first summer officially begins to bout the first full day of summertime. Summertime,
sum summertime. I couldn't be more pleased. That's a double negative, Jay,
I couldn't be. I am so pleased to have you back after you
have had the experience of againting you couldn't come to Los Angeles with your father
and me when you got the actually got the award. Yes, the Great
Sports. I went to the luncheon in New York and it was that was
my first time at the luncheon. It was wonderful. Yeah, sounds like
you caught a cold or there are lots of allergies blowing around in New York.
And having been there last week, I can tell you there's paul and
everywhere, not just there, but certainly a lot of it in New York.
But coming away feeling good about running into a lot of people that you
know, it's nice. You got to see Victoria Kielan, who hasn't really
been I haven't talked to her for quite a long time. I'm glad that
she was there for you. It was a nice Your father is there too.
It's a good thing to be recognized by those who are your peers in
the business world. And then, you know, the thing that's good about
the way we do things is that we all are friends. And sometimes that's
not the case with people at work together. Doesn't mean just because your work
the other doesn't mean you're going to be friends. But we are and that's
good. Definitely one of the unique situations that we are very fortunate. Yeah,
and indeed this program brought to you empowered by Progressive Insurance insurance for your
motorcycle. People be out there. Although after the treat William's thing last week,
I've never been. I've never been excited about being on a motorcycle.
I had a little motor bike actually that my son used when he was he
was in his teens, and I used it. It was you know,
But anyway, if you've got a motorcycle, then you get insurance. If
you're going to Progressive dot Com also boats this time of year. Yeah,
yeah, summertime, summertime on the lakes and on the rivers and then the
ocean, and those people that are out there on vacation right now. I
know a lot of people who already out a couple of weeks worth of vacation.
D there are v out. So that's kind of the way to get
started on a on a safe note, if you will, using Progressive Insurance
eight hundred Progressive and Progressive dot com. So the summer summer in the city,
there are all kinds of will I think summer song set the mood,
set the tone. And so the reason that we are celebrating summertime is because
the sun is at its farthest point from the equator. It's the it's equal
that's what the equator in the middle of the Earth. That's what they called
it the equator because it's the middle point in the Earth. So this is
our longest, the most daylight. Today. I don't know what the what
sun set is. Let's see what it is here today. Sunrise would be
about like four o'clock in the morning or something, and sunset would be close
to nine o'clock. Let's see what we have. I feel like after nine
o'clock because it was I want to say, about nine to ten and the
sun seemed like it was still up last time I was out working. I
was on a tractor at nine ten last night, and so it was still
night. And yeah, anyway, so we like it, that's what we
do. We like it means we are one day closer to winter again.
Ah, please don't say that. I'm thinking about how quickly time goes.
This thing that the acknowledgement. If you goes back to Celtic times, a
lot of them the cultures at that time celebrated by lighting bonfires to bolster the
sun's vigor and vitality. And of course it's the crop season, and we've
had here in New England, at least where I am on my farm,
the worst weather we've had for years in terms of it's great for having the
soils be moist. All the hay is thick and rich, but nothing's growing
fast because it's so wet and it has been cold. May was a really
lousy month. I still haven't gotten my corn all planet, and I got
to get that the soil is just kind of like drying out a little bit
now, the so but it was it's about growing it's about, in a
manner of speaking, acknowledging what the sun is all about, the idea that
we have nothing if we don't have the sun. We don't exist without the
sun, we don't exist without warmth. I'm not sure a lot of people
put that much thought into it. The Egyptian tribes used it to predict what
their annual flooding problems would be, and there are plenty of those in Nevada
and out in the Rockies where they had so much snow this past winter.
All that water, thankfully has been going down stream into the areas in California
and the southeast or southwest where they need it so much. They're not smart
enough to be able to capture water. Apparently it takes a lot of imagination
getting into Yeah, right, exactly, yep, exactly. So remember Midsummer
Night's Dream You ever read that or what? Of course? Yeah, that's
kind of a thing. It's it's a summer is a dream time, no
question about it. There was a religious holiday as well, and supposedly it
was the birthday of John the Baptist. I never I'm looking that never knew
that, actually, So that's good to have that good information. All right,
So the beginning with some in the old calendars, summer began the year.
You know, we have this thing we think the calendars something that's ancient,
and it's not really the calendar we use the more or less the Judaeo
Christian calendar. It wasn't even the Judaeo calendar because they didn't acknowledge that Jesus,
who was a Jew, was the founder of the Christian Church. All
of that. There's a lot of folklore involved, as I think if you
study religion. I did as a minor when I was in college, because
I'm fascinated with the religion. I don't I'm not a big believer in it,
but it's very interesting to see how people use religion as a manifestation of
what they want for themselves or a justification for what they do in their lives,
which is okay if it makes you a better person to help yourself.
But the religious stuff has changed over the years, as has the calendar.
Remember, man has only been walking around on the planet for maybe three hundred
thousand years or so. The planet is four and a half billion years old,
so can you imagine a calendar, this is the year of our Lord,
four billion five hundred eighty five million, two hundred thirty six one hundred
eighteen. I see why they restarted, Yes, right exactly. That would
be a little cumbersome if he wrote that on your checks, right right,
that I did. Okay, let's get to the nitty gritty this hour of
what's going on, and certainly the conversation about the ocean Gate is the primary
topic, more than even Hunter Biden and his foolishness. Apparently there have been
some noises detected as the search continues. One of the things that has come
to light, also OJ is that this company, with you know, the
problems they have at the moment, was the subject of a massive lawsuit from
an employee who alleged he was fired because he raised safety concerns. Now that's
going to come to the top of the heap as well if they but under
the circumstances, think about this, If you've got enough money to spend two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars for a seat, there are five people in this
submersible and they are gonna you know, they certainly with that kind of dough.
It would seem to me the people who'd be smart enough to check out
the company, and to check out the people who run the company, and
to check out what people have said in the past over you know about this
trip, about what you know. I didn't even know this existed, did
you. I never heard of him before this, Yes, And they've had
a lot of different successful missions they've they use it as a tourist thing,
but they also scientific down to gather more information. And even with every tourist
trip, there's video that they still capture different videos and send those, send
the image ry to scientists to continue to study the things that aren't even starting
to grow and the life forms that are down there. But the really fascinating.
I mean, everybody is glued to this story with time against them because
oxygen is pretty much set to run out by Thursday morning tomorrow. Yea and
yeah, and with the there's only so many vessels that can go as deep
as this one can go as deep as the Titan. Regular submarine would only
go to I think the newer ones go down and maybe fourteen hundred feet with
but eight hundred feet is probably the in the older subs where they go down
and then the hulls they don't make them, you know, the pressure at
the bottom of the ocean where where the Titanic is, Remember the Tannic.
Tannic is in two and a half miles of water. Yeah, so the
pressure against the huge, huge pressure against the hull of this ship. It's
you know what happens if you go diving and you go down one hundred feet,
you get the bends. It does a number on your head, number
on your body. So go you know, use your imaginations. It feel
like you go down that far in aso too quickly. Well that's one of
the things that apparently this vessel is supposed to have a safety mechanism that should
initiate and slowly raise this thing back to the surface, slow enough so nobody
gets the bends. But it's never had to be used, so they don't
even know if it's going to work or anything. But now with the sounds
that aircraft that can capture so far far below the surface of the ocean is
hearing these they're hearing these banging sounds at thirty minute intervals, and they've been
hearing them for hours and they can't pinpoint what is happening or where the noise
is coming from. But it's also helping them to kind of focus in their
search to see, Okay, what is this banging, where's it coming from?
Because it could be them. Yeah, well, the coastguards all over
this, as you might imagine, and so are other private entities. But
again there aren't many. There's not much. The tools they have available to
them are not really that many and hard to get out to this place for
hundred and thirty five miles south of Saint John's, Newfoundland. So that totally
good thought for those people on that sub. Keep it hot and keep it
cool all at the same time. That's something that Cindy Lapper has done all
through. She's one of the coolest. I don't know what it is.
I just love her. I always have. She's so unusual and I don't
know. Hip is not the word to use because it doesn't fit anymore.
But she's smooth and she's fun and she's quirky and she can sing and anyway,
she's been talking a lot about a particular part of what a lot of
people in her chosen profession talk about. My daughter actually was the one who
put me under her. My daughter still to this day and she's in her
late forties. Think Cindi Lauper is one of the coolest things on the planet.
She really is. Hey, yeah, she really is. So anyway,
she has not been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yet,
and so somebody asked her about it, and I thought her she's at
the Tribeca Festival, because there's She was on the red carpon fact for Let
the Canary Sing, which is a documentary about her life in her career,
and it's sort of like that from the Humphrey Bogart movie. I don't need
no stinking badges. I don't need a bad well, And that's a great
way, you know. I feel that way. A lot of people ask
me why I'm not in the Radio Hall of Fame, and it used to
bother me, but it doesn't anymore. I don't need to have them validate
me. That would be kind of nice. But you validate yourself by the
way you conduct yourself, and that's what she has done. She was always
counter culture. She always looked apart. Maybe that's why I like her because
I'm sort of an anarchist at heart, and who needs a badge. You've
done what you're done, and you're doing what you do. And she's been
different past forty some odd years. Yeah, and that's her point that she
made too of I don't need the badge. I just need to be able
to continue to do the work. Yeah, and she keep joining it.
Is a big advocate for different things and a champion, and so it's kind
of like she knows what she's worth and everybody else does. It's kind of
crazy that she's not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yet it is,
and she was only nominated for induction. She did, she missed out
on the induction, but she was nominated for the first time only this most
recent time. You would think that she should have been nominated so many years
before and even inducted already. Yeah. Right, Well, I'm looking at
the people who are in the current class for the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fames, pretty interesting names there, and wish them well. But again,
she doesn't need it, She's got it. I'm thinking about those people who
are in the sub and how they must feel so lost, whatever the circumstance.
If you're claustrophobic, my god, well yeah, she probably would have
been doing on there the person weren't claustrophobic, you might be now apply this
thing is so small that you have the pilot or captain or whatever, and
then the four tourists and only one person can stretch out at a time.
Yeah. Yeah, I'm looking at a picture last image of this thing before
it went down, for it went submerging, going down to the Titanic h
and so you look at this. Actually, there was a segment on the
CBS Sunday Morning News last November about this, not about this event, but
about the machine itself, and it was I'm looking at some of the video
from this, taking an in depth look at the process, how it works,
and took some of the There was a journalist that went down, and
the obvious focus was on potential issues. What you're going to see, the
emotional trauma. There's a there's a passenger that was quoted as saying he had
to sign a death waiver that lists one way after another that you could die
on this trip, including death. The mention of it is three times on
one page. So well, a lot of excursions have this where you have
to sign a wafer of if you get if you are injured or even the
possibility of death, you cannot sue them, your family cannot go after them.
It's kind of you know, one of those bail safes that a lot
of things do have to There are a lot of different things that you have
to sign those. Apparently it's been lost before the locator beacon it didn't work,
you know, that kind of stuff. I can't imagine you can communicate
that would be my you know, down that far. They have to have
had normal communications though with it. They have to be able to normally communicate
with it, like being up in an airplane, you know, the same
sort of thing. But just the fact that they lost communication with it about
what an hour and a half after it started to go down, but they
couldn't report it missing until it didn't surface when it was supposed to. So
it's kind of like they there was that inkling like something might be wrong,
but they couldn't do too much about it until it was officially missing and it
missed its resurface time later that evening. This is wrought with all kinds of
problems, and it's more problematic and going up, you know, going back
to in my mind, Shatner and the others that have gone up on those
various spaceships, they all have to sign those same kind of waivers as you
suggested, but there is their only seventeen bolts that seal this thing from the
outside. And did you see that video game controller like this, it's basically
a video game controller that makes this thing move. Somebody who had been down
and has said it reminded him of elements of mcgiver, the way that some
of the things are put together, or what skills you have to have just
in case. Let's see here. So there's a British billionaire named Hamish Harding
who is on the trip. Is a Pakistani businessman named shah Daza Dyewood,
his son is along, and a French explorer named Paul Ari Nargole. These
people, well, I guess the both the US Coast Guard and the Canadian
Coast Guard are out trying to find this thing. And if you look at
where, if you look at a map, it's up and you know the
Titanic went down. It took the Titanic. It's moved on the bottom of
the ocean since where it went down, but just off the coast of Newfoundland.
That was so close, and that's the other thing. You kind of
go back in your mind to the reality of the Titanic and how close it
was to being able to find land. It wasn't that far off at all.
But anyway, so it's a mystery. At this point in time,
I was noticing some other you know what happened When you start googling stuff that
come, you know, you want to know more about it. We all
want to know more about this thing now that it's right in front of us.
And so here's this is kind of a twist and something you can get
your mind off of the seriousness of the other reality. This is a fellow
during a routine dive who was working off the coast of Florida. He works
with some company that cleans the ocean floor, and so he finds an iPhone
that's still working in a waterproof bag. Imagine it was a brand new iPhone
sealed in the bag. It was in better shape than most of the smartphones
that you find around. I'm sure they find a lot of them, you
know, they're out there looking around on the ocean floor. They have to
be, because just people drop their phones off a boat. Yeah, things
like that. So this guy cleaning the ocean floor finds an iPhone. What
kind was it? Though? I was looking for that in this day.
I want to know what kind of a phone, which model, yeah right,
which generation isn't? Yeah right? I have an se and now I
have a new also a what they call what is it a mini? It's
an iPhone mini? And anyway, so, uh, here we go lots
of thinking about what's gone on or what does go on in these circumstances.
There is no doubt. Well, I'm just thinking there's a Gerald Gerard Butler
movie here someplace. Um it's yeah, or Jason Statham or something. Yeah
right, exactly, yep, all right, let's see what's going on with
Hunter Biden. But a mess. This is how does this guy get away
with not paying taxes, having an unregistered firearm? This guy is a j
E r K k k K and an embarrassment to his father. You'd think,
if nothing else, if he had any sense of self and family,
he wouldn't be exposing himself. If Joe's not involved. Okay, but how
do you I mean, I can't imagine that he doesn't know what's going on.
For God's sakes, they're always together in pictures, they're always traveling together.
They're always together. So you don't tell your father who was the president
of the United States. Hey, dad, there may be something going on
here that is going to be embarrassed me. Is going to embarrass me,
and I don't want it to embarrass you. He hasn't done any of that.
His father is embarrassed. It's embarrassing, and certainly all of the flailing
around and then your own child is not paying taxes. Yeah, yeah,
that's enough, right. Even if I didn't know anything else about Joe Biden
and not want to vote for him for president, this would have done it
for me. If you're not close enough for this son, you know,
I thought it was interesting, you know, all of the children that talk
about the children of Trump and what's going on with him, and how hard
it is to be the son or the child of Trump. And so I've
noticed a couple of stories the last couple of days Jay about how the children
are distancing all of them and he wants them not to be a part if
he does get reelected. He doesn't want any of them to bear I don't
know what that's because they who knows, they could have said to him,
an, we don't want to have anything to do with you because it's too
controversial or whatever. But yeah, it could totally be that we're on the
flip side, he's protecting them because people are constantly coming at him. But
he also had to witness a lot of people coming for his children as well,
especially Baron, who had no job or anything within the presidency. He
was a child when he was in the White House, and people were still
coming for him. That was just absolutely unacceptable and inappropriate. Well it is,
but yet that tells you sort of what what we're all about here.
There's so many people who are so selfish, as so angry, or so
full of themselves that they think this is the you know, we'll go get
all of them because Donald Trump, now I can't imagine that his children don't
know what's going on with him, and maybe that's why they want to distance
themselves from him. Maybe you know, they'll they'll issue as they all have,
I think, support for their father. But you know, certainly with
Ivaca, it's as far as he goes. And so but they're not the
people who are running for the office. Focus on the person who's running now.
I say that having just talked about Hunter Biden and his father not knowing
or seemingly not knowing, or they want to they want to kind of put
a shell around his father, Well, he doesn't know anything about this at
all. But also how often do people talk about their taxes with other people
to a degree A lot of things that Hunter Biden may be accused of.
I do think that his father would know, but when it comes to the
taxes, I could see how he might genuinely not know. But look at
Wesley Snipes. He went to prison for what three years for tax evasion?
Just for one year or two years of tax evasion, I counter Biden's not
going, yeah, hello, I want to know why Hendrew Biden is not
going to jail. I don't think you should go to jail, but if
it's you're going to be consistent, I think you go to work for the
federal government and all the money that you make goes to pay your taxes.
Willie Nelson had a big problem with taxes along with Wesley Snipes, and he
made a deal with the i RS to record an album about him not paying
his taxes, and the government got all the money. It was like,
I don't know how much he owed, but he got to like the government
trying to remember the number. It was thirty four million or forty three million
or something like that, but they made a lot of money. The government
got a lot of mine. I didn't make money, that's not their job,
but they they got a lot of money out of that, out of
that circumstance. And to this day he still is the same Willie nel as
an unabashed foe of the government. The way that it works, it doesn't
become you know, he's a counter culturalist. And that's why I go back
to what I was saying about Cindy Lauper a little while ago, and where
I am sort of a quiet anarchist. I think the tax structure sucks in
this country. Do I pay my taxes, Yeah, be grudgingly because I
don't like where the money goes, and because the law doesn't allow you to
select where the money is supposed to go. It goes into the pot and
it gets like the if you realized how much money I'm off on a toot
now. But I feel like this is something that every we don't just talk
about it. We shouldn't just talk about on April fifteenth, or you know,
the build up to when you're supposed to pay all your money on April
fifteenth, But where it goes, how much waste and fraud and abuse and
corruption there is. You know, we talk about how corrupt the government is
in Ukraine and other Eastern Bloc countries. Yeah, is corruption everywhere. The
corruption in this country is so outrageous, especially when it comes to the Pentagon
budget, the military budget. That's why I choked when the administration moved up
the number to eight hundred billion dollars for the military, when at least two
hundred billion of it, according to government experts, is wasted every year.
So how many people is that? How many people work sweat toiled, strained
to pay their taxes and the money is wasted, It just goes. You
might as well throw it into the toilet. That really I resent that,
and I think that that's what those people do. Anyway, we're off on
a two about taxes and stuff. Hundred Biden still should have to pay more
of a price than has been assessed to him at this point. I am
Robert Strickler. My wife Joyce and I have been married for fifty three years.
Certainly one of the really important things in my life are our children and
our grandchildren. I am essentially a writer. I've been involved in communications in
the media. I've been an avid fly Fisherman for at least forty or more
years. I've been taking Privigen on a regular basis for at least eight years.
For me, the greatest benefit over the years has been that Privigen seems
to help me recall things and also think more clearly, have a crisper ability
to remember and think through things. And I enthusiastically recommend Privigen. It has
helped me an awful lot. Provigen Healthier brain, better life. Robert Strickler

dealing in stories, and we're talking about people and things that are going on.
Everybody he's got a story, including Robert Downey Junior, who is opening
up about his year in jail. How many people remember what he experienced behind
bars? He was, he was, he had lots of trouble with drugs
and stuff, and so he's reflecting. Obviously, he's being interviewed a lot
because he's in this new movie about Oppenheimer that comes out I think in a
couple of weeks, right done it. First week in July, the Oppenheimer
movie comes out. I think it's yeah, yeah, anyway, so he's
one of I think he's turned his life around and done a fabulous job in
doing so, learned his lessons well if you will. He praised Jon Favreau
for being an ambitious filmmaker. Apparently he's worked on a lot of different films
with him, and the Oppenheimer story is one. Now we just looked it
up. It's a month from today, apparently. Remember though, when Robert
Downey Junior spent time in prison, it was in the late nineties. Yes,
yeah, he battled addiction quite heavily, and it almost seems like this
was one of the best things to happen to him, was going to him
right up, Yeah, it did. And a lot of people have a
hard time coming back from something like that and having such a successful career,
and he has truly proven that you can come back from every anything. But
he even said that when he was in court he was pretty much over sentenced
by an angry judge who wanted to prove a point, wanted to make an
example out of him, and sent him away, and he said that the
evil in the air at prison it was palpable. He can taste it,
I'm sure. So it's interesting because about the time this happened, he was
in the movie I think it was the second Fugitive movie, Tommy Lee Jones
and Nobody. He apparently was a horse's ass during the filming of the movie.
Very difficult to work with. Tommy Lee Jones is ready to shoot him,
apparently, just miserable to work with. And this was at the time
when he was so hopped up on drugs that he wasn't himself. He was
who he was at the time, but he wasn't really Robert Downey Jr.
So he right after that. As a matter of fact, I think is
when he was caught he was driving, wasn't he driving? He was under
the influence and that's yes, right, And then so he got the three
yeah right, yep, So he was his life has changed. And isn't
that what you want out of a rehab circumstance He wanted. He's a great
example of how it worked. He put his mind to it. Don't know
what he had around him for circumstances, but being in jail, Wow,
it's got to wake her right up, so good for him. So it's
great business time for Calidron. I would think the phones would be ringing off

What better way to enjoy than get out and have some fun. Take
a good walk with your dog. You're a pet, I don't know.
You can't take a cat though, war next time from the Pet show?
You ever take cats out on a walk? Who takes cats? Of course,
all of the cats I've lived walked on a leashan harness, And in
fact, really I would say a percentage of my listeners have taught their dogs
catch rabbit to walk on a leashan harness. Okay, good for them.
Somebody send me a question. Listen, what do you want me? Where
do we go with that conversation? When pets die, how are their remains
handled? This is something I read. This is LA Magazine coming back from
La the last time. When I was out there for the for the Graces
a couple of weeks ago, I grabbed the La Time. I like the
La not the La Times. I don't like the La Times. The LA
magazine that it's always interested. So there's a there's a section. You probably
know this section written by Chris Lamague and I think that's probably short for La
Meg. But I'm gonna I like the name Chris lamarg about that anyway,
when pets die in LA, how did their remains get handled? And so
that's I thought that was an interesting question, not just for LA, but
in general. What happens to a pet? Do they get buried in cemeteries?
I know that there's a part of a pet cemetery in Forest Lawn,
isn't there? Don't I remember that somewhere there. I'm not sure this one
at Forest Lawn, But you know, it's interesting. It's an interesting topic
because it depends on your relationship with your pet. Some people consider this their
their dog, or this their cat, or someone like you, or someone
like myself. This is my family member that has four legs. I have
Charlotte's remains, her ashes in the nightstand by my bed I have right now
alongside my desk, I have the ashes of several of my pets. And
in my night table upstairs where I sleep is my collar is my call.
But I caught it from the first dog I live with, Smoky, so
you know I have I have Charlotte's collar. I have her on the night
post that side of the bed by where the ashes are. I have her
collar, and I have her leash. Well, let me throw something at
you, Okay, I talked about this on my show. Are there times
when you're by yourself that all of a sudden you you you smell Charlotte or
daughter Kathy. That's very interesting you ask that question. Um, I was
changing the sheets the other day on my bed. Isn't it funny? It's
like synchronicity with my friend or yeller, the same sort of thing, thinking
about, um, what it is that that? What is there about that
odor? Or if that's what it is or that not fragrant? But this
the smell, the sense maybe that's the better word for it. That is
part of and you know what it may come from the leash and the collar
that I have hanging on the bed. You know, call me eccentric and
get online, but I just think. I just think it's it's in the
brain. I think that the are certain smells that you live with that make
you feel good, that make you calm and comfortable. For some people,
it's it's a certain smell on a candle. Some people it's a different smell.
For me, there are times, and I can't explain it, but
there are times I might be sitting around or writing my show, or I'm
putting a thing together in terms of whether dogs are away, the tell left
or right what that means. But the bottom line is sometimes that that that
smell will just come into my mind and sometimes the tear will come out of
my eyes, sometimes a smile, thinking it's something stupid that they did.
Again, I think more people. I think people don't talk about it,
but I think people people from memories of their pet varies from scent to sound.
Some people say they hear their dogs. I think I thought, at
first, after Charlotte died in twenty fifteen, I'd had her for fifteen almost
fifteen years, the urge to not have another bulldog. I was with somebody
at the time, and we adopted a Stafforde here great great, wonderful,
wonderful dog, and then she and I went our separate ways. So I
got Daisy. I thought, at first, I didn't really know that I
wanted to have another bulldog. But I am so happy to have this dog.
She's so wonderful. She's different than Charlotte, but yet she reminds me
of Charlotte in a very good way. And the love, I just love,
love love this little girl. Part of a dog is what's the input
from their guardian, and so of course she's going to be very similar to
Charlotte. My dogs will have similar traits because it's the way I treat them,
so there are certain reactions I get from them. I just think that
you never ever, ever, you know, you may forget certain people in
your life, but for some reason, they're so imprinted in our brain that
we just for most people, they just want that's our whole lives. I
mean, I can still remember almost and listen, I've had as many sixty
dogs, thirty cats, twenty two rabbits, six chicken, six ducks,
and two pet pigs all at one time up in Coble Skille, and I
can remember every single one of them. And I buried every single one of
them myself. Well, I can tell you that for cows, the cows
I've had over the years, there's some have been very close to and I
am now and they certainly hold that place. Not the same place that Charlotte
did and Daisy does, but still there's a closeness there, the human animal
connection in the bond. It's a fabulous thing to celebrate, and we do
