Might work, but knowing my dogs, they'd just run off to chase the deer.

It'd be quicker too - I'm looking forward to seeing you emerge from the long jump pit in the Olympic stadium  .

Oh, I wish I could use machinery ... but then there's all that "explaining" I would have to do to the people up on the ridge as to exactly what I am doing with it.
This is something I'd really rather they don't know about. You know ... land mines and all that. Or ... getting to the Olympics that is.

Nooo ... don't do that on my account.
You know ... it might sound silly (talking about digging to China and land mines), but ... and I shit you not ... there was one time I was talking to one of the "officials" of the City of Horseshoe Bay (on the "issue" of my kitties), and he started quoting to me things that I had written about my cats from a bunch of sites just like this.
I think I had posted at one point that I had 19 cats (because I don't usually count Carolyn ... although I do now). I realized at that point that the creepazoids in HSB and the snobs up on the ridge actually monitor my actions on the net. Not all the time, but often enough.
So, now .. .more often than not ... I post that I have 20 cats, 2 dogs, and 5 pygmy elephants. Things like that. I don't happen to agree with annonymity on the net ... so, whenever I can, I just use my real name ... but as long as those bozos are going to keep tabs on me, I make certain that they never know why I might do something, and never actually see me doing it.
And from time to time I post my opinion of the lot of them (which is currently somewhere in the seventh sub-basement).
