Miscellaneous Detritus Of The Week:

***We are currently out of stock on a handfull of ingredients used to manufacture our lotions and body creams. Orders for said ingredients have been placed with two wonderful local suppliers and we expect to take delivery of these items Monday or Tuesday. Please feel free to place your lotion and cream orders but note they will not ship out til Thursday/Friday.

***You can now officially call me four-eyes but only part-time! Over the last six months my up-close eyesight became fuzzy to the point that I realized it was not due to tiredness (I hung on to that excuse as long as I could). My long distance eyesight is nearly 20/20 (or 95% as the doc put it) but I now need reading glasses for computer work and reading. They should be ready sometime next week. No more squinting for me!

***I hope to do another bird trade this weekend. Still waiting for the details. Trading our last Lady Gouldian juvenile girl (orange head, white chest) for another girl that is black head, purple chest. Which will still leave one man out. I will have two pairs (one pair is already bonded) and a single so at some point I will have to find a mate for the red head/yellow body female. Susan, I see many transactions in the future!

***Hubs found a company through Ebay that does graphic signs for vehicles. I emailed them to verify what I had in mind will work (we have tinted windows) and am waiting to hear back from them. Hopefully soon we will have our logo/information plastered on the van’s windows!

***Gun Ban at Seattle Parks.
Really??? I would have thought this was a no brainer and already in effect in ALL state/city parks.

Not to start any debates here (I will delete any/all blog posts that are argumentative!) but I’m one of those people who think the average citizen (um..that’s you and me) have absolutely no business owning a hand gun. I am so tired of hearing about people being ‘accidentally’ shot…HELLO! Guns don’t go off by themselves…It actually takes a FINGER to PULL the TRIGGER to make that little ole’ bullet come right out of there.

If it were up to me I would arm everyone with a smile. Just think how nice our world would be then!

*** Boy what a ride that was yesturday no?

Balloon Boy is now safe (but he was not really in any danger now was he???!!!) but it is appearing, at least at this time, that the entire event may just have been a hoax. As I was watching it unfold yesturday questions kept running through my mind but I didn’t make any judgements until last night after the balloon came down….empty.

Things just didn’t make sense and it looks like the Heene’s just may be digging themselves a hole they may not climb out of. I can tell you this….if the entire episode was a hoax then I hope the Heene’s will have to reimburse the parties involved any and all rescue costs.

*** Another busy weekend. It’s supposed to be really nasty tomorrow (pour down rain) so I can play catch-up on the many things on my to-do list. Sunday is supposed to be better so perhaps we can sneak away to the local pumpkin farm.
