Government "shut down" last night...

Mainstream media is all excited over the government "shut down" last night. Have you noticed any changes in your neck of the woods? I think they could stay shut down for a couple of years before anyone in our parts would even notice, but I think that's a good thing! It means that the majority of people in my immediate community are pretty self-sufficient and don't need or want the government involved in their day to day lives. If only it was that way everywhere!

There is just something about an old dog that emits "wisdom." We've been blessed over the years to have some mighty fine friends, protectors, guardians of the kingdom and livestock, and most of all, "best friends" to our kids.
