So my wife and I are down in Glen Ellen for 2 night for our 25 anniversary. The first time we have been away from our kids for 2 nights in 22 years.
I drove the electric car down here hoping to use the excuse we would run out of power and we couldn’t go back. Wouldn’t you know it, there are charging stations everywhere so now tomorrow we have to go home.
Shucks.
Ok, what to write about…
Politics? No definitely can’t talk politics.
Religion? No can’t talk about that either.
Family (Cooper is part family)? Oh, there is always something to write about.
Do I write about my son going through 15 different water glasses a day? No, too boring.
Do I write about Cooper going nuts about the Halloween decorations (skeletons out front)? No too, noisy.
I’m sorry, I guess I have nothing to write about.
Oh, so I really love my electric Mustang. I had to fill up my old Buick which requires premium gasoline. I paid $6.70 a gallon. I sure love my electric Mustang.
Ok, I have seen some weird things in my life time but this one my take the cake.
So Cooper and I are walking down the street where we live. We live out in the country so we see things you may not see near the city. So as we are walking I hear migrating birds flying over. They are usually very high in the sky and it took a while for me to locate them. When I do see them, I can’t tell what kind of birds they were but they were about 100 of them flying South and flying in perfect formation, and I am guessing at least a 1000 feet up.
So I tell Cooper, “ Look at those birds”. He sits down on the road and looks up at them and starts barking at them. I mean he is barking at these birds up in the sky. Ok, the birds apparently hear him and stop flying south and now start flying in a big circle. The sound they made has now changed, I swear they are now trying to communicate with Cooper. After a minute of them flying around they get in formation and start flying East, and after another minute they correct themselves and fly South again. I guess Cooper, must have some magical telepathic powers.
So in order to train Cooper better, my wife got a shock collar. Cooper has a difficult time with cars on the road and dogs on tvand no matter what we do and say he goes ballistic and wants to attack them. Attacking the dogs on tv is annoying but not a big deal. Attacking a moving car would be disastrous. So with the collar my wife has been able to train him. She was talking to me when she commented how well this device works and how well Cooper responds to all her commands. She feels like now Cooper is much more manageable.
I look over and she is holding the shock collar and I notice she is looking at me and smiling as if to say, just think how much easier the house work would be if your husband listened to every command?"
I immediately commented that I was going to go scrub the kitchen floor.
