Citizen Dog by Mark O'Hare for February 19, 2013

Lets all go camping! Come on, come on! We can have pup tents or cat houses!

I never was much into the camping thing. I much prefer being “one” with my own bed.

Good Morning, cleo, sugar, Fellow Baby & the rest of the CD gang!

I have no problem with camping, as long as I am not sleeping on the ground. A mug of hot coffee next to the morning fire is a pleasant way to slowly wake up.

Good morning, CDers!!

In a little bit of a rush today with appointments and errands all day! Hope you all have a great day!!

@icky mudd : I don’t want to hear anything about winter storms, I.M. !!!! I’m thinking SPRING! only.

Stel ol’ bel, did you ever get a chance to sweep the floor in the filing room?

It is a beautiful sunny day here in the PNW.Good morning to all of the connected Citizens of Dog.

Good Morning Grog, Dry & all CDers out there.

A cell phone is a very important safety device on a boat, you might need to call the Coast Guard.

Someone’s in trouble, and for once, it isn’t me! :-D

Good late sfternoon Fellow Baby, cleo, sugie and also icky, WoodEye, nighthawks, happy and Stel O’ Bel!

If I have to camp, it better be in one of those “fancy dan” campers with ALL the luxiries of home!

Fellow Baby, check out my comment at OB!

I just saw it, Fellow Baby.

Icky Mudd- ANOTHER storm? Who’s idea was that?

I’ve camped in a national park, but never gone to kiddy camp.

I thought we had a bear outside the tent. Turned out to be a squirrel. One with ATTITUDE.

Hi Citizen’s of Dogs and tech savvy campers.

Machine gun Shika is in the…camp.

Campy Shika reporting for duty, Grog!

Well, you’re no sad sack or Beetle Bailey, Shika.

Of course Beetle can sleep just about anywhere. I can’t say the same.

I’m somewhere between Miss Blips and Miss Buxley Grog. lol

Although I can sleep like Beetle Bailey when the mood hits me.

What are you watching tonight Grog?

I remember Sad Sack from my youth, but I have not seen a strip in such a long time.

Thanks for the big hug Jkiss. I needed that. I may need more in the coming weeks.

I’ve heard of Sad Sack, but I can’t say I remember what he looks like, Grog.

Since tonight is like Sunday for me, Shika, tonight is my Star Trek night. 4 STNG and one original series for the night cap.

Why is tonight like Sunday for you Grog?

Which do you prefer? Star Trek, or STNG?

Neither can I, Shika. I may have had one of the comic books when I was a kid, but I no longer have it or the memory of the characters.

I knew one of the actors in STNG. I met him at a Gospel event and then a few times in person. He also played Simba’s dad in Lion King years ago when it was live theater.

Well, I just looked him up and I’m no further ahead. My dad must have read him and told me about it.

Star Trek, followed by Voager followed by Enterpirse. STNG is dead last. DS9 is not in my collection with the exception of a follow up on the the original Trouble With Tribbles as a bonus feature to the original series collection, I believe.

I mispelled Voyager.

If STNG is dead last, why watch it?

At the time, it was the newest form of Star Trek. Many of the shows were good and interesting in the early going. Voyager started off slow, but finished strong. I feel the same way about Enterprise. it finished strong and didn’t have as many duds. Voyager became a lot more interesting with the addition of 7 of 9.

I only watch one of the DS9 series. I really did not like it at all.

I don’t blame you. No sense wasting time on a show you hate. It makes sense to watch the first ones to see how they are.

I don’t have any favorite shows, except the early sitcoms. When I was younger, shows like Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock interested me.Also Perry Mason, come to think of it. Ironside, not so much.

I didn’t like Perry Mason, but I’ve got all the original Twilight Zone and recently purchased the first 3 seasons of Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

When my mohair died back in ‘05, Voyager and Alfred Hichcock Presents occupied my sleepless nights/early morning hours while I was settling Mom’s estate.

That’s mother!

Cool. You’ve been watching Twilight Zone a while, haven’t you? Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and his movies were fun to watch.

I wondered how your mohair died, lol Moths?

I can just imagine sleepless nights, although I never had to settle my dad’s estate by myself, and my mother is still alive.Did you read last night that my friend’s mother died suddenly last night? She emailed to say that her mom was not well. An hour later, she was dead. I still don’t know when the funeral is yet.

Family deaths are never easy. I feel for those who have lost both parents. They say it is a very lonely feeling, as we all here know now.I am dreading that day. My mother is 87 years old.

Guess I’d better get my dishes done and start to get ready for bed. How about you Grog? Have you started watching the original Star Trek?

I haven’t seen all those. But I did see some. Did he do the Pit and the Pendulum, or is that Edgar Allen Poe? A\lso, The Telltale Heart, among others. I used to read those stories and scare my self silly.

May favorite Hitchcock movies were the earlier ones like The 39 ?Steps, the original Man Who Knew Too Much, Suspicion, Saboteur, Rebecca, Stranger On A Train, Notorious, Jamaica Inn, Sabotage and _Secret Agent.

All classic movies Grog.

I actually never did check out yesterday’s comments, Shika. Sorry for your friend’s mother. I hope at least that your mother is still is in good health. Mine died at 79.

Are you off tomorrow?

Nope. Back to the salt mines tomorrow.

Ouch. Those salt mines hurt. I just have a meeting tomorrow, then off to the hospital to visit my friend.I’m going to get ready for bed now. It’s been nice talking to you Grog. Have a good night’s sleep.

Good Night Grog!

Good night, Shika. I expect I’ll also be turning in before 9 my time.

Hi JP Steve It is never too late for me to pull a Shika. However, I’ll log off soon.Thanks for the “Sad Sack” drawing. He sure looks sad!

We are watching “How To Murder Your Wife” with Jack Lemmon, Virna Lisi and Terry Thomas. I have probably watched it four or five times but LilG has never seen it.
