| SIOUX RIVER SUNSET |

| LOTS OF SCENT IN THE BEACH GRASS |

| WHAT A HANDSOME DUDE |
Monday, 8:00 AM. 33 degrees, wind W, light. The sky is again overcast but the barometer is up, predicting fair weather.
We took Buddy to the beach for the second time late yesterday afternoon and he had an almost uncontrollably good time snuffling through the beach grass, which was evidently rich with delicious new scents. I had him on a long tether in order to get him used to running from side to side not too far in front of me. It will take a lot of time and patience to get him used to the drill, but he looks almost elegant doing it.
Political comment: The tax break extension now working its way through Congress is, in my opinion, incomprehensibly and fatally flawed, in that it is proposed that the payroll tax break be paid for by a fee on all new federally guaranteed mortgages, including refinances (that means most mortgages) of $17 per month, $187 each year. What? The government puts money in your left pocket and takes it out of your right pocket. Mostly the same tax payers who receive the benefit will also pay for it. It is nothing more than sleight of hand, and only true con artists could come up with this one. I have watched New York sidewalk shell games that were more honest.
