Well, its Monday, so back to work we go. It was a series of moving boxes of books in and out and off to make all kinds of various stops in town. Had to get in a little guitar practice, Tuesday is my next lesson and I think I should know some of what he was trying to teach me. I have done pretty good on the E Blues Scale this week.
New Music Arrivals from LaLa.com
I trade music CD’s with the people over at LaLa.com and today I received three CD’s to add to my collection.
- The Unplugged Collection – Volume One
- Roger Waters – Amused to Death
- John Mayer – Room for Squares
This was my first album by John Mayer and this particular one was really good. I knew quite a few songs on the album already but I will probably get his other two. I also didn’t know he was a “local” to the south. I also found a new artist, Matthew Perryman Jones, that I will have to check out. His demos I heard on his website sound great. Deborah also received her set of CD’s for the upcoming 2008 National Polka Festival in Ennis Texas. We go to this festival each year and to get going, she received 7 different polka CD’s for her birthday.
Everything Else
Our 15 year old Bassett Hound, Blazer, now has to go on some kind of outrageously expensive arthritis medication (Previcox), which I was informed after the fact was going to be $11 A PILL. Great, just added a $300/month expense in a 5 minute visit.
Nature in View
Our two (what we call) Fox Squirrels came over to check out the pile of pecans I put out for them. Didn’t take long for them to devour most of what was a 5 pound bag of cracked pecans.
Thank You for the CDs!! They are wonderful! Keep up the good work on the posts, I love reading them, too!

Don’t let the vet railroad you!
COX 2 inhibitor drugs have been discredited for humans (they mess up your heart, don’t work much better than aspirin, and they still mess up your GI system) — since that market is going away, now they’re pushing COX 2 inhibitors for pets.
We had the same problem when we got an antibiotic for our dog: something cheap like tetracycline is still >90% effective, but they’ll try to push something that costs $80 on you if you don’t speak out.

Thanks for the info. This is Previcox (227mg), which is supposed to be one to two times a day. He didn’t respond very well to it the first night, not sure if we will continue after seeing what a few more days does.
