Lyn,

There's big trouble in town! Quick, get the blind woman carrying the dog 
poop she picked up! Well, I've only spend one enjoyable 10 minute period 
listening to some concerned citizen yelling at me about who he was going 
to call the cops while I waited outside my apartment complex with a bag 
over my hand wondering if my dog was going to get around to giving me 
something to pick up or not. I guess all the yelling disturbed her 
concentration, so I finally gave in and let her find someplace she could 
do her thing in a more peaceful environment. Closer to the dumpsters, so 
I could scoop it up and just dump it much easier. /lol/

I just had the most amazing brainstorm for a fund raising 
opportunity.... Report a Guide Dog dot com... Create an account... /lol/ 
For a dollar a violation, the concerned citizen can report a problem 
caused by a guide dog user...

Whaddaya think? Should I go for it?

I'm KIDDING! Also, kinda broke. Maybe I'll consider that one further... 
/lol/
