my email address to Spence which I did and then I received the book in the mail.
Other contests have included quiz questions. People posted answers on the blog and there were several winners, all of whom received signed and paw-printed copies of THAT. Those quiz questions always related to information from DOI and THAT. They were similar to the question you answered about the hockey scene in THAT.
8:45 am on June 4th, 2010
Grunt!… What if in the distant future it is a quiz type contest…..snort!… couldn’t someone just copy the answers off say my answers to the questions??… wheeze!
8:48 am on June 4th, 2010
Rio: That didn't happen before. I guess we're all on our honor.
8:53 am on June 4th, 2010
Honesty!…. I hope it is in the Distant Future, because I still don’t have my books back… yeep!…Never ever again!!… grump!
9:46 am on June 4th, 2010
Thanks for the heads-up on identy of Mr. Baker. And you are right, Bee, there are many worse things.
9:50 am on June 4th, 2010
Concert!… Dogs get in free to the Music For Dogs performance… heh!… If you can get yourselves to Australia in time… snort!… The concert is June 5th, but there is a 14 hour time difference between here and there… sniff!….So that means it is already June 5th down under…. wheeze!
10:12 am on June 4th, 2010
The first science fiction book I read was the 1967 collection of Heinlein's The Past Through Tomorrow. Got me hooked on science fiction, but I think Heinlein went a bit weird.
I bring that up because of the Distant Future. Doesn't that just sound like it should be a science fiction book? Maybe PA or SQ or Chet (though Distant Future and Chet sort of doesn't make sense. There's now and then there isn't) should write it?
We have a CD called Mozart for Mutts. It doesn't seem to have any high frequency sounds in it. We put it on and the Pack goes to sleep. Of course, you could put on Tool and they'd go to sleep.
Dogs have a better concept of how high they can jump than people do. I'm waiting for Chet to beat Bernie up the fence than down.
Had to go down the mountain today. Ten degrees hotter down there. Riö, you'd like this but Lexi won't, I brought beer home for those that were working hard in the yard. It was well appreciated.
Almost forgot!! YSAS is going to be in Royal Pains! Last time he was on it, you got to see his back as he rolled a gurney down the hall. This time he has no lines, but you can SEE his face. He's with a very pregnant woman talking to one of the leads and then you can see them talking to their doctor. IF they don't get cut and left on the editing floor. Not sure when it's on, but I'm to tape it starting next Thursday.
He's got on kakis, and he has red hair.
10:23 am on June 4th, 2010
Melanie!… I will definitely be watching for him… snort!… He must have filmed this before he started his Reality Shakespeare… .grunt!…We never did get a photo of him in full make-up and wardrobe.
Lexi!?…Don’t get me started on that little brat!… growl!… She’s making my summer very boring indeed, what with no Beer Here during the games… grump!… AND she runs out on conversations without answering my questions… snort!… That really makes me mad… wheeze!
10:55 am on June 4th, 2010
Just checking in to let you know I am having 'fun' with a bad tooth. My dentist here says root canal but he can't get me in until next Thursday! So I will be making a fast trip down to Minneapolis because my city dentist can get me in at 8 a.m. Monday.
Meanwhile the pain medication didn't help and the antibiotic wasn't working and I have been doing a lot of sleeping with ice packs.
I just want to rip this tooth out of my head! Anybody got a pair of pliers?
~Staff
11:01 am on June 4th, 2010
AbbieTheKat!… I’ve been worried about you!… sniff!… Couldn’t you let Alice do a little creative dentistry on your tooth?… snort!… She’s probably pretty good at clawing and ripping… grunt!
11:02 am on June 4th, 2010
Rio! I said that I was sorry I can't answer your questions right away! Grr!
The answer to your questions yesterday is:
1.) What you mentioned yesterday
2.) For enjoyment or the author and the readers
3.) To pass time
4.) To express feelings and such
AND I AIN'T A BRAT!!!
I'm making you have no beer and crap like that BECAUSE I CARE FOR YOUR DAMN HEALTH. You're making me think that you don't care about your own health now. AND DOGS DON'T DRINK BEER, DAMMIT.
Oh, and that song that Bernie is talking about? Never heard of it, although I'd like to. What are the lyrics to it? Bark bark bark, woof woof woof, arf arf arf? Oh, hey, that's not so bad.
Actually, yeah it is.
And Chet! How in the name of fire hydrants are you going to jump that thing? How tall is it? And, by the way-LISTEN TO BERNIE! I'm sure that he knows what he's doing!!!!
Tailwags and licks. Lexi-an awesome dog, probably the most awesome dog here. Just kidding!! Or am I….?
11:04 am on June 4th, 2010
Staff, there is always the string and shutting the door. I bet Alice could help with the pain. One of her looks and there would be no pain, just lots of fish for her to eat.
Riö, the Royal Pains episode got taped today. The Shakespeare isn't until July and they still don't have the publicity photos up. When I see them I will put on up!
The umpire did a wonderful thing. He admitted he was wrong, apologized profusely (AND MEANT IT) and shook the pitcher's hand. Now, if BP or some of our politicians could learn to be so gracious.
11:15 am on June 4th, 2010
Thanks for checking in with us. Mom says to tell you she knows it is no fun. Torture is a better word for it. We'll be thinking of you, and you will feel a whole lot better after Monday. Keep sleeping, if you can.
Abbie and Alice, be good to staff.
11:20 am on June 4th, 2010
Lexi!… Calm down or you’ll blow a gasket… heh!… If I knew it was this easy to push your buttons, I would have started a long time ago…snicker!… I know you care about my health and just so you know, I do too…grunt!… And I have known plenty of dogs that drank beer!… snort!… Course they are all dead now, but they did enjoy their beer…. heh!
11:24 am on June 4th, 2010
I used to have a cat who drank beer. His name was Lancelot and he was all black with a tiny white spot on his chest. If someone had beer in a glass Lance would delicately dip his paw in and lick it off. He would keep doing it until he was found out. Then the beer would be put out of his reach.
He didn't do bottles.
~staff ( who is going to lie down and take another pain pill now)
11:33 am on June 4th, 2010
Yeah, Rio. "Of course, they're all dead now." KEY SENTENCE THERE!!!! Ha.
Bark bark bark!
Woof woof woof!
Barking all the time!
Oh what fun it is to annoy humans barking all the time,
BARK!
Bark bark bark!
Woof woof woof!
Barking all the time!
Oh what fun it is to cause all the humans headaches! BARK! ARF! WOOF! Ha.
11:53 am on June 4th, 2010
Lexi!… The guys I knew died of old age not liver failure ….grunt!… You better quiet down or they will throw you outside where the big bad Pit-Bully is waiting for something your size to eat as a snack…. snort!
11:59 am on June 4th, 2010
I'm sorry, Rio! T-T. GAH! YOU WOULDN'T THROW ME OUTSIDE TO THE PIT-BULLY!! HE'S A BULLY!!
12:02 pm on June 4th, 2010
Rio – I like the idea of having a million requests coming into Mr. Baker's in box asking about avatars. (Of course, I'm not even in 'Friends of Chet' yet, but that's besides the point!)
(Somehow I can't seem to get the technology down right.)
Staff – I hope you're feeling better soon. There is nothing worse than a toothache!! Poor, poor Staff.
Sam – I will love you forever and always, even though you spurned my affections. It's just that Lexi is a youngun, and they are so cute!
12:03 pm on June 4th, 2010
Lexi!… I would never throw you out to the Pit-Bully!… snort!…But someone in your household might if you keep barking your head off!…. grunt!… I’m trying to save your life – see it goes both ways… heh!
12:12 pm on June 4th, 2010
AbbieKat's staff: I'm so sorry about your tooth. I had a root canal several years ago (abscessed tooth). There is a gel that you can get at the drug store that numbs the area around the tooth. It lasts a couple of hours per application.
Melanie: I like your description of Chet and time: "There's now and then there isn't." Great!
I'm going to watch the pilot of Good Wife now.
12:15 pm on June 4th, 2010
The MBaker snafu has been fixed I think. I'm not getting the messages anymore. Thank you Admin.
12:30 pm on June 4th, 2010
Ha, Rio. I just noticed something. I am trying to save you from getting drunk and getting unhealthy-and maybe even dying early-and you're saving me from Megan throwing me outside to be eaten from the Pit-Bully. Aww!! Ha.
Wait-did you mention that already? I'm sorry-I'm too busy eating these chips with Megan…They're so good…..
12:52 pm on June 4th, 2010
Staff: Ouch! I'm sorry you have a toothache. Monday is a long ways away (the disant future when you have a t.oothache).If the antibiotic isn't working and your face starts to swell, better get to some emergency room somewhere.
12:58 pm on June 4th, 2010
Chet: How about you jump over the fence and let Bernie in from
the other side?
2:50 pm on June 4th, 2010
Dawson. CHET DOES NOT HAVE THUMBS.
2:55 pm on June 4th, 2010
I don't know about thumbs, Lexi, but Franklin can open some of our doors. They latch type,he can flip them up with his nose, and the screen door he can push the button with his nose and then pull the door open with his paws.
He will do anything to get near Zoë!
3:04 pm on June 4th, 2010
Franklin can also disappear. He's a smart dude.
3:20 pm on June 4th, 2010
Hey Dawson,
I am back from my nap. I have different antibiotics now. Hope they are better. It seems so, but it has only been 3 hours. Could I tell in 3 hours?
It seems to me my neck is less puffy feeling. 🙂
~Staff
3:50 pm on June 4th, 2010
Hey Staff, I hope you do feel better soon. What a bummer. May you get through this weekend. .
3:51 pm on June 4th, 2010
Yeah, I know that some dogs-sadly, not me-can open doors and stuff, but-no offense to Chet-I bet you that Chet cannot open that gate.
3:51 pm on June 4th, 2010
Hot!… It was hot today!…snort!… I remember HOT…sniff!… Crap! I don’t like HOT… grunt! … So we are in and out watering all those spots that our crappy sprinkler system doesn’t reach… sigh… Do you think someone would consider hiring people to upgrade this old system? …oh no!… First the big ole trees have to be trimmed…$$$$… and lots of it… snort!… There will be no steaks on the grill for a very long time… groan!
3:53 pm on June 4th, 2010
Oh! Lord! Lexi and I posted at the same flippin' time… grunt!
4:00 pm on June 4th, 2010
I just watched Laurie Anderson's video at the Sydney Opera House talking about the concert for dogs. Very cool. Her dog Lollabelle had a very rare disease and was given a month to live. They had a trainer who said he had trained a rat terrier (Lollabelle's breed) to play the piano. They had her trained and she was playing a year later. This concert is in honor of Lollabelle and dogs everywhere.
4:21 pm on June 4th, 2010
Melanie!…. I really hope they do not edit your son out of Royal Pains… snort!… That show is one we catch every now and then. It has enough quirky characters to keep us interested… grunt!…So we are hoping we get to see your red-haired son!… wheeze!sneeze!
4:44 pm on June 4th, 2010
Chet!… He can clear the gate I just know it! He’s my hero! … gruff!… Its Hot in here, and do you think someone will turn on the air-conditioner??… NO!NO!… Not till its unbearable of course… sniff!… That could be around Stampede time. Hell, I could be dead by then…grunt! … She’s in an air-conditioned busy time place all day long, she doesn’t have to be here upstairs where its HOT!…. snort!…She said she would put me downstairs where its a lot cooler but the computer is up here where all my Friends of Chet are… grunt!… If I go downstairs I can’t communicate all day long… sigh…. I’m stuck with being Hot As Hell…wheeze!… till she finally turns the Air on…dammit!
4:46 pm on June 4th, 2010
Rio, It was HOT today and suppose to be even hotter tomorrow. I think I'm gonna die. I hope this isn't a preview of the whole summer. We're watering the old fashioned way, too. Ok, mom waters and I supervise underneath a shade tree at a respectful distance.
Tomorrow, I may have to try Melanie's cooling method of ice on the paw pads.
4:56 pm on June 4th, 2010
Royal Pains! That's what toothaches are. Antibiotics take longer than 3 hours to work – but if you are feeling better – who knows?
Lexi: Okay, so Chet probably can't open the gate, but it would be funny if he did and he CAN open some doors so, who knows?
WWWWW: Be more serious? Stay on topic? I don't think so.
I read the Art of Racing in the Rain today and cried and cried.
4:59 pm on June 4th, 2010
Oh No!….We were outside too long and missed the beginning of the baseball game with the Snakes!… wheeze!… I hope it isn’t as hot as Siberh says it is…sniff!… That could be trouble…snort!
5:06 pm on June 4th, 2010
Rio, it is 102 in Phoenix. I guess we can't complain too much. Forget that–I am complaining. I don't know how Chet stands the heat in southern Arizona.
5:08 pm on June 4th, 2010
Okay, I don't see how we could stay on topic when it's so much fun to go a wandering. But Spence hardly ever comments on our stuff and he's always talking to the Newcomers, so I was worried.
It was 82 here, which was plenty hot. It will get HOT here soon enough.
Mom is in a grumpy mood again. She is taking an on line traffic course because dad got a speeding ticket in Vegas. $220 down the drain – ouch!
5:14 pm on June 4th, 2010
Holy Crap!… 102 – Even at 8:00pm Siberh???.. grunt!… My poor boys! I hope they are staying cool enough.. sniff! … Snakes are ahead by one point, but I am not worried yet…wheeze!…. Stay cool and calm guys…cool and calm!…but KICK THEIR BUTTS!…heh!
5:20 pm on June 4th, 2010
Yep, even at 8:pm, Rio. The nights in Phoenix do not cool off like they do where you and I live.
5:29 pm on June 4th, 2010
Well!…She’s got all the windows open now and the fans on in hope of some kind of breeze and cool-down….grunt!… Hot, its Hot! I need something cold to drink…crap!… That Lexi makes my blood boil at times…sniff!… Not that I don’t care for her mind you. She is like the mother I never had growing up. She is unique…heh!… But golly, mothering me at my age?? …sigh… luv you lexi. Heh!
5:31 pm on June 4th, 2010
Wolfie, $220 seems pretty unfair, but I know they are raising the traffic fines here in the hopes of making more money. A friend of mine just got hit for $150 for a cracked windshield.
5:46 pm on June 4th, 2010
Rio just do like me and pant loudly while hanging your head and drooling. Works especially well when Mom and Dad are trying to sleep. Always works for me. Or blend up a cool Margarita (no booze of course). Heh, heh. Wookie
5:46 pm on June 4th, 2010
Wow!… How fast over the speed limit was your guy going Wolfie??? …Seems quite high, but then I don’t drive so I don’t speed…grunt!… My friend hasn’t gotten caught in a very long time, but I know she speeds sometimes… heh!.. Especially when I egg her on!
5:51 pm on June 4th, 2010
Wookie!… What a welcome surprise at this hour!…snort!… A Non-Alcoholic Margarita??? What the hell is that all about???… grunt!… I can’t even fathom the idea, non-less the drinking of something like that….ugh!…Are you staying up for the Game? It is tied 3-3, and its hot as hell out on that field… wheeze!
6:03 pm on June 4th, 2010
Siberh!…So New Mexico nights actually cool off?? … snort!.. I think one day I will want to visit New Mexico, during the winter months me thinks… heh!… There are always nights here when it doesn't seem to cool off, but that happens in July or August…grunt!..We are hoping for more rain this summer..sigh
6:40 pm on June 4th, 2010
Most New Mexico summer nights cool off pretty good, at least where I am because of the elevation. We are hoping for more rain also this summer, but if rain happens, it won't be until July and August.
Where I live, a dog can at least have some fun in the summer if you go for a walk or to the dog park at dawn. It's cool enough then.
6:51 pm on June 4th, 2010
I'm keeping paws crossed on this baseball game.
Goodnight Friends!
I have to get mom off to bed so she can get up before sunrise to get me to the dog park before it gets too damn hot. An exercised husky is a better behaved husky. Who am I kidding. It is too hot to get up to much mischief.
7:00 pm on June 4th, 2010
Cassie!… My butt sniffing friend always used to wake my friend up at 5:30am to go for her long walk… snort!…Cassie loved it because she was let off the leash and she could run and poop wherever she wanted, but she knew the trail and never waived… wheeze!…She was such a good girl!…. snort!… I am so opposite of her, sometimes I wonder why I have not been auctioned off….sniff!… We all miss Cassie The Butt Sniffing Dog..sob!
7:09 pm on June 4th, 2010
Well guys, I might be the last here today. Perhaps a litle too much partying, and then people came here after. What fun! Gosh I'm so tired.
7:33 pm on June 4th, 2010

Dad was clocked at 84 mph, in a 65 mph area. We got caught in a speed trap just south of LV. The fine was $190, but since we're (meaning mom) going to traffic school, the fine is $180. Traffic school costs $39.00.
Mom is thinking that $219 would buy a really comfy hammock and a couple of good books.
Sigh.

The worst thing is that the traffic school thinks that people read about one word every ten minutes. You read three pages, take an eight question quiz, and then you have to wait 30 minutes before you can move forward. Such a waste of time!
