Guest Blog Week: One, Two, Three, Five, Four
I had a very clear image, when I was young, of the path I was going to take. The Writer's Journey. More specifically, the writer's journey I would take, carefully laid out, 1, 2, 3, 4. It was a neat little trip. Very orderly. Very tidy. In high school, once I knew that yes telling stories is what I wanted to do, I decided to major in Creative Writing at University. Thus, The Plan: 1) Study Creative Writing. 2) Write A Book. 3) Get An Agent. 4) Get Book Published. (Yes, everything on the list was capitalized. This is Important Stuff)
And note the neatness! The tidiness! Note the lack of anything implanting itself between the end of University and the Glories of Publication!
I had a plan. It was very comforting, that plan. So I went to school, got good grades, wrote a few short stories, won some academic awards. 1… check. In fact, number 1 was so fun that I added 1b: Grad School. A Masters Degree and a chance to write a novel! I could squoosh 2 into 1b! Bonus marks for me. So Grad school and a novel.
Yet, somewhere along this path, I learned that writing was hard, getting an agent harder, and getting published even more so. But this was an abstract knowledge. Getting published was very hard, yes. You know, for other people. I had a plan, you see. It was right there on the list, number 4: Get Book Published. See? No problem. Obviously the whole idea of difficulty did not apply to me.
But, just to be safe, just to uphold the proper hardworking image, I got a degree in Education. A job! A career! But it was okay because I had my book. In fact, I had a few books. Peachy! Ahead of schedule. Here I was, just out of school, and I had books!
So I sent one of these books off to an agent and they said yes. This was good, and all according to The Plan. See? Right there, number 3) Get An Agent.
1, 2, 3. Neat and tidy. And then something funny happened, something… messy. We'll call it 5) Life. And 5, let me tell you, was pushy. It would not stay in line. It had to jump in there ahead of 4.
There were lots of parts to number 5) Life, lots of addendums, provisos and postscripts.
I developed a disease, Colitis. And then my father died suddenly and everything went a little dark. There were shadows I had never noticed before, the weight of light shrugged off and forgotten. In these shadows it seemed hard to find words, to gather them in and set them down in neat little rows, the tidy rows I had always loved so much. And then my agent died, cancer stealing her away just when she was about to start submitting my novel.
5) Life.
Yet I had just gotten married. I bought a house, started a family, left one career and started another, having decided to open a little bookshop. There were lights in the darkness. And I remembered, always, a winter day just after my father died. Snow on the ground, the air sharp as a pine needle on cold skin. And the light, this slanted light coming down and refracting off the snow, a clean glow rising like mist and lingering in the air. So beautiful it ached, a permanent visual echo lodged in my memories… and I knew this was something important. Even here, on the far side of loss, there was beauty and light.
I began to write again, thinking of that halo of light over the snow. I put the old novel away. It wasn't ready yet, anyway, agent or no agent. I'd rewrite it some day, but now I needed something new.
New books, new family, new store. New life, in a way, though forever tethered to the old. And now the process continues. I'm back at 3) Get An Agent. The list, now, is dirty, wrinkled, old. Well worn. I laugh at the Capitals. I know a little more about 5) Life. And, what's more, I know a little more about writing. The two are not unconnected.
It's a different plan, in many ways, a different understanding. Difficulty can apply to me as easily as it does to anyone else. Indeed, some have had it easier… though many have had it far worse. Yet that difficulty is part of my path. Perhaps I'm even better for it.
Still moving forward, full of hope.
And you? What keeps you moving forward on your path… or keeps you moving forward even when you're off the path? I see clean light on snow. I see it and know there's something yet to share, to say, to write. To live. And you?

As I sit here in a computer lab with 21 kids trying to type their essays I taught them how to write, I think your post helps me realize my writing is just as important. Thank you. (hug)

This was beautiful, Ink. I love your voice. Experiencing the bitter and sweet in life, and moving through it all with some kind of grace, will improve our writing if we allow ourselves to be open and honest. The work will gain the depth and meaning necessary for success. If you aren't published yet, I believe your success is imminent.

Beautiful post, Bryan.
Or perhaps I should say, Mr. Prime Minister? :)
This was very moving.
I struggle with wanting to give up the path at times. It's hard. But it's that very difficulty that makes me yearn for expression. It's hard that you - me - all of us, really - have frustrating and heart-breaking bumps in the road, but I believe it's those very bumps that make us the artists we are.
See? I'm too moved by your post to even give you a hard time. :) Shoot.
Beautiful writing, Ink. I know your talent will take you to some wonderful places. :)
- January 19, 2010 at 11:26 AM
The 'dream' is everything. I consider those who have one to be one of the lucky ones.
What keeps me going - the euphoria I feel when I lose myself in the worlds and stories I create. In other words, I write for myself and I love it.
Man plans and God laughs. I'm 47 and my list is also dirty and wrinkled. I too have changed course (several times) and now writing is my new dream. Isn't it nice to know you can find your true passion at any stage in the game?
Thank you for your remarkable post! And as a Canadian, I would definitely vote for you as PM --lord knows we need a new one!
- January 19, 2010 at 11:27 AM
Life is beautiful and messy and disaterous and miraculous. Thanks for the reminder.

I was so excited to find today's post written by my fellow Canadian (and fellow university student, and possibly one-time classmate), Ink!
This is a beautiful story, and one that should make us all sit up and recognize that there are no sure things in this business.
But fear not, you'll get there. I have that warm tingly feeling about it all.
And might I say, I'm not surprised in the least that you used snow in this post. It reminds me so much of home.
Best of luck with your writing, and I'm looking forward to picking your literary brain on the forums.

Life is a cruel bitch who cares little for the wants (and needs) of humanity, much less individuals. As you so poignantly relate, the journey can be harsh, painful, and unrelenting. We have two choices. Keep staring into the abyss, or pick ourselves up and trudge on. Kudos to you, Bryan.

Love this post. Life is so neat and orderly when we're young. But the amazing thing is that I know if I had followed my list, I would never have any pain to write about. Funny how that works.

- Kristine Overbrook said...
What keeps me going? My father. He had big goals, big dreams, but did nothing to make them reality. He was so afraid to fail that he didn't dare try. I can't function that way. I have to try. If I fail, I learn and am wiser when I try again. I've finished two novels and had a short story published.
If you don't try you never fail, but there is also no way to succeed.

- The Pollinatrix said...
Glorious! If I was an agent I'd take you on in a heartbeat.
What moves me forward on the writing path is that it just won't go away no matter how much I've ignored it when Life has gotten in the way.
I became jaded with The Writing Life for a while after grad school, but am now back to it, with much less angst about Getting Published.
I'm writing now because I love it and I'm good at it. I love noticing and drawing attention to the uncanny and ubiquitous connections that present themselves to me. And behold! The more I notice and write about them, the more they appear. Go figure.

I started out thinking I would spend a lifetime with writing and english, but changed course when I got to college. I spent ten years earning a degree in psychology, planning to go into some kind of public service.
Then life happened. Wonderful, exhilarating life. I got married and had two kids. In the quiet moments of naptime, I rediscovered my love for writing.
I've only been serious about writing for less than a year now, but it's become something I really do want for the rest of my life, regardless of what life continues to hand me.

I enjoyed your post very much. It rings so true with reality and my own experience. So much of the time I've been so caught up in #5 that I've forgotten it's not about the arrival but about enjoying the journey. Like those moments you mentioned when the sun's rays shine on the snow.
- January 19, 2010 at 12:17 PM
- Thermocline said...
Thank you, Ink.
That ole #5 pushes us onward, which, for my money, is better than stagnation. I started writing because I needed to MOVE. I was drowning in sameness. Now, I have a craft, insecurities about it, and disappointments from rejections, but I l-o-v-e love it. I am alive in the struggles.

Lovely post, Ink. Something tells me that #3 and #4 are in your not-too-distant future.
- January 19, 2010 at 12:32 PM
- Ink said...
Thanks for the kind words, everyone. And thanks for sharing some of your own experiences, too, as one of the things that has always made this journey easier for me is knowing I wasn't alone. Knowing that there were other writers on their own journeys, facing (and overcoming) similar things. It helps to hear how other people coped.
And Prime Minister! Sure! Vote away. As a corrupt public official I would be absolutely lovely.

Swoon, swoon, swoon. Your words are tidy, indeed. And elegant. And very readable. They pulled me through to the end of your post. And most blog entries don't.
Same: Life. Husband, house, children, other writing jobs (but none the novel), an independent editor telling me my manuscript is almost there. Heavy, dark doubt, still. I see the refracted light sometimes. Without the dark, though, I probably wouldn't even notice the refraction. So, I'm thankful for both.

"Knowing that there were other writers on their own journeys, facing (and overcoming) similar things. It helps to hear how other people coped."
It's the strength you get from these things that makes your writing better.
- January 19, 2010 at 12:47 PM
- Ink said...
Yeah, I agree. And it helps you not just as a writer, but as a person. I mean, I think that's part of why we're all here, as readers and writers. Stories mean something. They can touch us, can shape who we are or who we want to be. And that goes for the ones we write as well as the ones we read. But I think hearing others stories connects us, gives us something we can use and share. It's like a chain, energy passed on from story to story.
- January 19, 2010 at 12:54 PM
A wonderful post Ink.
For me it's being able to tell my daughter one day to follow her dreams and beleive in herself, knowing I'm not a hypocrite.
- January 19, 2010 at 12:58 PM
- Kristi said...
Bryan - I loved this! Like you, I gave up the careful order in which I thought things should happen. The craziness of life and kids has made me a stronger person -- and a stronger writer. You're absolutely correct that life and writing are interconnected. Now I'm all about baby steps. Best of luck w/ your writing and thanks for this!
- January 19, 2010 at 1:01 PM
- Terry said...
Ink, that was beautiful. I'm glad you're back at it, after all your suffering. I too have had terrible losses, so you really touched me with this.
I'm trying to get myself back together now too. My writing seems to follow my mourning, though. When I'm feeling OK, my writing is fine, when I'm not, it's slow going.
But after suffering major loss, little things like rejection, are no more than a mosquito bite. One good thing.
My new writing plan is less ambitious but still good. I just started blogging today. I thought I'd never be able to do that. Baby steps.
What keeps me moving forward are my husband and friends and my new blogging pals. I've met so many nice people in the writing community online. And hearing their stories and watching how they keep plugging inspires me.
- January 19, 2010 at 1:09 PM
Good post. Truer words, truer words...
- January 19, 2010 at 1:18 PM
My plan was:
1)study science
2) write book
3) get agent
4)publish book
In reality I went: 1, 2, 5 (life), 2, 5 (more life), 2, 4!

One sentence in there is an extraordinary piece of poetry:

- Matilda McCloud said...
Beautiful post. I always like reading your posts over at your blog, too. Keep writing...
My trajectory has been somewhat similar...creative writing major in college, long career in publishing (a writing-killer, I think), marriage and kids, loss of parents. I've noticed, however, that my writing has become even more important to me over the years.

A.R.W.: the quote if from John Lennon.
Bryan - Well done. Life does have a tendency to get in the way. But I know I could not write about love or loss if I had never experienced those things.
I will, however, contest your leadership of our home and native land. If anyone's going to become a corrupt but beloved despot, I'd prefer it be me. Vote early and vote often.

- Rick Daley said...
Great post Bryan, I think many of us can empathize with it. Except the good grades part (for me, at least). I was always much better at procrastinating than at studying.
I do keep pushing forward, though. It's not just that I am driven to write, but I have many good stories to tell, and writing novels happens to be my preferred medium. They are books I want to read, and to be able to do that, I need to write them.

- Emily White said...
This post has sent me into a quiet, contemplating mood. I, too, created a list a while ago and yes, Life got in the way at certain points. But you're right, life and writing don't have to be two separate entities. I needed to hear this. Thank you.

Thank you.

I'll echo the others before me: WOW. Such beautiful writing, such a talent and gift with words.
In my plan, writing wasn't even mentioned because it was a given, but I've realized that I have to fight to keep this obsession I have with words, even if it means staying up until two in the morning because it's the only time my children let me write.
Thanks for this beautiful post.

Ink, your words never fail to move me to tears - or to spit-choking laughter, depending on the blog posting! If there's any justice left in the world, your words will soon be seen by many, many more people. I have a feeling that 2010 is your year.
You have too much heart to be a corrupt public official. I know from which I speak, on this. I only wish that more of our leaders (pick any country) had your wisdom.

Prime Minister Ink...very well said. Love to hear you wax poetic....you even made me miss snow.
- January 19, 2010 at 2:59 PM
Thank you for the post. It reminds us to leave room for the unexpected. :)
My journey was and is different and yet just the same. I've always put writing aside with the goal to do something more practical financially for my family. I had a plan: school, cpa certification, work. What I didn't expect was for writing to continue knocking until I finally opened the door and allowed it to settle in my life. Now, I can't see myself doing anything else.
- January 19, 2010 at 3:04 PM
- Ink said...
Thanks again, everyone.
I was going to say that one of the key things to continuing onward was having, somewhere at the root of things, a deep confidence in what I was doing. Yet I'm not sure confidence is the right word. Commitment, perhaps. A commitment of self, where somewhere at the center of things we realize that this thing we do, the placement of words on pages, is an integral part of ourselves. Part of who we are. And then having faith in the value of that, in the importance of stories, whether published or not.
I suppose I always come back to that in the end, and I'm not sure I could escape it even if I wanted to.

- Jil said...
Lovely and wise post, fellow Canadian! I especially connected to the part about living and getting the most out of life to be able to write about it. Writing does make life richer, as every nuance must be savored and remembered to be used later. Even the bad things are easier to suffer through as your heart dissects them and then lends them to a budding Character.

- Marilyn Peake said...
That is absolutely beautiful, Bryan. I am crying. You are a true writer. Sitting here on an incredibly busy day, just stopping by to catch up on Internet reading, I saw the light on the snow, your gift to the world, stood spellbound, frozen in my tracks. You caught me off guard, tapped me on the shoulder as good writers do, tapped into my own experience with Life.
I've had the same experience with Writing. Yes, Life, #5 on your list, is messy. It vies for attention. It's a wild thing. Kind of like raising lions. You can tame Life or lions and have them cooperate for long periods of time. But, ultimately, both are wild and out of control and will demand your respect.
I've lost both of my parents and my mother-in-law to cancer, and two of my closest aunts to old age. Life is sometimes dark; but there is always light, even if only a pinprick of light shining through the deepest darkness.
What keeps me moving forward as a writer, not giving up forever? I'm not sure. It's just the way I've always related to the world. While part of me lives life, another part of me is always observing and writing stories in my mind.

Writing has chosen an excellent evangelist in you, Ink.
I have had many plans, none of which involved writing. Yet, early in life, my mother instilled in me her love for the language and an affinity for the craft. Only now, at 52, do I realize this form of expression speaks to my heart. I hear her ghost in my voice and and feel her firm hand at my wrist as I do what now seems to be the most natural outlet of my life's engergies. And, yeah, life keeps happening as both an impediment and a fuel for this work.

What a beautiful post. Thank you for sharing your ups and downs, and thank you to Nathan for seeing fit to put this one on his blog.
This post is a must read for every aspiring writer, and has made me realize that it's okay to put the old novel and list away if neither speak of who I am now.
I also agree with other comments in that #3 and #4 are likely in your future.

I used to feel like a phony. Though I had published books to my credit (non-fiction, children's), I didn't think I could be a "real" writer because I hadn't suffered enough. I clearly spent too much time studying long-suffering poets/authors.
Now that I've 5) Lived and 6) Suffered I might have something more to say...but less time and energy to say it. Ah, the irony.

Thank you Ink
That was an inspirational post and I have a few writer friends that are feeling a tad low with another rejection in the mail, so I will be forwarding this.
Life is something to be lived fully. The dark times only increase our appreciation of the good so we rise to meet those challenges head on. Experience shows us life can be even better after the dark.
Your post made me smile as it reiterated that as writers we are not alone when we sit at our desks creating our dreams.

Thanks for the post. I almost packed it in last December. I'd accumulated tons of research material for a new historical novel, written the first couple of chapters and was well into my stride. Then our house burned down. Everything was lost and I was crushed. Much of my research couldn't be replaced, some of it found in hundred year old books that were no longer available. But I think we writers are a resilient bunch. I can't really say what keeps me going. My husband says I'm relentless. I prefer tenacious thank you very much.
Prime Minister? Maybe. What's your position on the HST?
- January 19, 2010 at 8:29 PM
- Ink said...
If I'm Prime Sinister, I get to keep the extra HST money, right? If so, I'm for it.
And I'm sorry to hear about your home. Maybe the solace is in the words, though. And I have a deep knowledge of, um, basketball history. In case that was your topic. I hear Regency is out and 60's basketball is in. I swear I heard that. No, really.

I chuckled at your plan. It was so like mine. 5 interrupted me at age 30, with cancer, right when the editors began to phone. I'm back though, with a few new perspectives, hopefully more wisdom, and a lot more patience. I wasn't ready then anyway. God knew.

My life has been as messy as my high school Trapper Keeper. Writing was something I always did but never thought to pursue as a career until three years ago.
Your question-What keeps you going. I've been thinking about that. Determination and passion to have the freedom to do something I love as a career. Yes, that's it.
Beautiful post.

What keeps me going are two things:
1) prove everyone who doesn't like me wrong.
2) the enjoyment that other people that do like me or don't even know me get out of my writing on a daily/weekly basis.

This is so beautiful and it really resonated with me on so many levels! I too had the same plan! I'm stuck on get an agent and LIFE keeps happening all around me and the dream I have of getting to the end--getting published--it comes and goes, waxes and wanes, ebbs and flows. I never expected to have a bunch of agents love my work but not want to sign me. I never expected to be in literary agent purgatory for 3 1/2 years but here I am. Meanwhile I met the love of my life, started a family, changed careers, bought a house and many, many loved ones have passed and there have been other dramas and stresses. At the end of the day it's very simple. Plan or no plan, I keep writing because it feels like breathing.

Wonderful, wonderful post. #4 is definitely coming your way.
For me, I don't feel like writing is even a choice. It's who I am, and I can't help doing it any more than I can help breathing. I write every day, be it in front of my laptop or as part of my sons' bedtime ritual.
It's the "getting published" part that sometimes feels daunting, that life gets in the way of. But the writing is always there.

In a way, I feel I have 5) Life on a different list, a list all of its own with Life as the title. 1-4) are all on one list with Writing on the top. They're different plans happening at once.

I had the Same Damn List!
Including the same 1b and the teaching degree. And number 5 snuck in there just like your number 5...not colitis, but LIFE issues including a sick child and soon after, a freakin' fire.
But now I'm retreating all the way back to just plain old writing again. Some things for purpose, but many things for none at all. Just telling stories.
I'm 40 which is apparently older than a first time publisher's age, but life is good now and so I feel much younger and fresh and new.
Maybe we'll both get through our list on our own terms this time, eh?

Great Post, INK. It happened to me too. Life gets in the way, but we find our way back if we want it bad enough.

Life gets in the way, in both good and bad ways, but living life is what informs the writing and makes us better at communicating to others.

What a beautiful image, that halo of light on the snow...so full of promise...It echoes with another image I love - a famous song too - which calls for walking on the "sunny side" of the street...
Yes, writing is all about LIFE!
And congratulations for a wonderful piece of writing as I'm sure you know by now, having read all those comments! And all best luck to find a good agent (because that is what it is: a question of LUCK!)

What a beautiful post. You should be a writer... : )
It would possibly be better than Prime Minister of Canada, with a 'voice' like yours. I LOVE the orderly, with capitalization. I just had dreams, as young (but I now at age 9 that I was definitely going to be a writer). I am finding my way back there now, slowly. I hate for the dream to die!
- January 20, 2010 at 5:33 AM
I spent three years of my twenties taking care of my elderly father while he died of cancer. Somehow I also managed to start a wonderful career and marriage during that same time. Whenever things get dark, I remember holding his hands during his last hours of life, and I realize that nothing could ever be as terrible or as wonderful as that moment.
Thank you for a great post.

Really nice post, Ink. Whatever path gets you to your dream is the right path, because it's your path. You're right about Life and writing being intricately connected. To consider them mutually exclusive deprives both the writing and yourself. Best of luck to you!

This is lovely lovely lovely . . .
I could talk about how life gets in the way, how the dark sludges over the light thick and old and nasty, until . . . well until it doesn't because sometimes you just get lucky or maybe you just take some action, or both. And you think: never too late, never too late...and you alter your plans just a little bit - maybe not exactly as you thought, but kind of cool and great all the same....so, I'm smiling as I write this and that's good.
- January 20, 2010 at 9:34 AM
my list went something like this:
1. art/ study art /make art/ share it / make sense of life
2. fall in love / marry / have children/ a dog / a house
3. write a novel / write another novel / write write write /
4. dance and travel
5. laugh and be merry
6. dream / dream out loud
whoops, I forgot money. yikes.
7. money!!!! too! fitting in with all of the above.

Wow. Great post. I think I somehow got my hands on that same list when I was a kid. While getting my degree, I told people that I would need a day job until my writing career took off, but I held on to the secret wish that I would get published before graduating and never have to get a real job. Then, I graduated. No published books. No employable skills. Life is looming over me and now I'm in the process of climbing it.

Dear Ink,
Your post is beautiful, in terms of poetic writing skill and 5)Life. How do I keep going? Life tosses slings and arrows of outrageous fortune at everyone, interspersed with Kodachrome colours. I need a crutch, all the time, to run & celebrate or weep. I know Him as the Eternal Word.
He's a writer, too.

My list, started when I was 11, has disintegrated from being reread, revised and re-folded over the many years since that decision.
Life got in the way as did many health issues which, while giving me the opportunity to write full-time, has also dulled my enthusiasm for the craft. Now that I'm staring my mortality in the face (nose to nose with it, in fact), I don't seem to be able to conjur up the joy I once took in creating tales, crafting stories and committing them to posterity.
If there is one thing I encourage in my stepkids, it's to follow your dreams when you're young. Do wnat you really want to do before life's roadblocks leave you looking back at the derailments along your path and you no longer have the time to explore those branching paths.

Ah - to have such a clear plan. For me, Live was first. All my plans fell through and yet life carried on. Marriage, two boys, moving to the bush. Never ever planned any of it. Suddenly, I had a computer (no internet and none in sight). Could I type? What do you know, I remembered how. Now what? Like an avalanche, suddenly (over 10 years) one story after another poured out. And now for the rest of the story.....

So many meaningful stories. Here is mine:
Spirit all but destroyed at a very young age...I hoped, prayed, and I wrote.
Larger than life, homophobic, alcoholic, violent father who cherished me...I loved him as we all did, I recognized my creativity came through him, I dreamed of a better life, and I wrote.
Immature, frustrated mum who was cruel and funny...I laughed and cried, and I wrote.
Intense jobs. 14-year marriage that wasn't meant to be with a man who was abusive...I dreamed of time to write, time to pray, time to BE...and I wrote.
Finding the love I had always longed for only to find she had a terminal illness...I prayed for healing, I hoped, I prayed for time to love my beloved, and I wrote.
Loss of my beloved life-partner...I wrote.
Out in gay in L.A., not even knowing how to BE gay...I prayed, I hoped, and I wrote.
Finding the love of my life...the dream is not a dream anymore, time to write, time to pray, and time to love my beloved one. I continue to write from years and years of stories. Little publications along the way are now turning into real collections. Oh, yes, I am writing away.
Thank you for posting. Creative "Art Spirits," do not give up. Stay compassionate, stay strong, keep writing. Peace and all good things for you in creativity and in life.
- January 24, 2010 at 12:14 PM
I think I have witnessed the birth of an immortal quote:
I see clean light on snow. I see it and know there's something yet to share, to say, to write. To live.
That perfectly expresses "the yearning" that comes with those moments of perfect and painful clarity. For me, they are always associated with a certain slant and quality of light which leaves me feeling as if I have just seen truth touch down in that very spot.
Thank you.
- January 24, 2010 at 2:07 PM
Thank you for your post. As cheesy as it sounds, you really moved me.
I, too, had a plan. It was neat and precise and I was ready and raring to go with it. Let's just say that plan is currently in cinders somewhere and Life has moved me in other directions.
The only constant (other than my family) has been my love of writing. You post reminded me that it's okay to get side-tracked, plans don't always work. In fact, your post reminded me of a saying I've heard, "If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans." Guess I'm God's favorite stand-up comic.
- February 3, 2010 at 2:07 PM
I have nothing ... no painful story(at least none connected to writing) to talk of. Nothing came between me and my life-long dream of writing kids apart from those that will, you know, when you've ("voluntarily") spent 5 years in the pursuit of a degree of law and suddenly one day announce to all and sundry that you want to become a "writer" of kids books (I still get funny looks when I tell people that) but I have, after a lot of circumlocution, arrived here. Don't know if I'll ever get to No. 4 but life ... yeah, we're ready for that! Now if only I could move beyond the "dream" stage ... sigh ...
Oh, by the way, almost forgot ... beautiful post! You have my vote for Canada's Prime Minister too! :) At least the government resolutions will be fun to read! :D

"When the rail line is completed, Denver will be the easiest, most convenient and most central meeting location in the nation," said Richard Scharf, president & CEO of VISIT DENVER, The Convention & Visitors Bureau. "The city is just 340 miles from the exact center of the Continental U.S., closer to the exact center than any city our size. We are served by the fifth busiest airport – 11th busiest in the world – and we will have easy and fast rail service directly from the airport to our walkable downtown. Once downtown, meeting delegates will find 9,000 hotel rooms, 300 restaurants, great shopping, nightlife and a wide variety of cultural attractions and museums, all in a safe, pedestrian-friendly environment just a few minutes walk from the state-of-the-art Colorado Convention Center," Scharf said.
The new South Terminal Redevelopment Program at Denver International Airport will complete the original vision of the facility. In addition to the new hotel and Public Transit Center, the Program will build an open-air plaza, complete with new concessions and leasable space, which connects the development to the existing Jeppesen Terminal. Denver household names such as the Tattered Cover Bookstore, Elway's restaurant and the farm-to-table restaurant Root Down will be moving into the airport shortly, and dozens of new shopping and dining experiences are expected to be added over the next few years.
At the Union Station end of the rail line, downtown Denver is also undergoing a transformation. The station is being refurbished and turned into a retail and dining center with a 130-room hotel, that will be an extension of the historic Oxford Hotel, as well as new restaurants and shops. A new city park will be built in front of the station, that will also serve as a farmer's market and events center. Rail lines from Union Station will also extend to the Denver Tech Center, to Golden 12 miles to the West and ultimately to Boulder. They are all part of Denver's new 120-mile light rail and commuter rail network.
Last week's construction milestone involved transferring the weight of the iconic Jeppesen Terminal tent roof to temporary support structures. The design of the South Terminal Redevelopment Program will complement the airport's tent architecture, which has been likened to a Native American tipi on the plains or to the distant snowcapped Rocky Mountains.
This construction milestone comes just shortly after the airport announced three new international nonstop flights to Tokyo, Mexico City and Reykjavík. These flights allow Denver to be accessible to many more Asian, European and South and Central American cities through their connecting flights.
About Denver International Airport (DEN)

Two killed in rollover crash on I-90 west of Drummond
MISSOULA, Mont. - Montana Highway Patrol troopers have confirmed that two people are dead following a rollover crash on I-90, west of Drummond, and east of Missoula. The rollover occurred in the area of mile marker 138.
Authorities have not yet identified the deceased. Troopers tell NBC Montana an SUV veered off into the median, then overcorrected and rolled.
Authorities say both occupants of the vehicle were ejected, and the vehicle appears to be from Colorado. The victims did not appear to be wearing seatbelts.
One trooper tells NBC Montana that an Army medic and a doctor drove by the scene of the crash, and stopped and tried to help out. Traffic was delayed on the Interstate for at least 30 minutes near the scene of the crash.
Officials are still investigating, and it is not yet clear if alcohol or speed were factors in the crash.

Marine climate change impacts
Annual Report Card 2010-2011
The 2010-2011 MCCIP Annual Report Card provides the very latest updates on how climate change is affecting our seas. Almost 100 scientists from 40 leading UK science organisations contributed to this report card, making it our most comprehensive to date. New topics on air-sea carbon exchanges, deep sea habitats, waterbirds and human health are introduced, along with a UK regional seas impact map. This report card also takes a first look at how the UKCP09 climate projections might aid our understanding of future marine climate change impacts.
'Healthy oceans matter and they matter because they are vital to our health, to our prosperity, to our security, and also to our ability to adapt to climate change'
Dr Jane Lubchenco, US Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere and Administrator of NOAA.
Here are just some of the new findings in the 2010-2011 Annual Report Card
- Temperatures are generally increasing, but inter‑annual variability is high; 2008 UK coastal sea surface temperatures were lower than the 2003-2007 mean.
- Some fish distributions have moved northwards over the past 30 years by distances ranging from around 50 to 400km, with coldwater species such as monkfish and snake blenny moving the furthest.
- Climate change has contributed to a decrease by approximately 9% in the total number of seabirds breeding in the UK between 2000 and 2008. Breeding success has also declined overthe same period.
- Increasing sea temperatures may have the potential to increase the geographic range of some harmful algal bloom species associated with Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) events.

Shitreet, for his part, is a longtime Likud centrist, himself from the south, a decent man who supported the Oslo process, and joined Kadima to back Sharon's withdrawal from Gaza. He is now calling for leveling neighborhoods from which Qassam rockets originate—albeit, after warning their inhabitants to clear out. Tzahi Hanegbi, the chairman of Kadima and head of the Knesset's Foreign Policy and Security Committee, spoke on Israeli radio Monday morning. The proper response is a full-scale war, like the one Shitreet hinted at—and not some dithering invasion like the belated one against Hezbollah in the summer of 2006, he said.
Even Haim Ramon, Olmert's closest adviser in the cabinet—somebody who's said in the past that he opposes this kind of action—is telling the press that the combination of steps against Hamas in Gaza will bring an end to the Hamas regime in Gaza. "It might take a few months," Ramon said, "but the Hamas regime in Gaza will not last." As for the rightist opposition, there is support for invasion wall-to-wall.
PRESUMABLY, A MILITARY operation would root out Hamas and destroy terrorist cells—surgery followed by chemotherapy. Israel would enter Gaza in force and engage Hamas fighters on the ground. It would kill as many Hamas leaders as it could find and destroy the factories that make the rockets. Israel would then allow, even encourage, donor nations to invest in rehabilitating Gaza infrastructure. And in that context, Hanegbi concluded, Israel would probably agree to a sizable multi-national force, like the one in southern Lebanon, to enter Gaza and monitor the cease-fire. Which raises a question. Why not try to get to a general cease-fire and multi-national force without the intervening bloodbath? Hamas, as it happens, has been asking for exactly this. To entertain the question, so the argument goes, is to overlook how Hamas is bent on Israel's destruction, with Iran's backing, and would use the time to get even stronger. Fine. Leave aside Hamas's aims, which seem more nationalist than jihadist to my Palestinian friends, and stick to the strategic problem. Hamas would of course use the time to increase its capabilities. But the same could be said about Hezbollah in the north, which Israel has concluded a cease-fire with. Nobody imagines that either Hamas or Hezbollah, even strengthened, would ever dream of successfully invading Israel. Their threat is the pain inflicted by their rockets, which a reciprocal cease-fire would stop.There are a few other things advocates of an invasion are overlooking. Attacking Gaza cannot root out Hamas any more than attacking in south Lebanon rooted out Hezbollah. When guerrillas are the product of a broad based resistance to occupation, and they have nothing to offer but a fight to the finish, attacking them only strengthens them. They throw sucker punches all the time. Besides, Hamas leaders can go underground or escape to Egypt; if you manage to kill them, they will quickly be replaced. How long did it take for Ismail Haniyeh to replace the assassinated Abdel Aziz Rantisi?
The rocket factories will never be shut down, anymore than the tunnels to Egypt will be closed. The only way Israel could ever make a difference on this score is if it would reoccupy Gaza block by block; this would only make Israeli soldiers sitting ducks for suicide bombers. The soldiers could then do what Shitreet says, what enraged people dream of doing, which is to level every block fire is coming from. This is exactly what rightist leader Rehavam Zeevi, himself eventually assassinated in the mounting violence, said at the beginning of the Al-Aqsa Intifada in 2000.
But then you'd have to start leveling virtually all the housing stock in the Gaza Strip. You'd almost certainly have to maim hundreds of children like Oshri, whose torment would be played again and again on televisions around the world. How long, in that case, could such a sickening operation continue? How long, if it did continue, would Abbas's government survive in the West Bank without repudiating peace negotiations? Abbas, after all, is claiming to be negotiating with a proxy from ordinary Gazans who, in their desperation, will see him as a collaborator. Then again, how long could the Egyptian peace treaty survive an invasion? How long before Hezbollah opened a second front in the north? How long before the boards of global companies started steering investments away from Israeli companies?
BUT THE BIGGEST thing Shitreet is overlooking is that the soldiers who will be ordered into Gaza are children, too. So are those who will happen to be walking near a Hamas commander when the helicopter gunship blows him apart. So, probably, will be the Hamas commander. And so will be the thousands of "wanted militants" whom the army will detain in its various sweeps. Fifteen year-old Mohammed Salem Al-Harbawi from Hebron is a case in point. According to the Defense for Children International, he was arrested in the beginning of July of 2003 and taken to Atzion detention centre. Like many other prisoners, the report continues, Al-Harbawi was visited by a lawyer, but was unable to see or communicate with his family: The unhygienic conditions in this centre mean that most inmates, including Mohammad, have contracted skin diseases, including boils. By July 28, 2003, Mohammed was affected so badly that he was taken for hospital treatment. After the doctor had examined him, Israeli border guards took him back to the prison. On the way, the guards stopped the jeep and started to attack him inside the vehicle. The five guards beat him to such an extent that he lost consciousness. I stumbled over this report of his stay in prison when I Googled Al-Harbawi's name. Last Monday, now a child of 20, he blew himself up, along with Lyubov Razdolskaya, 73, in the streets of Dimona, which precipitated the intensified wave of targeted killings, which prompted the intensified Qassam barrage, which wounded Oshri Twito.

text: Almost agree with this, but the scenario stated he made inside the house. My agreement with AZG23 is based on the fact I've already pulled my weapon, he had two directions to go...one is out, the other is in....two "different" directions. The direction toward my inner house results in me shooting. Now...he's already in the house...I have to agree with obvious giving chase to clear my house...assuming everyone pretty much follows a same routine daily, I should know where my family is most likely to be inside. I start there first. If lucky enough to find them alone and unharmed, then it is a matter of a "tactical retreat" to get them to sanctuary....if in a neighborhood, that might be a neighbor.....if in country, then I would go for the vehicle, and clear them from the area....let my family go for help/911 call. I would probably remain on the property, outside the house, and wait for an attempted exit by the BG (In Texas, I can still shoot the *******). If however, there are more guns in the house (yep!), then I'd probably make darn sure I had cover, but would definitely not try to re-enter until the Calvary arrived.Originally Posted by AZG23

Kentucky House Bill 399, simply put, would amend the Kentucky Constitution to allow the General Assembly to confer cities and counties in the commonwealth with the right to levy local sales and use taxes. Any local option tax coupled with specific local uses will be popular. The sales and use tax in Kentucky currently stands at 6 percent. We are about average for the 50 states. Recent polls have shown that a majority of Kentuckians support local option sales and use taxes when the tax dollars are attributed to specific local projects like schools or public works.
Expanding the sales and use tax is not the way to increase state revenue or fund specific local projects. Income tax, while obligatory, and therefore unpopular, is capable of being graduated. The result is a tax that proportionately taxes individuals based on their means. Consider for a moment the number of families in our state spending 100 percent of their income every year. If we increase sales and use tax by 1 percent these Kentucky families will all receive 1 percent less goods or services from spending "disposable" income. In this way, sales and use taxes deprive middle- and lower-class families of the spending power of their dollar.
Increasing revenue through measures that shift the tax burden to the middle class should be avoided. Sales tax is a flat tax. The result is that the same tax rate is paid by a single mother buying clothing and school supplies as someone buying a luxury sedan. Our current state income tax is barely graduated as earnings between $8,000 per year and $75,000 per year are taxed at a rate of 5.8 percent and any earnings over $75,000 per year are capped at a tax rate of 6.0 percent. Payroll tax for the City of Paducah is a flat 2.0 percent whether you make $10,000 a year or $100,000 a year. Our state and local legislators should consider expanding our tax base in areas that do not so directly impact middle-class families.

NLG Legal Observers targeted by police in Arizona
Roxana Orrell, a lawyer and executive officer with the National Lawyers Guild (NLG), was arrested Thursday in Phoenix while acting as an NLG Legal Observer for a group of individuals protesting the immigration policies of Sheriff Arpaio. Observers of the arrest indicated that Sheriff's Deputies appeared to target Orrell, who was standing behind the crowd and videotaping the arrest of Sunita Patel, another Legal Observer.
"The arrest of the Guild Legal Observers is just a continuation of Arpaio's campaign of harassment," said Carol Sobel, co-chair of the Guild's Mass Defense Committee. "Apparently, Arpaio thinks that if he arrests the Legal Observers, no one will be there to witness his unlawful actions. We have been arrested, shot with projectiles, hit with batons and pepper-sprayed at protests from Washington, D.C. to Miami to Los Angeles and we are still here to document misconduct."
Sheriff Arpaio had announced he would conduct sweeps as part of his campaign to target and terrorize immigrant neighborhoods, regardless of the federal court's injunction issued the prior day against SB 1070. In response to Arpaio's plans, a group of demonstrators protested outside the Sheriff's building. As they were gathered in the area, a garage door opened and officers in riot gear came out from the building. The officers arrested one woman closest to the entrance to the building, and then reached into the crowd to snatch Orrell.
Brett Beeler, a UCLA law student, witnessed the entire event. He was approximately five feet from Orrell and Patel when they were grabbed. Beeler saw numerous individuals standing closer to the police, but believes that the deputies targeted Orrell and Patel because they were wearing the green Legal Observer hats.
The two NLG Legal Observers have been charged with obstruction of a highway and failure to obey a lawful order. They are expected to be arraigned late Thursday night. Numerous other protesters have also been unjustly arrested, and a lack of available translators has caused delays in processing.
The National Lawyers Guild deployed Legal Observers in Phoenix for the large protests against SB 1070 in April and May 2010 as part of its Mass Defense Committee. Last week, the National Lawyers Guild trained approximately two dozen local activists in Phoenix to participate in the program. Orrell was heading the effort this week. For each of the major demonstrations in Phoenix this year, the NLG has provided law students, lawyers, and legal workers to ride the buses from Los Angeles with the immigrant workers coming to protest.
The National Lawyers Guild, founded in 1937, is the oldest and largest public interest/human rights bar organization in the United States. Its headquarters are in New York and it has chapters in every state.

Casual Showroom Opening, Expansion at Merchandise Mart
July 14, 2014,
Merchandise Mart to Offer New and Expanded Showrooms for Chicago Market
CHICAGO-Parker James will open its first U.S stand alone showroom in Suite 1586 at The Merchandise Mart in time for the International Casual Furniture & Accessories Preview Show July 15-17. Also, Zuo Modern Contemporary will open a new showroom in Suite 15-101, a space about double the size of its former space.
"With the opening of the new showroom, Parker James is excited to have our own identity within the Chicago Merchandise Mart," said Harold Hudson, president of Parker James. "For the last 10 years Parker James was displayed inside the Summer Classics Showroom and since our business model is different from Summer Classics, we needed to have our own space. The Chicago Merchandise Mart allows us a forum to display our products and they have assembled a great team to help us achieve that objective."
"Our ability to attract new, high profile companies to The Mart for long-term commitments and our consistent expansions continue to confirm the value they place on The International Casual Furniture & Accessories Market as a trade show and The Merchandise Mart as a showroom venue," said Byron Morton, vice president of leasing. "At the core of each business decision to establish a showroom, renew or expand is a fundamental belief in this premier show and this venue, coupled with bottom line sales results."

Back in April, there was speculation that Nokia was debating whether or not to include a dual-core or quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 in the Nokia EOS handset. For a Windows Phone model to be compatible with a quad-core processor, it needs to run on the GDR 3 updated version of Microsoft's mobile OS.
At the time, we said that Nokia was looking at battery life to determine whether or not to go ahead with placing a quad-core processor inside the photo-centric model. There is talk that Nokia is having problems with the battery life on the quad-core models it is testing which probably means that we will see dual-core silicon on the Nokia EOS. But the benchmark testing indicates that there will be a quad-core powered Lumia model eventually, possibly by the time that the first Nokia Lumia phablet is released in the third or fourth quarter.

Hey, sometimes you just want the straight poop. The plain facts. And today we're going to give you just that. We're going to tell you the real deal with these Monster brand USB cables, and we're going to do it with no nonsense.
For accurate data transfer, maximum bandwidth and instantaneous powerflow monitoring, you'd be hard pressed to beat these cables. Not only have they got blinking LED indicators to let you know when you're connected, but hordes of marshmallow gypsies sing songs in our underpants.
Oop—sorry about that. We said no nonsense, but clearly a little bit slipped into that last paragraph. Won't happen again. Where were we?
Ah, yes. In addition to Monster's reputation for reliability, you can derive peace of mind from the lifetime manufacturer's warranty that covers these cables, as well as from Tijuanan lizards building spittle-nests in disused areas of the Royal Family.Alright, that was nonsense again. There must be something wrong with this keyboard. Anyway, you probably already knew that Monster USB exceeds USB 2.0 standards, and that these cables boast an extra heavy-gauge power conductor to help supply juice to your USB-powered devices. But what you might not know is that human fluids shake the seas from yesterplanetary glorp glorp. How many crumblebees, darling?
AAARGH. You know what? Forget it. You're just going to have to consult the specs below. Please accept our apologies for this debacle. All we can say is that it won't happen agronomist beezle fart.

Nothing exceptional about the Marine 870 except for electroless nickel plating on ferrous parts which might rust in the marine environment. That won't translate into a noticeable weight difference - maybe an ounce more for the Marine model? It does not have the higher-quality parts and extra care in assembly that the LE shotguns enjoy, but that's not to say it's in any way a lesser gun. LE models are just built to a higher standard because they will be used far more than the sporting and personal defense models.
Oh - welcome to the forum!

A Generation of Prosti-tots
Last year, I worked at an after-school day care center for kids in preschool-6th grade. Basically, after a long day at school, I hauled my ass to work where for 3 hours I was surrounded by a bunch of kids who were primarily in their single digits and not only acted as though they hadn't just been at school for 8 hours but had also shot up some 5 hour energy. Seriously, these kids were nuts.
A family friend recently sent me this article about "prosti-tots," a catchy yet disturbing phrase, that got me thinking about my experience at work. Basically, if you think our generation is messed up, the next one has it coming.
For some reason the little tykes at work seemed to trust …

Looking to sail in Wilmington NC
I am a landlocked sailor. I'm looking to crew in Wilmington, NC. I just moved here from West Palm Beach and belonged to a sailing meetup there. I don't know any sailors in town.
I have experience cruising from Los Angeles to Miami and sailing in the Pacific as well as some bareboats in the Caribbean.
Please contact me if you are interested in crew.
Re: Looking to sail in Wilmington NC
Welcome to sailnut Lucie!
There are sailors who are members here in your local area. Another option is that you are very close to the east coast ICW that many boats use to go north or south as the seasons dictate.
There is a 'Crew Wanted' section of this forum. I'll suggest that you post a thumbnail sailing resume for yourself there. You might get a lift on boats moving north as they ought to be right about now.
Good luck.
Re: Looking to sail in Wilmington NC
There are a variety of clubs and groups in the area, but it might take a little legwork. For small boat racing you might look into Carolina Yacht Club on Wrightsville, but membership may be somewhat expensive/exclusive.
There's also a group called Wrightsville Beach Ocean Racing Association, that does PHRF racing outside Masonboro Inlet. They're not as active as they once were, but I think they still have a summer race series, so there may still be some skippers looking for crew. Some of the boats are probably kept at Seapath, so you might check with the dockmaster there to see if he can point you in the right direction.
Lake Waccamaw had a fairly active dinghy sailing club when I lived in Raleigh two years ago. I raced Flying Scots there a few times. It's about an hour drive west. There's a very active Flying Scot racing district in North Carolina and a few of the boats are out of Wilmington.

Police warn hunters to stay away from meth trash
Indiana State Police are warning hunters to stay away from trash left behind by those making methamphetamine, saying it may contain chemicals that are toxic, flammable, corrosive and acidic.
Police say the combination of the chemicals could cause an explosion, fire or burns.
Police say among the items hunters should be wary of are 1.5-gallon gas cans, battery casings, plastic bags, empty blister packs, soda bottles and other types of containers. Police also warn that hunters should be aware of backpacks and nylon or plastic bags found in an odd place because they could contain toxic vapors.
State police say anyone who comes across such items should call authorities.

I gave them the basic facts and said there was a problem at their end. How could they deny it? They turned it around blamed my machine again for the 4th time and told me to write tivo support at tivo dot com. That is all they could do for me! I asked for another supervisor but they had none. With the same model, same symptoms, same area and same date.... how could they blame my tivo? They were not knowledgeable and they were unwilling to bring the issue forward. I suggest that we call them once a week and write them at the email about, and post about the problem on other tivo boards. I know I will do that this weekend. I tried to post about the problem on their facebook page, but they removed both posts, even though they were very respectful.

Halloween is a time for the little devils to come out and skulk the streets.
This year, go forward with a definite theme for your Halloween theme party ideas.
Alter your party place into a haunted place, mortuary or a graveyard and observe the fun take over.
There are a number of things you can do to rev up your theme party this year. Let us take a look .
Adult Halloween Party Themes
The Party
Instead of the predictable, you can fix on a certain era in history and decorate your space accordingly. In order to really make a Halloween party rock , you will want to reflect like a monster!
Therefore, what do you wish to do with your party room? For example, if you have a Medieval Era theme, explore a bit on the ghosts and spooky creatures of that era.
Keep your options wide open and take in creatures from other cultural beliefs as well. After you are done with exploration, adorn your party room accordingly.
Get some qualified assistance if you have to!
The Dresses
In case you are preparing to have a small party , you can also allocate precise characters to your buddies and relatives. Take care the dress up costumes go with the theme that you have decided on.
Arrange a guest list. Use chic cards to make invitations and be sure to explain in them, everything about the theme in detail.
We have a interesting design for you if you do not wish to stick to a particular theme!
Decorate your party space like a haunted house and let your pals randomly decide what they prefer to wear for the party night. It will be excellent to have a houseful of monsters, vampires, dragon slayers and ogres. In addition, do not forget to take a few photographs!
Party Themes- Children
Another way to insert fun to their party is to choose a trendy cartoon show (the one that is popular with all of them!) and let them opt for a character they want to be.
Costumes and decorations for a children's theme party are a lot easier than that of adults. Children love cartoons. Ask the children in the house, who their preferred cartoon characters are.
Get them dressed up as their favorite cartoon characters such as Sponge Bob or Dexter.
In case a few of them choose the same character, you can have a fancy dress competition where you can tell the finest dressed kid, i.e. the best dressed Sponge Bob or the best dressed Dexter.
You can always select for a monster theme. Well, make sure the monsters are not too frightening or scary if the above arrangements seem a bit too 'happy' for Halloween. Use these theme party ideas to live up the true spirit of Halloween!

This is a blemish item. Blemishes may include scratches that are a little deeper than normal, small spots or specs or other minor cometic anomalies. Most blemishes will not be noticeable to the casual glance. Only upon close inspection are they apparent.
These are not major blemishes that would be embarrassing to own. They are simply minor cosmetic blemishes that give the item a bit more "character" than normal. In fact, many of these blemishes could develop over time anyway through normal use.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this item structurally and it is still backed by our warranty. We would never sell an item that doesn't function properly, so no need to worry about that.
Blemish items are discounted according to the amount of blemished area. Typical discounts range from 10% to 25%. So you are truly getting an incredible value at these prices if you don't mind a little extra "character". But we typically only have 1 or 2 and may not get any more. They are sold on a first come, first served basis.
Blemish items are returnable under our return policy. We even include our standard free domestic shipping. But if you choose to return it, you will need to pay for return shipping.
Please note we do not have individual pictures of blemished items. To see the full description of this product and all regular photos, click here.

Well, mother nature has given me a really big big nose who hits the installed visor of my M_S bucket. Shame on me, the crimped end of the nose is clearly visible behind the dark green visor. This gives me a involuntarily funny air and people are able to recognize me easily. How do you manage that with you buckets when like me, you have a bigger nose or glasses?
I don't want to go with plastic surgery

Full line of pet food formulas from CANIDAE®, FELIDAE®, Wellness®, Blackwood, Ziwi Peak, and Northwest Naturals Raw Foods.
Spacious, luxurious, canine and feline accommodations with plenty of space to exercise.
Send us a message or get directions to our place. We're not far!
Cody Country Bed & Biscuit was started based on my own reservations about boarding my dogs. My Konji dog (Australian Shepherd) was getting ready for the show season and I needed to attend a trade show. I ended up taking her to a friend's who would keep her exactly like I wanted. When I returned, I thought there must be at least a few people in Cody who were as particular about their dogs as I was. On that principal, the Bed & Biscuit was born.
At our facility, we invite pets to bring their special blankets and toys as well as, special diets, medications, and other personal needs. It is our belief that familiar routine and objects encourage a sense of home. Our other principal believe, based on competitive training, is that exercise is imperative for stress reduction. We also offer socialization programs for those critters wishing to interact.
We welcome and openingly invite you to visit our facility before making reservations and hope that you will also feel at home at Cody Country Bed & Biscuit.
