Those Border collies are the smartest dogs in the world, aren't they? I've seen this video, or something like it before, and it always gives me the giggles. I needed those giggles this afternoon, because another member of the Busybody Brigade marched up to our front door to instruct us about protecting the environment, this time by disposing of our computers correctly. She had the bland assumption that we had no idea how to do that, and that she, on the other hand, could instruct us. Downs in his Southern Gentlemanly way,politely told her to go away. When she didn't, I proceeded to tell her the same thing, somewhat less politely.

We seem to be having an increase in Busybodies currently, and their bland assumption that they know more than we do about just about everything, and that without their guidance, we're just bound to screw up is infuriating. When they see that we're elderly, they raise their voices and press harder.

This isn't just a disconnect between generations. It's a deeper chasm than that.

P.S. Anyway Bruce, thank you for the giggle.
