A Peachy Police Dog

I am sitting here with the gas fireplace going waiting for the snowstorm to come in. We decided sister would do tonight at Mom's and I would to tomorrow night weather permitting and Wednesday night. I want to do Wednesday night because sister is doing the dinner.

When you think of a police dog what comes to mind? A German Shepherd? I picture a growling German Shepherd holding a suspect until his trainer takes over. Check out Japan's newest police dog:

I think if Peach was after me I'd stop and want to pet her.

A couple of days ago we discussed weird things you could put into a dishwasher. It really didn't do much good since none of you had or used a dishwasher. This may be a stretch but I am guessing that some or all of you have toasters. What is the Wurst thing to put into a toaster?

I'm really glad I don't drink. It makes people do stupid things. I bet you are going to feel real safe after reading the following article:

Hope this is a great day for you. Your comments are appreciated.

WHO AM I?

I was born in 1869 and died in 1965. I was a pioneering woman physician and surgeon who played an important role in the development of a Children's Hospital. I am believed to be the third woman to specialize in surgery in the United States. I was educated at Quaker schools until I moved to Chicago to enroll in the Women's Medical College of Chicago, then affiliated with (and later absorbed by) Northwestern University. After receiving my medical degree I served my internship at the Women's Hospital of Chicago. I later moved to the City By The Bay to serve as a resident at their Children's Hospital (for Women and Children). When I completed my residency I opened my own private practice but maintained an affiliation with Children's. I was initially a member of the surgical staff of the Department of Pediatrics, and later became chief of the Department of Surgical Diseases of Children. I later became the chair of the Department of General Surgery. I am believed to be the first woman in the United States to head a surgery department. To add to my knowledge I visited the Mayo Clinic several times over the course of my career and spent several months studying in Vienna. If you are not sure who I am by now maybe you should read the SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE 11 April 1965 and you will be able to answer the question, Who Am I?
