Schweddy Balls? - They Sound Delicious!

Keith Olbermann made me laugh out loud last night during his "Worst Persons in the World" segment.  The gold medal winner yesterday was the American Family Association, a non-profit conservative Christian group, that promotes "traditional moral values" in the media.  They have called for activists to protest against a new Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor called Schweddy Balls.  Schweddy Balls is Fair Trade vanilla ice cream with a hint of rum and is loaded with fudge covered rum balls and milk chocolate malt balls.  Keith suggested that the AFA might be more happy with a flavor called "Rick Perry's Nuts."

It's beautiful here.  We were under a frost warning this morning, but the temperature didn't drop as low as expected.  We had lightning, thunder, and showers for 90  minutes last night - and the weather folks were sure we'd see frost this morning - but I only saw wet grass, sidewalks, and asphalt.  Rosie and Remy were great today.  We met a youngster named Kinsey, who is being trained to walk correctly with her new owner; and Kinsey just get soooo excited (but also afraid) when she sees other dogs.  Our paths crossed twice this morning, and I stopped and allowed her to sniff the red kids, who just completely ignored her.  This is helping with her confidence level when she meets other dogs out walking.  The first time we met her, she ran behind her walker's legs and did not want to expose herself to either me or the dogs.  Now she licks Remy's nose and bounces on Rosie.  It's fun to be able to help train younger dogs, as well as convince the red kids that all other dogs are not out to attack them.  ....   Mocha is laying on the floor in front of the 'fridge, while Lovey and Nedi are running in and out.  I'm enjoying the latest Charlie Moon mystery (based in Colorado), and after it, I have three new (for me) authors to try out.  I hope that I like them all.

This weekend, CU plays away, so I don't have to worry about crowds, nor about fans coming into the building looking for free bathroom usage.  The management allows people to park in our unused parking spaces (one of them is mine) and charges $25 per car for parking so close to the stadium.  That's well and good, and I realize it helps keep our costs down.  But then we have these people looking for bathrooms and wandering throughout the building.  There are no public restrooms here - just our laundry room, and a couple of drink vending machines.  But folks seem to think that if we allow them to park in our lot, and picnic and tailgate and party, then we should also allow them bathroom privileges inside.  -  Nope.  It don't work that way. (And, yes, I do know that my grammar wasn't correct for that sentence - but I don't care!)
