“And don’t forget, If you see news report it to us.” That was actually said by a network anchor. Never mind which one. She was absolutely serious. And my guess is that most of the viewing audience thought twice about it. It turns out there are just a few of us, especially other blobbers, who care about the facts.
As it happens I saw a great deal of news today. It started early in the morning when I took Tyrone (our puppy) out for a walk. There were deer on the lawn and Tyrone chased after them, barking and growling. He did not catch them, which is good because he weighs 10 pounds and they were substantially bigger. But it was pretty exciting.
Whew, then there was more news. Probably I should have started with yesterday’s news. Tyrone and I went to the movies. He rides in his little canvas bag and every once in a while when the music gets loud he looks at the screen. He especially likes Indian music, so yesterday was amazing because we saw “the Hundred Foot Journey.” He gave it 3 Paws.
After the deer event we drove to the store to buy some potting soil. Then we went home and planted some flowers. Fall Flowers have their own style and if you plant different colors close together it is like a rainbow, with different shades of red, green, yellow, and blue. Boy, that was something. The whole neighborhood was talking about it…. I think.
After the garden store we went to a well known discounter to buy a hose. You see, when we bought the house we didn’t realize that the garden water was in two different locations and you would need a 1000 foot hose to water all the different plant locations.
Next, Tyrone threw up. When he was outside he ate too much grass and so throwing up was bad news, but news none the less. Let’s see, I did a laundry, called my cousins, tried to reach some friends coming in from Hawaii, made hard boiled eggs, and chicken & rice for Tyrone—since his tummy is upset.
Well, I called that network and reported my news for the day. There were no murders, or robberies that I know about so I couldn’t report that news. And they didn’t seem much interested in me or Tyrone or fall planting, or the excitement of the deer chase. But that was my news. They never said it had to be earth shattering or ugly. They said “news.” I don’t understand their immediate rejection, but as we say quite frequently when we hear something we didn’t know about…. Its all news to me! We’re just sayin’…. Iris
