“Excuse me, John.”

“Yes, Stella what is it?”

“Shouldn’t those canines be playing instead of sleeping all day?”

“I think you have a point. Let me talk to them.”

“Lucy. Wake up.”

“Huh…wait, what boss?”

“Don’t you think you and Bailey ought to do something other than sleep on the couch.”

“Aw. . . Man, Boss. I’m glad you woke me I had this dream that I was sleeping next to Stella.”

“Never happen. See you even dream of sleeping in your sleep. You guys need to do something.”

“How about you, Bailey.”

“Gosh, Pop. I’m good right where I am. Er, what did you have in mind?”

“So Lucy. Here is a toy. Why not play.”

“Boss, boss, boss. You expect me to play with a terry cloth pig? Maybe Stella would do that. Not I.”

“Nope, I’m good, John. Got my three-headed snake on a stick.”

“Here Bailey. Take this thing away from me.”

“Okay, Lucy. Only because I love you. Mmmmmfffffptttt.”

“Man this thing tastes like it’s been in mothballs.”

“Boss. We gave it the college try. This just isn’t our kind of toy.”

“Fine ladies. Hit the couch.”

“Hello, reader.”

“Hello, Bailey. Nice to see you.”

“Can I confide in you for a minute?”

“Why sure you can.”

“The Boss is coming home tomorrow and I have some things on my chest that I need to confess.”

“You can tell me.”

“Lucy and I got on the bed while he was away.”

“Well, I’m sure that’s not a big deal.”

“I went swimming right after I ate.”

“You are still here, right? No harm done.”

“Lucy and I went gopher digging.”

“I’m sure that was okay.”

“You really think so?”

“Yes, I do.”

“Maybe I worry too much.”

“I’m going to tell John when he gets home.

I’m out of the country but will try to get to your comments. I apologise if my response is delayed.

“Hello Reader.”

Hello, Stella. What’s up?

“You know John is out right?”

“Yes, I know. Do you need something?”

“Come in here and look at these two.”

“Lucy and Bailey? Looks like they are playing.”

Yeah, on my turf.”

“This is my rug and my office.”

“I thought it was John’s.”

You are joking, right? He borrows it from me.”

“Oh, I didn’t know.”

“And those two keep coming in here. Rolling around and making a mess.”

“It certainly looks like they are having fun.”

“I need to find someone who understands.”

“Wait, Stella. I understand your problem.”

“You do?”

“Well  then, go lay on that couch and I’ll knead your stomach”

“I really have to go.”

***

I am out of the country and will try to respond when I can.

“Hi, Boss.”

“Oh, Hi Lucy. How are you doing?”

“Just fine boss. You know Bailey, and I were thinking.”

“Pretty dangerous stuff there, kiddo.”

“Okay, I was just kidding. What is on your mind?”

“You know when you are on the computer?”

“Like now?”

“Exactly.”

“What about it?”

“We have no one to play with.”

“How about the backyard?”

“I don’t know boss. What do you Think Bailey?”

“Why do you get me involved in your messes? The back yard is nice.”

“She would think it was nice. I was going for more.”

“I know you were, sweetheart. Why don’t you and Bailey go out for a while and I’ll join you later.”

“Okay. Don’t be long. Wait. Stella is in the way.”

“For heaven’s sake, you outweigh her by 50 pounds.”

“Yeah, but she carries those knives wherever she goes.”

“Be brave buckaroo.”

“A little bit on honing on these blades and I’ll be ready. Sure Lucy come on ahead.”

“Now Stella. Play nice.”

“This is as nice as I get John.”

I thought it would be fun to give you a view of what happens when you are a tourist and decide to ignore “Flood Warnings, High Wind Warnings, and Severe Weather Warnings.” I hope you enjoy the end result of not being able to fix stupid. A good case of Schadenfreude.

This first photo is of a car parked by a campsite. The wheels are buried and looks to be abandoned given the open door.

Here is what is left of the campsite

More of same. The people obviously just walked off.

This is a shot of a dog bed, belt, and pants. Who leaves behind a dog bed?

I had to take one last shot of this abandoned camp. They not only left the dog bed but someone’s pillow. I don’t get that at all.

Wonder where the charcoal grill is? It is right here along with a pop-up at a different camp.

Here is another swamped camp. The tide came in about 3 am so I’m sure waking up was a rich and rewarding experience.

Here is an upside down pop-up frame that I’m sure the folks were looking forward to using the next day. It is buried.

This is the piece de resistance. Trust me this is not a cabin cruiser.

We had more thrills with a stuck motorhome. The little dog is concerned

A good Samaritan decided to help pull the motorhome out with his surplus army truck.

Now we see no good deed goes unpunished. The truck got stuck, and the crane is needed to pull it out.

More truck drama

The truck is out now it is the motorhome’s turn. Yes, it got unstuck. The cost for this kind of thing runs about $1000.00. Might have been cheaper to turn on the radio last night.

“I enjoyed sniffing all that stuff, Boss.”

“I’m glad you did, Lucy. You did a nice job of it.”
