Day 91

It was a pretty good day. We got up at 8:30 because the contractor was coming. When I went out to get the paper, a guy was fixing the street light. I had a talk with him about the union. He said the stuff in the newspaper was strictly the union side. He also said that while the union can campaign with the workers, the feds won't let the company do anything. I blame it on Obama.

Then we met with the contractor. He seemed like a nice guy. He'll be getting back to us with an estimate.

We then started to leave for the dog park. When we got out of the gate the pole checkers were coming up the street. So we washed the car windows (they were scummy) while they checked the pole. Then we left.

We hadn't gone to that dog park before. It didn't have any parking. So we went back to Zilker and ran the dog there. Then we walked down to the other park. The dog store that we wanted to go to was just across the river. It was neat, but didn't have what we wanted.

The dog store was just by City Hall where the Occupuds are. There were a bunch of sleeping bags, some bums, and four bored cops. I bet the cops were being paid overtime to sit there in the sun looking at the losers.

On the way back we found a place in the new park for Lucy to swim. I didn't have the bumper, so we used a stick. That worked until she swam by it and took off across the river. We managed to get her back, and that was the end of the swimming.

All in all we walked about 4 miles. Both the dog and us were tired when we got home.
