We all ready have a house full of cats along with the one dog, and now we find that the one cat that has not been fixed is expecting a box load of kittens soon. My daughter brought the kitten home several months ago and the stinker got out and next thing we know she has gotten herself a nice round fat tummy full of more kittens. Just what we need around here.

One of our daughters called today a bit whacked out due to some paperwork that she received from her daughter’s school. Her daughter brought home some papers notifying them that bed bugs are making a come back big time these days, and some of the kids in the school have the telltale signs of bed bugs so they thought it necessary to warn and educate the parents of the entire school.

They also refer parents to a web-site www.bedbugsguide.com which is a complete guide to everything you ever wanted or needed to know about bed bugs. I think the school should be commended for being pr0 active to something that could cause quite a problem if not nipped in the bud.

Just heard on the news that cigarettes are going up again in Washington D.C. some time in the fall. I’m glad that I don’t live there for many reasons that could go on for a long time.

If you buy cigarettes in Virginia you will be getting the cheapest price in the tri-state area of MD/VA/DC, I remember buying a pack of smokes while driving through Maryland at a gas station and I about fell out when she told me the price, I seriously thought that she was joking with me and I started looking around to see people looking at me like I was a loony tune or something, I was in shock, close to losing it. The price was more than $1 more than a pack then one bought in Virginia.
