you’re going to the cage, Scott!

Apr 14, 2020

I had an online meeting and afterward, I accidentally knocked off the camera that sits on top of the biggest computer monitor on the planet. About 30-minutes later, I heard crunching. You already know what’s coming next, right?

Merida was eating it.

I don’t know how you get a dog not to run when you want to beat it within an inch of life. The second my voice was raised in anger, she took off like a bullet and went under the bed — camera and all. Guys, she’s going to boot camp the second it’s opened up. I might go back and get her if she graduates. Don’t let the sleepy face fool ya’ — this hound is the devil!

In the meantime, I’ll go on wanting to choke the life from her body and hug her while snickering at her antics all at the same time. And… when she’s REALLY bad, I call her “SCOTT” after my favorite brother. He totally deserves it. And I just love saying, “You’re going to the cage, Scott!

So until the day I drop her off for training, I’ll continue watching the President’s press conferences and reading about this crazy virus. Do you guys watch the daily COVID-19 live updates (https://whitehouse.gov/live)? I do and I can distinctly hear Trump’s voice in my head as I read this…

Not political, mind you. I voted for Trump and I’ll vote for him again if the Democrats can’t do better with candidates. But call a spade a spade (how old is THAT saying?) — this sounds exactly like something that would come out of Trump’s mouth. Over and over. Multiple times.

COVID-19 update:
70 cases in Jackson County (up 0 since yesterday)
8,527 cases in Indiana 
(up 291 since yesterday)
387 total deaths in Indiana 
(up 37 since yesterday)
584,073 cases in US 
(up 23,182 since yesterday)

My view when I’m not asleep or chasing hounds isn’t awful, but it sure is getting old…
