Disloyal…?

hey bb how’s the bay — love that video

Har!

Toon! Hosers!

nice work bb…

hey — jay ward and crew named snidley’s band that… not me

hey kelly

sorry — was on the phone just as my post went up

how is every one doing tonight? tis a drizzly 45 here and been drizzly all day.

Tonight, SNL rocked. We laughed ourselves silly!

hey ce — how’s ohio tonight?

VERY cold. Holding at ten degrees. But we are warm. Catching up on a paper-throw-out, and we watched a lot of PBS shows today. Trader Joe’s run for cheese and stuff tonight, and a perfect winter sunset!

Higher incline on the treadmill for hour. No rowing lately jogging and hot yoga with the hot honeys. The joints, origins and insertions are way looser now. All that heavy weight lifting needs to be unglued. How’s the teeth feeling Suz. Good evening pups.

sun came out just in time to give me a wonderful winter sunset tonight. hope to post the pics later at my place. really was grand.

still adjusting but doing ok. thanks for asking bb

It is a bit nippy, isn’t it? Hi everyone!

ah, eating peas with your horse’s knife, a/k/a ‘Toronto style’…No wonder the sun set on the empire.

;>)

hey margot

11 degrees and snowed in.

Loving she drank canadian whiskey..

hey db

brrrrr sunny — glad ya liked that song. tis a fav of mine.

Thanks for Dudley Do-right, Suz. Son said “WHat are you watching?!”

Lovely! It was all pink and lavender, with hints of blue and gold. Very rare here, as the sun does not shine much in winter.

i like to think the jay ward cartoons i watched as a kid had a positive influence on my snark.

oooooooo sounds like the one i had

There’s gold in them there credits. Hans Conried as Whiplash, William Conrad as narrator and Paul Mazursky writing. Hi Suz. *g*

I didn’t see it. Had a dead battery, got a jump and got the battery replaced…wow they’re getting expensive. Auto parts guy said their batteries go up every few months.

It was beautiful, and I’m old enough now to just, sigh, enjoy the moment. For just a few minutes, all is right in the world. Corny, yes.
OTOH, we listened to a band called Vampire Weekend on NPR, and they were great.

hey emerson

Hey Doods!

doodette! edit Senator doodette!

Boy, that sucks Margot. After years and years of old cars that needed jumps and me STANDING in the trunk hauling out spare tires to fix that damn Oldsmobile ‘Brougham 1988 — we called it the HMS Dreadnought, with the bumper that fell off — whew. We now lease a Honda.

doodette!

boy it sure has been one hella week. is everyone as fried as i am?

Senator McCurnin, my honored collegue!

More coyote happenings. Yesterday we were walking in the greenbelt and sat down on a picnic table. The dogs were standing on the table. We were there about ten minutes when a jacket rabbit ran past us followed by a coyote. The energy was intense. The rabbit got away. We went home.

Today I was telling a neighbor about our recent coyote adventures (we have had more than one recently) and she said that another neighbor was walking in the greenbelt with a friend and her three very large dogs. They were suddenly surrounded by six coyotes and couldn’t move. She called her husband who came down in his truck, picked them up and scared the coyotes away. This happened about two blocks from their house and they live across the street from us.

I finally wrote to the dept. of fish and game today. I don’t know if they can do anything about it but it makes me feel edgy. Not edgy cool-edgy nervous.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFAleFnbRgw

holy moly knee knocking edgy nervous. that would make me wanna take the dogs elsewhere for walks — even if i had to drive them to get there.

Hi Mary Are liking the beautiful full moon and sunny days?

Nice.

oooooooh from his new album…

No more walks in the back for me or the dogs. And the cat is in after six. I know it is dangerous all the time but the coyotes aren’t as active in the neighborhood during the day and the cat is crazy if we don’t let him out some. He is yelling at me now.

Plus, my next door neighbor was almost broken into several days ago. Someone popped out the screen and then broke the window trying to get in. She had been out of town and I think the bad person knew that.

Love him…am now looking into someone called Cowen, with an album named “snow.”

I won’t be sorry if we move.

*sigh*

jonny lang and the fisk jubilee singers are up for a grammy tomorrow — i hope they win

I wonder if the coyotes know the almost thief.

Hey big!

Had to replace the battery and tires on my car right before I got the new one. Maybe I could get more for it if I part it out :-)

Don’t remember what I paid for the battery, but the tires… yikes!

oh that bites sunny. its like adding insult to injury when its a car ya know you are getting rid of but ya gotta do it

Don’t know if you’ve seen this Senator.

http://www.aaanimalcontrol.com/professional-trapper/howtogetridoffoxcoyotes.htm

Wow. Great singer.

Oh yes, I’m just lucky it wasn’t a tire. Thank goodness for good neighbors to give me a jump…and I’m lucky I had the money, too.

Problem is they are in the greenbelt. That is run by the dept. of fish and game. We can’t do anything about it. I do believe that they have the potential to harm a person.

i’m sure you’ve heard this

he was also in blues brothers 2 — trying to find that video

I wonder if you can carry something that will make a loud noise to scare them off, but won’t hurt them?

link no work.

i fixed it in edit — try this

not THAT message …. THIS message!

maybe like one of them push button air horn thingies that ya use to signal time is over at camp? push the button and it makes a loud noise that can be heard over a distance

Smokin’

One of my fave possessions is the great jumper cables santa brought me one year. I’m keeping those.

The death knell bell on my car was a neighbor who gave me a jump, but reversed the polarity on the cables… Silly me to assume he knew what he was doing. He now has a new car tooo…

Does this cartoon make Sarah Palin, Dudettely Don’tWrite?

mary — could only find the audio track to the lang/blues brothers

Rocks and hoses-get that pitching arm warmed up, Senator.

hey ppd

of course as soon as i said that, i found it

here’s one:
http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=5634&BASE

I don’t want the critters killed. I want them removed. I cannot imagine that they would shoot them in the greenbelt anyway. Too many people. And I know they don’t usually hurt people but I did read not to leave small kids or pets unattended in coyotes areas.

Oh hell Sunny! Sigh. What can you do…

Boat horns – about the size of shaving cream cans. I once found a small skinny one and carried it in my purse when I was parking downtown and often worked late.

Hey Suz — did everyone see Summers speaking at Davos. Man, that guy is bought and paid for by Wall Street, but otherwise, dumb as a stone! Just couldn’t resist sending congratulations on the occasion to whitehouse.gov

that’s what i was thinking of….

they are really loud for their size

I keep rocks in my pockets sometimes just in case.

Good info, emerson. Thank you.

I might have to buy some records of this person.

Remember records.

nope — i’m trying to keep this weekend as politics free as possible so i’ve avoided it. at least ventriloquists’ dummies were named accurately

i have vinyl in the pod. fills an entire box and that box is heavy. mainly stuff from the 60′s, 70′s and 80′s.

air horns are an excellent idea. That’ll scare them off.

be back later

Hi PPD

I will get one tomorrow.

but don’t rely on it. it may be something that they could become used to and realize poses no threat to them. i would still drive the dogs to a safer location for walks.

I got through about half of it, Defend. Then I had to turn the little robot off. For the record, he answered zero questions and filibustered through any chance of a follow-up.

I can walk them a couple of streets over. There is a lot of activity not far from here and it would keep them away.

agree. You might want to combine rock throwing with the air horn.

that’ll work — and put the air horn in your pocket for just in case….

yep. I always err on the side of caution cept if I am blogging.

Remember records.

In fact, our host is responsible for creating several of them for deserving types.

;>)

in my avoiding politics comment upthread in response to ppd — i should clarify

that is me personally only. i certainly don’t want ya’ll to think that i don’t want political talk on my threads. i was just saying that i’m avoiding news etc this weekend as a wee break from it all.

Hah! Nice.

I’m fried too, Suz. Appreciate a break here among pleasant company.

am i mis-remembering but didn’t it used to sorta calm down in january after the hectic holidays?

Ya might also want to look at mace. Doubt they’d come back for seconds of that — otoh, hope you’d never get close enough to use it effectively.

wasp spray. its propellant makes it go further and ya can sorta aim it. is what was used before pepper spray came into vogue

mmmmm. Think I might try that one.

Good advise

its an effective personal safety device that most women don’t feel ucky having on their nightstand or in the glove box. i wouldn’t recommend carrying it in such a way that it could accidently go off. would totally fork up a purse just like pepper spray would.

at least the women in my family :)

like that one.

Ron said to get bear pepper spray. You need a holster for it. It sprays 10-15 feet. If you have six coyotes surrounding you maybe that is the best.

Shit. I am never going back there again.

good. stay away until the problem is resolved.

congrats on snagging the 100 mary

I am going to head to bed. See you all tomorrow. I am going to dream about something nice like sweet blues music.

thanks. Second one and I wasn’t even trying.

g’nite mary — i’ve got something real special planned for tomorrow nite’s lln

Nite Mary

So what would happen if you called in the story of the guy in the pick-up truck? Would they send someone out with big cages or tranquilizing guns?

Yes, I thought it used to kind of calm down a little.

Ready for a little sleep have 9am Hot yoga class pushing the edges following the energy lines and powering it all with modulated breath like fuel injecton.

g’nite bb

i’m gonna head out early tonight folks. sleep beckons.

g’nite all and thanks for the music and conversation.

Not to beat a dead horse, but this is similar to the small purse sized horn I had. I passed mine on to a neighbor who was a talking head and had attracted an undesirable fan. I tested it once and it was loud.

nite suzanne

A way wit woids, youse has . . . DB . . .

I bow.

*bows*

Fried? About what?

1) Supremes?
2) Pelosi and HCR and no PO?
3) Obama’s SOTU, and it’s wonderous and glorious parts, that don’t match with the reality?
4) The confirm of Bernanke?

Damn Suz, there’s SO much to be HAPPY about . . .

/s

If three very large dogs can’t fight off 6 coyotes, something’s wrong with the dogs, or the story.

Is there a law that bars home owners from shooting coyote’s, on sight?

I don’t know these things, Mary, but damn if SOMEone don’t start shooting them coyote’s . . .

Then any pets are at hand.

Now, let’s talk about this, are there more deer, and are there more large cats, mountain lions, at hand, too?

And why has this coyote population grown, if deer are there (I know they are, I’ve seen them) then big cats will follow and coyotes are big cats feed, too . . .

So, the whole chain of animal rule don’t seem to follow . . . big cats eat coyotes and deer, coyotes are predators, but they are also prey for cats . . . . something don’t balance here . . . . when coyotes grow. Cats LOVE coyotes.

Somethings wierd about all of this . . . too many coyotes? Don’t compute, if there’s deer, and cats.

Just don’t compute.

I got nothin . . . . but you and him, defend your fort . . . .

And If ya need help, ask.

You shouldn’t have to to live in fear . . . .

A taser! Simple.

You gotta decide, you, your pets, or YOU, on the trail.

Coyotes hunt like wolves, they are dangerous, they will drag down and kill many creatures.

Including you, and your pets.

You gotta decide, Mary.

Kill them or run you off your property.

What do you want?

Ya gotta be a bit forceful, here, gal, to save your soul so to speak . . .

Or give up your pets, and walks on the trail . . . you, or, them?

No, no that won’t . . .

Predators like coyotes are herd groups, and they herd prey, and take it down.

Noise spray won’t deter them from finding prey, taking it down, and eating it.

Gotta kill them . . . like wolves, they will pack up and hunt and take out lessers.

Gotta kill them . . . . if ya want your pets and kids to live in the area’s where the coyotes run.

And if their population grows, and you do NOTHING, then you WILL get hurt, one way or another.

Yes. And in the meantime, find a way to kill the predator . . . . with our without the law.

6 coyotes in a circle on ya means you best have a gun, and kill them all.

End of story.

Well, this was sad . . . they all went beddy by . . . .
