be careful letting those Walmart employees into your house, because evidently that's something they do

I just saw a commercial for a service that Walmart has that will deliver your groceries and come into your house and put them away, even if you’re not home.  This is the first that I have ever heard of this and find it a little unbelievable that anyone would do this.

MY COMMENT to Jonny Mat's post about dogs in restaurants of a day ago:

I hate, on every level, dog culture in this city. I view it as a sign of a society in deep decline .... a society brainwashed by "BIG-DOG" (dog industry) and their fervent dog-worshipping allies. When I was in college, we fought against a perceived unjust Viet-Nam war and against segregation (My dad used to mail money to get ML King out of jail. I had 2 friends who did the "Mississippi summer"). FBI dossier on me from that era was hundreds of pages long (you could get it in early 80s). Now all human activists want to do is save dogs and spend their life savings on them. Their choice and right but then they want to push their albatross onto rest of us everywhere. Even environmentalists have become corrupted by dog culture. To them, treated sewage in a Hill-Country stream is bad but not dog poop in same creek bottoms. I could write pages, fiery ones, ... but it all would likely get deleted.

Bout restaurants. We, excepting certain occasions, quit going. You can eat much healthier at home for a lot less and when I see a dog in one (or even outside one ... like on the patio, or on the patio table (like I saw 80# un-neutered male rubbing its underside about 2 years ago), makes me want to barf. And, I get to pay for this experience and then have them twist my arm with insulting tipping choices offered as a finale (walk-ups are the most insulting / expect a $3 tip for 1 minute of interaction). They can go to ____ or at least go bankrupt. If they allow dogs, just quit going. See if they wake up.

Last report, ~ 6 months ago, staff at leading natural foods Austin dntn store told me a "service dog" (I say 99.9% are phonies) got the squirting diarrhea from chips aisle to exit and entire part of store was closed for deep cleaning and ~ $3000 of chips (every bag of them) thrown in trash. 2 weeks ago in food coop largish dog was smelling hot bar ... and then, at checkout cashier was fawning over the rambunctious obvious not-service dog. A memory to cherish every time I enter coop, with disgust, in future. Another candidate for bankruptcy. Unfortunately, I still must buy groceries, so I have to enter such now-degraded places ... like is every single place in this city.

I love these cranky mofo's just firing off their manifestos into the googletrons.

I also just saw that commercial, but people have been doing this for quite a while with pet sitting/walking services.

Dogs which are obviously not service dogs also piss me off. I had a very bad experience with one on a flight from Anchorage.

There are people in my neighborhood (closed FB page) bitching about the humming noise on their landlines.  Me reading the replies:

I always shake my head when I hear about some of the "sharing economy" business models.  

"Hey, we are going to get people to let other people use personal vehicles during down time."  Are you fucking kidding me, have you seen the way people treat their own cars.  fucking crazy.

Great, now we’re going to start paying a snake tax.

Are we allowing Ring neighbor alerts? Because I have neighbors saying "I hear coyotes howling". 

No shit lady, we live close to a regional park, there are always coyotes howling at night. Are you hearing this for the first time?

Tell them that in some cultures that is believed to be a harbinger of death, like an owl calling outside an ill person's window.

Thanksgiving eve our local nextdoor blew up because somebody saw a bear in the hood. People absolutely freaking the fuck out. 

Thanksgiving evening, I'm walking the dog and pass by the neighborhood dumpster. Normally it gets emptied on Thursdays, but since its Thanksgiving that is delayed to Friday. People couldn't wait one day and the  trash was overflowing out of the dumpster. 

You want bears? Because this is how you get bears. Dumbasses.

I saw a post this morning with a couple pictures of a coyote - "keep an eye on your fur babies . . ."

First, people who use the term fur babies are silly.  Second, I am pro-coyote when it comes to people letting their cats roam all over the neighborhood.  True be told, if I could find a way to toss a coyote over my neighbor's fence to deal with the yapping fucking dogs, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
