I had only 13 more to finish today. Ron gave me supper of two cheese filled hot dogs, which I admit I like better than normal ones, and a bowl of stew. I ate both dogs, and a third of the stew, which he finished. Then I tried hard to get into my Pink Palace unnoticed. No such luck! Ron reminded me it was 8 PM. Yes I replied, thinking I could bluff my way out of this. Scottie! Yes Ron? It is 8 PM! Uhm Ok what do you need me to help you with, does the cat need feeding or …
Ron: Scottie the agreement was 7 pm. Either Halo, movie, or bed!.
Damn I thought he wouldn’t notice. I was so close, but he is allowing me this last post before I have to choose. I think tonight I am so tired I will watch Picard. Everyone have a great day tomorrow celebrating what ever it is you do, for me any time I get to celebrate by eating I normally feel that is a win. Hugs, loves, best wishes. Scottie.

According to US News & World Report, Arkansas ranks a pathetic #45 in the country. Perhaps the “Best Gov” could have found more important uses for that $13,000 in the “Best State.”
