I gotta coffee with my mother, how they're my cat hello. I'm sorry, I'm late, but I had an encounter moments ago in my yard. It's so annoying these coyotes mom. Oh, I thought you. Maybe a fan, jumped the fence and wanted picture taken with you. This coyote is a big fan. Wiser gotta be a him. Why canopy or her jumping my That's all I don't know. I just pick your men jumping fences and and in a single bound, but I could do it too. Oh yeah, no there's some very spry women out there. I can think of a few off the top of my head if they knew. where my fence was, they might try and leap over it, but now there, no home sapiens entering the yard, but the coyotes are out of control.

we had a meeting up last night, like a big town meeting, like hundreds of people showed up to talk about. What's going on with the coyotes on the timber on peninsula and down, You would have loved it. It was like a scene out of some sort of movie from them, I know why it reminded me of a like a Gregory peck court room thing or something it was just. People are angry and scared and really freaked out cause. Nobody is doing anything about it. You have any suggestions. Where did they meet in your yard? No! No! No! Yes, the entire town leaped over my fence for an ad hoc coyote intervention, no down at the city hall, a couple of hundred people showed up and then a

one hundred more zoomed in and we just sat there listening. Oh yeah folks, don't know I've written about it on facebook over the last couple of years, but the coyotes have just come down from the hills and the skunks are gone. The raccoons are gone most of the squirrel pop nation is gone at least ten cats that I know of are missing most of whom have been found, but not in their original compartment like a bloody tail and a stack of entrails, sorry to be graphic, but it's awful people urges shattered their little dogs and dogs are being scoop. Up and run off with people are freaked out. Why? No one came after freddy one time. You said I kicked one. I literally kicked one a glancing blow like two weeks ago. I was walking him at dusk and this thing shot out from the bushes just shot right out, not four feet from

and I had them on a pretty short lead- and you know Freddy he's like rah rah, he goes after the fe and the thing goes after him and I pull the dog back and I I kick it the creature and I pick up the dog and what am I, what the heck is going on here? It was amazing, like these experts were invited, and they lectured us for an hour about hazing techniques. And about all. These issues like listening to a lecture on fire prevention and your house is burning down. It's crazy. What's the bottom line and did you have any solutions suggested at all? Well, yeah I mean I can call four or five guys and who I know that have the seal issued thirty eight caliber with a suppressor on it and we could just walk through the neighborhood with a bag of sausages over the course of a week,

and and and probably take them all out, but the conversation about shooting a coyote like I brought it up at the meeting and people richest they just clutch their pearls, their horrified there so paralyzed. They don't know what to do: dogs and cats and all the other local wild life for being decimated, and they just can't live with the idea of doing something really proactive to make the neighbourhood safe. again is totally dysfunctional. It is to those people with these suggestions live in the neighborhood today action we deal with this problem. No like fish wildly. and fish and game people like a lot of people. I really respect and admire who make their living in other parts of the states in wildlife management. But this is a different sort of situation where over run, I wasn't physically at the meeting. I was zooming into it, but I'm sitting there in my kitchen listening

to this craziness unfold, and I looked at my ring camera and there's a coyote sitting by the front door. It's like to the point where I should name them then come into the yard and they just take up a position and they wait for friday to come out the poor dog I mean he is hunted. He is on the menu from the buzzards, and the hawks above to the coyotes on the ground I mean and then in broad daylight right now and there in the yard, their breakin. All the rules do not fight and fair trading. Could they climb over real high fence? Can they like? I saw one jump and clear a six foot fence goodness I've seen him get on top of eight foot fences and from their leap on top of routes and things there unstoppable limiter. While animals are going to work. There is one good solution

in fact maryland their crops on you got crabs. We ve got squirrels and, and we have foxes- but anyway might have some coyotes, but not in our neighbourhood. No, I guess not, but if they show up, let me know I'll invite you to the next meeting. Maybe you can persuade them parallel. Anyway. I'm sorry, I'm late, it's great to see you! It's been quite a month anything new to report had cataracts surgery last week, and so, if you think I'm winking at you, I'm not really, but I can only really see clearly out of one eye at a time. So I'd take and I mean I closed my right eye. If I'm looking at something up close and close, my left, I if I want to see the monitor and affair and the other night has one of those tiny little screwdrivers, so he took the lens.

out of my right eye. So if I walking and looking at a distance, this lacquered should good the lens out of your right I well my right glasses, the right. Land, how am I gonna screw specific look, you can do it my doctor, my surgeon, took the right lens out of my eye and replaced it with a non cataract lens, a clear list that tracks does this look kind of strange. It looks weird now that you point it out. To see your glasses are missing. A lens is no reflection on that one is. I ran. But it's alarming to hear your mother say I have a friend with a screwdriver who replaced the lens in my eye lens my eye I fully well, it's effective for distance when I'm out walking But when I'm here my computer, I just sort of

closed one. I need the other eye open, I'm having the other I done in march march, seven, so after then I'll have to eyes that are working in sync. Hopefully, is it a big, significant difference at this point? Oh, my goodness. Yes, the eye that was just operated on There's so much more light coming through that Everything is brighter. The wall your brighter. I have an entirely new wardrobe color Simon seen in years to come, and it's funny. If I closed my right I'd, they are drab grayish, both by right eye. They really are nice. How interesting and the wrinkles in my face have nobody He told me that cataracts surgery would make the wrinkles in your face, increase and local horrible I can't even look in the mirror these days and when I get

second, I done it's gonna be terrible. I now even dad looks after I have a question about that. What is it like for them to operate? Like aren't you like fully conscious when this happens. Now they put an ivy and when you get there and they give you some happy juice, like volume and really you couldn't care less. They can have their way with your I'd. All that can take it completely out, and you know really aware of what you're doing, and I think, there's some cutting that takes place, but anyway, I have every confidence in my doctor and dumb. Did he say? Why did you wait so long now? Much She said you know, Most people have this done when there much younger whoops. You don't want to hear a doctor, say woods. No, I know I just That was a male doctor and I was completely wrong hours. That's what I mean whoops I'll, be guy about complete

and I have a lot of confidence in her well. Might be interested in this when we were with well so just before my surgery she came out of the surgical sweet. I mean out of the operating room- and I was in the surgical sweetener- may be six beds in there with people lying in there waiting for their turn because they're so Doctors who use this, and she said mrs row, I know about your books. But you didn't tell me, you had a famous sun and then all the nurses, everybody what are you talking about? Oh, where does MIKE live? Oh he's so cool. I love his message: blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and I want to say, hey, forget it you're here the to my eye, let's He'll trade on the task at hand,

I'll, let you know if I see europe, your celebrated surge and leaping over my fence in the humming, they ain't gonna happen I know. Well, you should talk to Mary. She, I told her about your surgery because she's thinking about getting the same thing- and she said her doctor also said the same thing which was this is life changing it's going to completely just magically improve your life and it's a shame that so many people wait until there in their eightys to get it done because things start to go wrong. You know your fifties and Sixtys. Why not fix in earlier? If you can exactly I think I dont know if you can do it more than once or not. I think they like to wait until they are at a certain point. Their development and they d What to do them too soon so mind we're ready when could no longer read the top line, of letters on the chart, then we

They were ready. I could die, I edward letters there, but I could not see those letters out of my right. I do you ever guess like when you're doing it's the last time I had an eye exam. I found myself going. You know I want to get this right, and so I was really working hard and I guessed that a few the doctor was like you guessing, and I said yeah, actually it looked like a c or an e. I couldn't be sure and he's like look. This is the What were you level with me? it's not about your grade its impact, can you read so yes and it was like it was transformative I came out of the office because there are drops, and then you have to work for a while. They come back and they do another test. I went out and I sat next dad in the waiting room and there is a monitor across the room and

out of my right. I could say a just taken the patch off from my surgery, twenty four hours earlier. In my right eye, and I could read every word on that monitor. There was a scroll, it was so he said, and so I closed my good. I look with my bad. I and I couldn't read a word so my other eyes ready to be done look out when they're both done. You know it's so funny. I this that it's so transformative and game changing and it's impossible not for me not to think about my nose like the day. after they did it before all the swelling came in and made me crazy for two weeks, but the day after, like as they were wheeling me out of that hospital, I couldn't described the sensation of actual oxygen going into. It was cool and like refreshing in ways that you don't think about air being, just like a cool breeze

warm day. I just had never experienced air going through my nose into my lungs before and so yeah I mean we're just getting it that age jock. If we can find something to do to our bodies to improve em, I mean you're still contemplating the pellet near ass right well yeah, I'm doing it I'm going to do I'm not going to ask about that. No, this is interesting. If he does it. This is going to be a great episode. Tell her what you think Do do do do do do do do do do do pardon the interruption, but I want to take just a second to thank the incredible staff at Erickson senior living for fighting a safe, secure, fun community for my mom and dad to call home.

We lose our testosterone and they create these pellets that they put under your skin in the fatty part of your butt, and they slowly dissolve over three to six months and it helps with energy. It helps with libido. It helps with brain fog, which is why am interested in it. Yeah and people feel younger. I don't really want to talk about libido. With my mom chuck, I mean the brain is fine. Alright, I'm a mature adult. It's like There is with women when you reach a certain age or body no longer produces it, and so you get it officially whatever it takes chocolate.

I need to tell me any more, but I hope it works whatever. It is. Thank you. I appreciate it I'll. Let you know. Apparently, the testosterone is also important for women and has an impact on women. In fact, I think I mean wasn't that the story did this originate with the you know, yeah what my sister's been on it for like a year now and she swears by it, and so does the woman that put the pellet inner cause she's been doing it even longer works, fine use it do it. Well, I'm going to look into it because I mean as great content for one thing: if it improves your life chuck I mean obviously that's awesome, but if you fly back east for the sole purpose of getting a pellet, putting your ass we're going to talk about it right here,

great length clark great late. I can assure you well great, will do that then, but I wanna hear about the wedding, but didn't you guys go to ring wedding? That's right in the last pine cast might return about the wedding. Remember I vividly I'm just going to say this out loud cause. I don't wanna forget. We also talked about that napkin holder and the stuff dad's making in woodshop. So don't let me forget cause. I only wanna talk to you for another. Fifteen minutes cause we're trying to keep this thing down to a half hour, but you might want to cut that party about chucks pellet. His ass, and that are you kidding? That's the title. That's the title of this thing: coffee with mom and appellate jugs whooping little levin. yet a wedding was great chalk. We all descended in the south florida. It was fun mommy's, weird like it always is with family, but it was fun

was, and it was great being with the family with all of our children and grandchildren. It was exciting, but there one thing that went wrong and of your father lost in the restaurant, right, where you'd need him the most with over that. Well, he had already used them. That's behind! at the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding and so on. I can remember like it was this morning we went back to scots house, where there is a large gathering of family- and it was party time, sitting around having something to eat and drink and and your father came to me

lordy look like death warmed over, he was white ass, a sheet. He said, something's happened. I did something awful! Oh my god. I said oh john, whatever it is it'll be all right on we'll get past. It will deal with it. What happened he said at last, my tea. I've lost my dentures, I think I might have left him in a napkin at the restaurant. I said. And how did that happen so well. I had this steak and it was good but collect did undermine plate. So I held my napkin up and pulled my played. To dislodge, and he said I forgot to put it back. I followed the napkin put it back on the table, they didn't really loses teeth. He took about a fair justice place. We mobilise, as one does only meal,

happens, all the time. Well, the next day was the wedding and you. A wedding is all about picture scriptures luck. Splendid graphs. Well I mean he would have had to smile with his mouth completely closed because his upper plate has we teeth on it and one or two were visible in the front. anyway, he was just six who are called the rest round right away and then the woman I spoke to said. Oh, you know They probably been thrown out. I hate to tell you this, but give me your name and telephone number and we will look for them after the restaurant closes, but probably they ve gone out with the garbage.

and how much is this than caused by the way? What's really bring thousands of dollars to replace, drained terrible, it's hard to say, though chuck which would really chap and worse, you know not being able to smile at his granddaughters wedding worth. no, the couple thousand dollars pay the money. I got a pretty good idea, which one is going to happen more where there would be no incentive to smile anyway. If you didn't hear creek says the next morning I got up and was no call. So I called the restaurant. And the young lady who entered the phone said. I have good news We found them on the floor last night as we were cleaning- and I said, thank god, Cindy Messenger sent from Evan, I send my husband will be there soon. Well, it was a half hour drive so fill your brother fit.

well drone is in case you didn't know who phil was well, but there might be some people, the dozen or so people who listen to this podcast. You know what fair point, so he drove dad back to the restaurant and it was so funny dad called me on his cell phone as he is wont to do, many times whenever we separated- and he said, oh honey. What was the girl s name, I suppose to look for- and I said oh, I think- and I remember Alison, he said: oh ok and then this woman came, he said Alison. She said yes, it is here it is oh, I wonder if I still have the little brown. Oh here it is look It was a little a little manila envelope that says dentures, but a smiley face was very happy in, but dad was very reserved. He said well, wait a minute! Let me open this in may

ensure these are mine. I'm like I am pleased that all leave their dentures on the floor in a restaurant and energy florida, its florida, probably a shoe box full of missing teeth somewhere. like when I lost my purse. And my wallet walmart, I went to the loss and found in there a dozen keynes back there and I'm thinking what kind of a person for it's their kane when they're out. If you came the kind of person. Does it We need one yeah exactly so I came home and always well and dumb it this time for the wedding, his he didn't run, through the dishwasher, but he clean them very well. We didn't have a dishwasher at the motel where a hotel where we were staying so when he did wash them So damn ended happily, but I tell you those too

it had been the source of more material. For me, one night last week with weakness where dad when in had goes batter but before he went to the bathroom who taken. Take his hearing, aids out and his teeth out not go. bathroom, but we are not sure I understand his anatomy scanner shower while they began their okay, so remedies the bathroom in the shower there's a shower in the bathroom so anyway, all of us sudden. I hear him laughing from the bedroom and I said what's funny he said I just tried to plug my. Ts entered my hearing, aids charger get down his teeth and put him in the hearing charger, but they didn't fit of course said then hearing aids out put them, but honestly that those teeth have been the subject of illegal

material through the do. You remember a few months back probably six months ago, but I somebody left their retainer on the water fountain. On the bike path, where I walk, I read about that on your facebook page and now they have their own instagram accounts have an insect, so I and they'll go to an expensive, looking retainer that somebody had taken out of their mouth and left on top of a water fountain. I don't know why, but they did it, and I know those things cost money. So I took a picture of it and I wrote something kind of funny about it. From the point of view of the retainer

Does why not creative writing one or one that post kind of blew up at the next day? They were still there and the day after that there were still there. So I just started writing from the point of view of a retainer who who is stuck on a water fountain watching the world go by and then on the fourth day somebody picked it up and left me a note in in an envelope. You know cause at this point. Two million people are engaged in a conversation on facebook about this missing retainer somewhere on the timber on peninsula, and that person assume the identity of something called tidies teeth with that means, but they have an instant rampage now with over twenty thousand followers and there

container is dispensing advice to people with questions about that. If so, the person who lost the retainer never did get it back. No, no, the retainer was abandoned and somebody who was reading this crazy conversation on facebook took it upon themselves to drive over into this basic area and start walking on the bike path until they found the water fountain with the retainer on it, and then they left me an envelope. You can't make it up, I'm actually not sure who's living a weirder life. You or me, it's you hon. My life is very staid duck yeah. I still have it. Oh good, good, good, good, good, okay, so so chuck.
