I heard an elderly lady say this today:
"I think its crazy that they have the 4th of July in the middle of the week, they should move it to the weekend."
I just didn't have a response to this.
Update: I just eXperienced a veRy shocking episode in my life thay almost caused me to faint and faLL out of my kitchen chair.
I was almost finished eating my home-made chicken gumbo and suddenly a spoon came from above on the opposite side of the bar to take a test bite. It was my wife.
Now, you have to understand the ridicule and second class citizenship I have suffered, YES, suffered, from this woman who has complained almost every time about the smeLL of my gumbo. Everytime I have suggested she try gumbo, at home or in a restaurant, she vehemently answered, "NO-NEVER!!!", so folks, I am now living in Never Never Land.
She took a second bite.
I intensified my fake fainting.
She spiLLed a few drops on her blouse, but that didn't even begin to slow her down.
She was eating dangerously now, allowing the spoon to travel mid-air over a calculator.
So I moved the pan over the bar closer to her. Yes, I was eating directly out of the pan.
I took out my camera and shot a picture for blackmail and ridicule purposes. I can not wait to show the children.
I came in the living room to write this up and she yeLLed (mildly), "I finished it aLL!!!"
After she came in the living room I gave her eXact recipe instructions verbaLLy. Now, I reaLLy wiLL faint if I catch her actuaLLy cooking gumbo.

I quite agree sounds like a good move to me. Although it might confuse your dog with his days of the week training.
Rob: I agree that it would be too mooch confoochion for the pooch.
On some very bright news I am now the owner of another laser beam. This one is part of an infrared temperature sensor gun, model IRT206. More toys!
Yep, sometimes just a smile and a nod is all that is required. Happy middle of week 4th of July.
Tried to send you an email, cannot find your address, mine is fmcgmccllc@gmail.com.
fmcgmccllc: I sent you an e-mail at 11:54 and it appears that it had successful delivery, because that was a little more than an hour ago and I haven't received a 'non-delivery' message from your mail server. You should be able to hit the reply button on my e-mail and then also see my e-mail address. I think my 'send an email button' is active on my blogger profile page. Let me know if you didn't get my e-mail, because it might have accidentally gone to your spam folder, but I wouldn't think so since we have already exchanged e-mails multiple times in the past.
Are you sure you are not a William Shatner fan with all the laser beams.
We have one laser beam which is fitted to a squirrel scarer only it does not scare the squirrels. It appears the have mutated to become laser friendly (one day I will write a post on this if I remember).
Gumbo is a wonderful thing. I'm glad she's come around!!
