To see what is in front of ones nose needs a constant struggle.George Orwell (1903 - 1950)
Buck Caudle called me yesterday to tell me there will be a breakfast get-together of retirees and workers at the Pekin Family Restaurant on Court St. in Pekin at 8:00 a.m. Saturday, March 8 (tomorrow morning). About once or twice a year those of us who worked together at the Cat Tech. Center in Mossville go to dinner or breakfast together and catch up with what is going on with each other. I plan to be there just so they wont talk too much about me.
 Jake and I went grocery shopping yesterday. Over the years we would put Jake in the back seat of the car and he would jump between the seats when we left the car and we would find him sitting in the drivers seat when we came back. Lately old Jake can manage to jump forward but cant seem to negotiate his return to the back seat without a lot of trouble. Tracey and I took the cargo net from the Blazer that is supposed to be across the very back to keep stuff from falling out when you open the rear hatch and we rigged it between the the two front seats so Jake cant jump up front. He is not happy about this turn of events ... but at least he isnt getting himself all hung up trying to jump back and forth. Its gotten so I have to push his butt up into the seat to get him into the Blazer about half the time. He always looks back over his shoulder like he is mortally embarassed. Its either shove him in or leave him home and I know how he hates to be left behind.
