Between 1984-2010, I spent roughly 3 months in the British Isles. I never found any loose change at all. During 11 years in Germany, I found maybe equivalent of 10 cents total while out walking or on public transportation. Residents of both countries seem more conscious of their surroundings.

Germany mandates Pfand or bottle deposit fees on glass and plastic bottles. If you attempt throwing away a plastic bottle in larger train stations, such as Frankfurt, someone is always standing by a receptacle and will ask for it before you toss. German bottle deposit fees now pay 0.25 cents EU or 30 cents US. Needless to say, I've only found a couple bottles over the years, including my last visit in 2013.

All wild, (and domestic) animals are smart, as we see it (it’s more instinct). My dog Mace, is the smartest non human I’ve ever seen, (pretty easy catch these days). And it’s easy to feel sorry for and pander to wild critters. I’ve been guilty myself. But, they are critters, none the less. Put here for our use. If I remember nothing else from early years bible school, it’s that.
I had an experience with a pet raccoon and it was one of the saddest things I have been involved in. When I was a young insurance rep one of our home owners owned a pet raccoon. She was walking it in Crest Lake Park when it got loose. A 5 year old boy was swinging in the park and the coon attacked the child ripping him between the legs and castrating him. The homeowner had a $25,000 personal injury limit for liability.

I met with the family expressing my sorrow and immediately offered them the policy limits. This happened in Florida which required a "friendly suit" when a minor was involved meaning a judge had to approve the settlement. When the Judge heard the facts he said no way would he approve only $25,000 for a 5 year old boy's loss of his sex organs. We put the $25,000 in a trust for the child and the homeowner was on the hook for what the judge thought was fair. If it was me no amount would have made it "fair".

The lesson I learned was if I had a wild animal, no matter what it was I would keep it away from a human. You just never know.
 
Just found out our local Catfish Parlour is closing November 6 after 48 years. Wow. Owner retiring. Two other locations remaining open.

Love their catfish and oysters. Hush puppies are long and thin, and leave much to be desired, but wife loves 'em.

We'll be dining there over at least twice more over the next several days.

That is sad, sad news. A Catfish and oyster restaurant is my favorite type of restaurant. Maybe someone can take it over and keep it going.

Someone like...Austin! Do it man. I will invest some cash and I bet there are other people here who might want to get involved. You know all you need to know about what good food is and you have the business sense to pull it off as well. In case you didn't know it, you are frugal. Excellent quality to have for a new business owner!

Congrats!

This may be my favorite George Jones tune depending on how I feel that day. I would rank it in my all time Top 10. I never get tired of George Jones.
Same with me Sawnee. His talent was so immense that every time he sang or recorded this song it is a bit different, and has a distinctive feel. This is my favorite version because the pace is just a bit slower, his tone a bit darker, and because of the way he soars through the bridge. Gives me chills.
 
Is it OK if a grandpa brags a little on the D

Just got a text from my grand daughter who lives in Lexington, KY. Last night she was way way under the weather and wheezing and feeling horrible. Her daddy and mama nursed her all night. Now why is that important? Today at 4 o'clock she had to run in the State Championship. She runs track and also cross country.

So I received a text a few minutes ago that she ran the fastest time in her track history and the team is the Kentucky High School State Champs. Mind over matter. She was determined her final high school run would be her best and she would leave everything on that track. Congrats to a Champion.
 
I guess I'll be looking for another health insurance provider for 2022. Another ridiculous increase from our current provider. Open enrollment begins Monday.
Wished you lived closer to Owensboro 82, my wife's nephew deals with Medi-care and moves me every year to the best plan out there. He put me on mutual of Omaha last year
