There are people who like dogs and people who don’t like dogs. If you are one of the people who don’t like dogs, then I’m probably not going to like you.
There is a difference in the character and disposition of people who like dogs. Dog people are good people, and I can usually tell upon meeting someone within the first few minutes if they are dog people or not.
Wow - I cannot believe that September has come and gone already. I have always loved the month of September - it’s a month of many changes and celebrations. Moving on to October means that the cool weather will be headed this way. The leaves will turn color and drop, the lawn needs cutting one last time, the squirrels kick their gathering into high gear, and at the end of the month we have little monsters cavorting in the streets and malls in search of candies.
This September flew by. It’s time to break out the long sleeves and jackets, and begin the hunt for the perfect pumpkin for my front porch. And after a long hot summer, it’s time to hit the ice rink and cheer for my ice hockey players!
Sad news that Paul Newman has passed away. What a handsome man, fantastic actor, and great humanitarian he was.
One of the movies that made a lasting impression on me was “Cool Hand Luke.” It really opened my eyes to corruption and brutality. I bought that movie in every form of media and watch it every few years to remind me of the gaping holes in out justice system. It is probably why I now cheer for the underdog in most circumstances.
Another favorite movie of mine is “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.” That was my introduction to Robert Redford and the two of them made a fantastic team. Again, me cheering for the underdogs. I’m starting to see a pattern here.
Thank you, Paul Newman, and God Bless.

But why does the rest of the country have plenty of gasoline - even though it is God-awful expensive? Can’t the tanker trucks from up North find their way to Atlanta? It’s just down I-95 for God’s sake!
People are starting to lose their cool. Some are taking guns with them to the gas station - not to rob the clerk but to ensure no one cuts in line in front of them to buy the gasoline. Tanker trucks are being stalked by drivers desperate to buy the gas they are about to deliver. It’s crazy!
Tension in a football stadium makes it ripe for rude behavior. The NFL has implemented a code of conduct for fans in the stadiums this year to help combat the rudeness and disruptive behavior of rowdy and drunk fans.
Stress is one of the four main causes of incivility. People tend to act more aggressively and are prone to outbursts that you would not witness under more peaceful and calm circumstances. The other three causes of incivility are:
