Currently, I am using the computer at the library to write and publish this blog. In addition to the spellcheck on their computer, there is a spell checker on the blog-host's server - and the two programs are arguing with each other, and sometimes one or both corrects my typing, even when it doesn't need to be corrected.

Zombieland - Heroes of the Apocalypse

Sarah, my older female dog, enters the room.

SARAH: Dad, you need to talk to Macky.

ME: Why?

SARAH: He's killing Firefighters!

ME: What?

SARAH: Can't you hear it?
MACKY: [From the other room]. Pow! Another Firefighter bites the dust!
ME: Those aren't real Firefighters. They are Zombie Firefighters on his game
(Regular readers of this blog are aware that Macky Rae, my younger male dog, is an avid player of ZombieLand™)
SARAH: It doesn't matter. It is still disrespectful. Firefighters are a very important part of our society.

ME: It's just a game,

SARAH: It teaches him bad habits.

ME: OK, I'll talk to him.

SARAH: Thank-you

ME: I'll ask him to focus on Police-Zombies

SARAH: No! They are an important part of our society as well.

ME: Farmer-Zombies?

SARAH: Where do you think food comes from?

ME: The store?

SARAH: Don't be smart.

ME: So which Zombies can he kill?

SARAH: He can kill the Dog Catcher Zombies.

ME: I don't think the game has those. It does have Postman Zombies.

SARAH: That would be OK
(Dog's have traditionally never been fond of Postmen)
ME: Hey, Macky.
MACKY: [From the other room]. Yes Dad?
ME: Focus on Postman Zombies today
MACKY: [From the other room]. OK.

Family Vacation - Macky Rae and Seafood

We are still in Pixley, but will be returning by the end of the month


August 2nd was Macky Rae's (my younger male dog's) birthday. As I mentioned in the last blog entry, Macky Rae loves seafood, so for his birthday we drove into Pixley (about 15-20 minutes from Uncle Theo's farm) to have lunch at Captain Jack's, a seafood restaurant located near the courthouse.
Actually, we had lunch at the Pixley Park. We went through the drive-thru and ordered.
Macky Rae asked if he could order. Since it was his birthday, I told him he could, so when we got to the microphone, Macky Rae stuck his head out the window and ordered the Feeding Frenzy
The Feeding Frenzy (for those of you who have never gone to Captain Jack's) is the family-pack special, consisting of 18 pieces of cod, fries, and cole slaw.
Drinks are extra - and you'd think something called Feeding Frenzy would include drinks. 
So Macky Rae ordered the 'Feeding Frenzy' and then asked if we wanted to order something.

"I think we have enough fish" Sarah (my older female) said. "You just ordered the Feeding Frenzy"

"That's just for me" Macky said.

Like I said, he loves seafood.
