So 3 days of swim lessons and things are going great.

We had heard horror stories that other kids absolutely hated the first 3 days. Would scream and cry not to go back. Day 1 was finding the edge and holding on. Day 2 was finding the edge and moving along it until the got to shallow enough water to touch or to the stairs to get out. Day 3 was face in the water, arms forward reaching for the edge and kicking to get to the edge from the middle of the pool. Then moving to the stairs.

She’s been great and has begged to go back every day.

I’m okay with it, after all, the owners can’t know everything going on all the time. An employee reported a problem and they took care of it before the video came out. After, they took care of the others. A nonissue.
Did you watch the video?


There is a ton in there that I wouldn’t call abuse. Even a newborn calf can be upwards of 90 lbs. you might have to push them around a little to get them to do what you want.

I'm a bit cautious when a group with an agenda posts a video like that. Not saying it didn't happen but they can selectively edit to fit their narrative.

Not only that but lots of times what they consider “animal abuse” is not.


Pushing a 100 lbs calf out of the way with your knee or grabbing it by the tail to get it to move where you want isn’t abuse in my opinion.

This was the excitement around my house today. Had a big storm blow thru before daylight. My neighbor across the street had a huge limb break off his tree. His pickup was right where the limb is sitting. He pulled it out without a lot of damage. The black car in front of their house belongs to the neighbor on the far left of the picture. Maybe they will stop parking their car in front of a neighbor's house and park it in front of their own house. That metal light pole between the 2 black cars is the light pole I referenced earlier that my pickup backed into.
