Today was a bit of a ho hum day, nothing too exciting to report. I have been trying to fight off a cold which I am now starting to think is my first bout with allergies. I have had this mild sore throat feeling for about 5 days now that hasn't gotten any worse or better and I don't really feel sick either. But I am treating it like a cold none the less. I slept in today to a whopping 8 and got up and had a healthy breakfast and then took the dogs for a walk.
Stu is tolerating the little one way better then I thought he would. She is a holy terror that will not leave him alone but he just kind of sits there and takes it and when he has had enough he just gives here a little growl and she backs off. She has a new trick where she just creeps up on him and starts to lick his face but then he slowly lifts up his ear flap and then barks just about as loud as she can right in his ear...Not very nice if you ask me but he just still sits there...Good boy.
On a break from my studies I made a run to the store to resupply some of my essential food items (pizza and sharp cheddar cheese) and noticed the campus police and Ellensburg pd had some sort of crackdown going on. Between the Safeway and my house, which is all of a mile, I saw 6 people pulled over. This was amazing to me because I have never been in a town that is so inept at driving. They take their stereo type of small town drivers to heart and just go with it. Example...In E-burg do not assume that anyone is going to stop for you at a cross walk. You could wait there all day looking like you are going to dart out into traffic and no one will stop. But there is one exception to that rule, if you are at a 4-way stop you're golden. This little anomaly stems from the previous example I'm sure. I think that everyone assumes that at a 4-way stop the other people aren't going to stop (see example 1) and they just try and wait until traffic is clear and then they go. I can't tell you the number of times I have been the third car to an intersection and am the first to go.
Well time to prolong the study break a bit longer and take the dog for a walk. I just have to brave the spring winds. Today there is a high wind advisory for gusts of 50-55. Its nice though because I can just toss Stu's toy up in the air and it drifts for what seems like 100 yards.
