Hidden Agenda


Agenda,every body has one, some more insidious than others. 

Without some sort of agenda there would be no impetus to do anything. Without the agenda to eat or move one might just lie in bed and waste away.

The trick is to spot the agenda of whomever you are dealing with. Of course in business one is well aware that the other party has an agenda to either sell you some thing or get whatever you are selling at a lower price. 

Ideas are an intangible and yet the agenda of many people is to steal your ideas and use them for their own purposes. 

My agenda is always pretty obvious. I want to eat I want to be loved and love back, I want to see my girlfriend as much as possible and I must admit I want to dominate the next male dog I see. Sure obvious right? Well that is the beauty of my kind no hidden agenda.

Humans on the other hand are a little harder to read. I know it sounds cynical for the Cash files but I learn from observing. 

Surfers run in packs and pretend it is  all a big love fest . The truth is once in the water all bets are off. Long gone are the days of your wave brother,you go.

Musicians want only the best for their fellow players, that is until a gig comes up that 2 bands are vyeing for.

Go to any parking lot and watch the humans jockey for the best spot then smile at each other when they walk by in the store.  

Writers,  politicians ,teachers , lawyers, surfers musicians, restauranteurs, real estate agents, smile shake your hand and act as if they have your best interest at heart . Some may have this altruistic notion, but most have a hidden agenda.

My agenda right now is to get Bones off his backside and take me for a walk.

So love with all your might but remember the circle is small of people who have no hidden 
agenda.

One dogs trash is another dogs treasure


Here is a really cool trick, Roxy has this one down.

First find something really yummy, in this case the rotting carcass of a squirrel. Now this might sound gross to you pink skins but to Roxy this is akin to a filet mignon cooked slightly rare. To you vegans I guess it would be the equivalent of a yummy tofu mix of some sort. Mind you the body itself is not enough the real art is in the curing. 

Roxy somehow snuck this morsel into Bone's car the other day. We have been spending the days at the beach. You know I love these moments with Rox and the fact she can pull off some of her pranks on Bones only makes me fonder of her. Well Bones noticed a particularly foul smell in his car today, he figured it was his wet suit. You surfers know of what I speak the funky unwashed wet wet suit aroma.

The reason there is a wet suit in the car:
Bones got a cortisone shot the other day and it was the first time he had been able to see his knee for about 8 months. The swelling dissipated and he was pretty fired up to surf again. He paddled for a few days figuring to break back in slowly and maybe not stand up in a week or so. Well instinct kicked in he caught a wave went to stand up and his knee buckled. Too soon I guess, he is undeterred though heck he could not get in to a wet suit a month ago. Knee braces next.

Sorry back to my story, we got back to the car Roxy jumped in and under a towel she pulls out the rotting corpse of this treat she had been curing. She looked up at Bones proudly and began to munch. Ok even I was a little grossed out but the smile on her face was precious. We all had a good laugh at Bones expense.

Don't tell Jesse but we put it in his truck.   Next I well tell you about JuJube and how she steals things and make them disappear.
