donkeys, Republicans and ER
The year is almost over and the death of former US president Gerald Ford is bringing all sorts of secrets to light. Taped conversations from the former president as well as conversations with reporters that had not been made public during his lifetime are sure to have dramatic impact on many public figures like President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Kissinger and the events surrounding Nixon's presidency. It should make the beginning of 2007 very interesting for historians.
How do you like those eyelashes??? (you might need to click on the picture to see them clearly)
These two pictures are of some donkeys in SC. They belong to a neighbor of my parents. My Dad feeds them when the neighbors are away.
I went with him on two days, December 25 and 27th, to take pictures of the critters. The mini-ranch is about 15 miles away from their house and they have 9 donkeys and some chickens there.
It's quite surprising how little odor surrounds the donkeys. Other than the manure pile, there's almost no smell. I wish the same could be said of my nephew's ferret! That thing is soooo musky--but cute as the dickens.
I've finally started to watch this season of ER. I watched the first two episodes on Thursday and will probably watch at least another 3 on Friday. There's been 10 so far this season and I'd like to catch up by this next Thursday.
One thing is for sure, that is one hospital I'm very glad not to work in! Shoot-outs, people getting raped, frequent firings and sexual misadventures--it's nothing like the hospital I work in. Knock on wood!
UPDATE: It's 8:28am and time for me to go get some sleep. I stayed up all night watching ER episodes. All 10 that I had recorded. What a weird way to spend a day off from work. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

BTW, I DO have a dog.... Max. A rescue dog. He has lymphoma. Primary in the skin so akin to mycosis fungoides. He was diagnosed last January, started chemo the first of March and his nodules went away. He does have quite a few scabby sebaceous lesions popping up right now... not sure if this is a different manifestation of his tumor or just lesions typical for cockers. He is a spoiled rotten dog who loves to show off for anyone who watches him and fiercely protective when he is between a stranger and me. So far, so good.
It doesn't sound so good for Max. I hope it works out. Nobody deserves to be left alone with a lot of cats. Max is doing good work--I hope he can continue for a long, long time.
Those Donkeys are lovely. I have always had a soft spot for them :-)
You were right about cats btw - they hate change of any kind and mine takes it especially personally , lol!
Donkey's are adorable, but not as mcuh as llamas or alpacas. Alpacas are sooo cute.

HAppy New Year!
Have you ever checked out the eyelashes on a giraffe? Serious lashes..... :-)

Although I don't know much about donkeys or ER, I can weigh in on Ford. The consensus is that he was a decent and honorable man. I believe this to be true as well. He took the helm in one of this nation's darkest times - and I don't mean just Watergate - and held it together. He was in a no win situation and survived it with honor. Lessons to be learned?

Never was much of an "ER" fan myself. Isn't that where G. Clooney kicked off his career? See, shows what I know. :)

Poor donkeys get such a bad wrap when, clearly, they'd make excellent housepets.
Happy New Year from coastal NC, Utenzi!
My wife likes those hospital shows. Ever since my mom died, I refuse to watch anything that takes place in hospitals, myself.
Here via Michele today. Happy New Year, amigo.
have a blessed new year..

I have a love/hate relationship with ER I'm afraid. My ex was an EMT & watched the show religiously so I watched too. I thought it was good but a little too bloody & graphic for my taste. I stopped watching when the ex went his own way & never really got into it again. Though sometimes when I stop something I've been watching on dvr & the tv is on NBC I'll end up getting sucked into the plot of ER again!
I agree with you that the revelations being dropped with Ford's death will give historians & political junkies something to do until they start the '08 presidential race in earnest.
ER - I watch when I remember, but a personal marathon isn't a bad way to kill a day off. Me? I got season six of The West Wing for Christmas, and have been watching that for the last couple of evenings.
Well, that and shopping for perfume.
But I think I need a late night viewing jag to fully catch up.
ER is addictive. I have not watched consistently for years. But, always watch on re-runs.
HAppy 2007!
