Another New Best Friend???

Saturday, my ex and daughter joined a bunch of us who had worked in my back garden on that beautiful Saturday for Pizza at Stellar's. Great place, by the way. Anyway, I asked the ex if she had received the phone message from me about the Ivory billed Woodpecker. She said enthusiastically that she had. And she had told all of her colleagues and anyone who was willing to listen about the news. She also got some blank stares. The best she got was a polite co-worker who tried to ask intelligent questions.

At the Pizza joint, a kid friendly place without being kid oriented, e.g. Chucky Cheese-esque, we gave the kids money to choose songs on the CD Jukebox. Ellie had chosen a song that made my skin crawl and Ellie's head rock quickly back and forth like she was about to rush the stage or join a mosh-pit. My dear friend, whom I'll call Sandrine the French Girl, said to her husband, I thought this was a surfing song? He said, "You missed the part of the band name, Butt-hole". They are the Butt-Hole Surfers. To give the poor woman credit, she is from France.

The same woman nearly died when both her daughter's like Rootbeer. Apparently, it is despised in Europe.

Outside there was a large dog. I said, "Is that a wolf hybrid?â"This pierced, tattooed fellow said, "Of course not, they are illegal in Seattle." I said, when where did you get him? he said there is a breeder in Northern California. The dog was about the size of an Irish Wolfhound, with yellow eyes and very skinny.
