Anyone near Zanesville, Ohio needs to worry about more than pumas at the door. Not sure what happened (an assault?) but the owner of a wildlife park was found dead and many of the animal cages were open. Lions, tigers, and bears, oh yes!

Cool fall day here and we got back to a dog walk routine, though with a twist. Susie was ready for work and drove here then we walked around several blocks. Zeke is here and she's gone to work - I suspect she is using hard work to get through this time, so I expect to see her around 7, and I suspect I'll have something tempting to eat on hand. I have a couple of extra zucchinis also (from work) so I'll copy the recipe I have and send her home with it.

I used a dredge (for flour) yesterday and sprinkled a bunch of baking powder on the upholstery in my truck. When I worked on filling the dumpster I got too close to some Ortho products and irony of ironies, the truck of this organic gardener smells like orthene. I need to get that out, so the first step is to vacuum. I'll take out all of the contents and sweep and clean the mats also, but I'm pretty sure the powder got on my clothes and onto the seat. Now, out with the vacuum.
