On the transition from the Silicon to the Tanana Valley, from urban to rural life, and from working in industry to being a full-time student to working in academia. If you see your name or photo on this blog and want it removed, please let me know and I will do so!

Just because
I'm supposed to be working on my thesis, but instead, I am crying and shaking and clutching my sides over this:
At one time when I was a pre-teen we had goats (for the milk) and I can remember one morning when those "(¤)%/#W? animals had gotten out from their pasture. I was alone at home at the time, and it took me 4 hours to chase them back to where they were supposed to be.
When I was working on my thesis, I had the best ever-in-a mankind-cleaned-pantry. I had spices and cans in alphabetical order, my different bags of flour were standing there in strict order. I still sort things in alphabetical order in my kitchen - but I put up with loads of dog hair --- 24/7
I'm no longer as obsessive as I used to be, (I don't think...) but then other people may have another idea about all that. Just know that I really like reading about your dogs and you - you give me hope! I'm close to 61, but I still hope to live in Alaska one day!

Thank You! Oh man, that's funny.

LOL! Allmycke, thank you for your kind comments. I love having you as one of my loyal readers. :)
The last "Yah" boy is still the cutest :)
My favorites are the sheep (I about lost it when he DROOLED!) and that angry Eastern European yak thing!
I also really like that European thing butting back, what a personality the thing had :)
It took fourth try to post last comment, let's see how many times it will take this time :)
