Well it seems Cooper is much more talented than I thought. I mean, the dog is smart. He obeys commands and minds real well. I have seen him do amazing things. When we play fetch, I have seen him use his front paw to push the ball sideways just to prolong the game. Well now I found out he has done the impossible. According to my son, he is the one who has been opening the pineapple cans and eating the fruit and then hiding the cans around the yard and house. The other day I opened up the freezer to find a tub of ice cream open with the spoon still in it. According to my son it was Cooper and not him. All those cans behind the air conditioner outside, it turns out it was Cooper all along. I guess I am thankful to find out my son wasn’t the culprit, so now I will make the can opener cabinet dog proof and order a whole case of pineapple.

I just had my 20,000 mile maintenance check on my Electric Mustang. Electric cars don’t have radiators, nor do they have distributors or spark plugs. They don’t have transmissions, nor do they have oil to change. They don’t have exhaust systems or catalytic converters. They really don’t have anything to maintain. Yet, when I bought my car the salesperson wore me down to get the extended maintenance program. After 3 hours in the room I was so exhausted I gave in and said, I will take it.
So today, do you know what they did for maintenance? The poor mechanic had to check the air in all 4 tires, and the poor guy had to check the windshield wiper fluid. Should I have tipped him?

One quick story.
So I was in the downstairs bathroom and realized we were low on TP. We have a basket on a shelf where we keep it. I reached in and what did I find? 2 empty cans of pineapple and 1 empty can of Campbells Chicken Soup, oh, and of course, the silverware.

Aliens are amongst us.
So we get back from 3 days at Santa Cruz and my wife asked me if I washed the side door. I said what? This a double French door next to the garage. I look and the bottom of the door is wet, all the bricks in front of the door are wet, and the concrete which is part of the driveway is wet. But the concrete is wet in a straight line. Like someone purposely washed the door to not make a mess. I thought it was a broken pipe and ran up to the roof to see what was wet up there, but everything else including the other side of the door was dry. So only the outside of the door was wet. There was nothing missing like maybe there was aunsuccessful break in. This was all in the morning shade so it wouldn’t have evaporated too quickly. So the aliens were just there and we missed them. Shucks, I always wanted to meet one of those beings.
