6:00 AM Poop apocalypse. As i said before there are at least 68 million dogs in the US or 1/4 of total number of people or roughly one dog per two houses. They poop twice daily in amounts comparable to humans.

However humans use toilets but pets don't, they rely on their symbionts to be manually serviced and there are no regulations on how a dog poop should be disposed of (how to properly knot the bags that is) and most owners simply don't know as 99% of the bags in the dumpsters are not (properly) knotted and they smell worse than those simply left on the ground, unbagged.

Yeah i know the problem seem trivial to many but after i ran into it for so many years now i can tell you, it is not. There is no general agreement on how to do it. There are videos on  how to knot a bag with poops but some promote mistakes as well.

BTW as i write here i feel some smell coming from outside. And my ginger tea went cold.

7:25 I saw a cistern like vehicle with the inscription "concrete pumping" and opened the door and it looks like they finally came to pour concrete on the newly created pathway north of the alley. Now i hear the pump pumping. Could it mean they are getting closer to finishing and at least i won't hear the excavator that was working there for the past 4 months no more?

8:10

9:07 I guess they brought in another one.

2:40 After one hell of a day with pouring concrete (must have been @5 of those) he started the black BMW and let it idle until the RPM went normal exactly when i finished pulling the bandages to do my wound dressing, like so many times before. How does he know?

5:11 The main reason i went to Walmart today was to watch the parade on the sidewalk there to buy bandages. However, the most common and important item used in wound dressing is missing there and i can't find it on Amazon either (the sterile, cotton, fluffy type).
