Ferret Friday #25-Photo shoot

Most of the time, I capture A. E. wherever and whenever I am able.  For Halloween, I wanted the shot to be a bit more posed.  I knew that this would take some doing.  Of course, the week before Halloween went by so fast that I didn't get a chance to make the pirate hat until Sunday night.  This made my window of opportunity very short indeed since Halloween was on Monday and the post needed to be up before I left for work on Monday.  After I had finished the hat, I gathered everything that I would need so that I would be ready when A. E. appeared from his latest snooze. I also enlisted the Hubster to be the ferret wrangler and Ferrevite giver.
 A. E. was quite willing to take part in the Ferrevite portion of the photo shoot.
 I love how his hair is mussed up in this shot after he rubbed the hat off.

 He seems to be thinking "Really? I can't believe you are making me do this."

 He liked the pumpkin and was very willing to explore it.

In the end, there were lots of cute pictures.  There were very few pictures with the hat though because he could get the hat off faster than you can imagine. Fortunately, I got one and that is all that I needed.  AE looked so cute that I was even willing to overlook Hubster's foot in the background.

Ferret Friday #16-Hey, that is my sock...

Before heading back to school after Spring Break, I said one last goodbye to the ferrets. It wasn't until I was back at school that I noticed that one of my socks had made its way into their cage.

Albemarle County Ordinance Update

A dministrators of false alarm units are often called on to present information to the local government officials.  In preparation for my debut briefing the Supervisors in my county, I visited Albemarle County last week for their  Board of Supervisors meeting .  The Albemarle County Police Department was before the board to present some updates to their false alarm ordinance so it was a good opportunity to witness public reaction.  The great thing about local government is that the public has the opportunity to participate.  Albemarle County and many other counties allow citizens to have their time to air their opinions simply by signing up before the meeting begins.  The number of people who sign up, determines how much time each speaker is given.  For this meeting, there were so many people signed up, that the time limit was reduced to two minutes each. The agenda for each meeting is generally posted in advance but the public commentary doe...

Queen of the Dairy

Did you know that the Dairy Queen Blizzard turned 25 last year?  I remember when the Blizzard was introduced which makes me officially...old.  Anyway, there was no Dairy Queen in the town where I grew up but there was one where my great grandfather lived.  Do you remember when a trip longer than 15 minutes lasted fuh evah?  When I was little, the 65 minute drive to my great grandfather's small town felt like an eternity.  Maybe it felt so long  because  I was hoping for that extremely rare occurrence of a stop at the Dairy Queen.  My parents were teachers  and the budget was always tight, but occasionally we would stop at DQ and we could get a small cone.  We never got to choose--it was always just that small vanilla cone, but it was a treat nonetheless. Once I was able to drive and had a job, those stops at DQ were almost mandatory when I ventured on my own to my grandparents house.  I probably tried something different each time-...
