What the what the?

Okay so just today I saw (in SLC) two (yes, two) dogs wearing sweaters. What the? Aren't dogs wild animals? Don't they have fur so they can survive outside? I'm confused. When I was a missionary in Argentina I remember another missionary commenting on the Argentine dogs by saying, "Argentine dogs...you think they're all strays until winter comes and they're all wearing sweaters." And that is seriously how it was. There would be about 50 inbred "stray" dogs hanging around every neighborhood and then all of a sudden in the winter they'd all be wearing sweaters. It never made sense to me. Maybe there was some charity in Argentina of a bunch of old women who sit around crocheting sweaters for homeless dogs. I don't know... Anyway, I just thought is was funny that I saw two dogs in sweaters today. Maybe they're always around and I just don't notice. But I usually notice dogs. Because I want them to stay away from me. But sometimes I can be pretty oblivious to dogs I guess. Like today, I was at school and noticed that the girl sitting next to me had a Google phone. I'm thinking about upgrading to either an iPhone or a Google phone so I asked her if I could see it. And as I'm looking at it she says, "Ooh, do you want to see a picture of my dogs?" and before I could even answer she reached over and pushed a button and a picture of her two dogs popped up. So, even though I don't care for dogs AT ALL, I tried to be polite and said: "Oh, how cute. I love that little scrunched up face on that dog." And thought: "I really don't care about your dogs I just wanted to see your phone." And then she told me how one of her dogs only had one eye because he was a rescued dog or something and so I continued looking at the pictures trying to think of things to say or ask. So I asked if both dogs were the same kind of dog. She laughed. A lot. And then told me that one was a terrier and the other one was a pug. How was I supposed to know? They were both small dogs. But that got me thinking? Why is it that when it comes to dogs, you're an idiot if you don't know the subtle differences in the dog types. But, when it comes to humans you aren't supposed to notice the differences in human types. Once again, I'm just confused. And another thing I'm confused about is why I saw a 1998 Toyota Corolla in the parking lot of the library with one of these...

on the steering wheel. Seriously dude, nobody wants to steal your 1998 Corolla. Especially when there are plenty of Lexi (plural for Lexus), Beemers (BMW), and Benzes (as in Mercedes) around. It was the east side of SLC for heavens sake. Whatever.

And then just today I got a special request from cousin Kate to tell the, as she put it "a$$ wipe story." But it's not really much of a story at all. Basically, on Thanksgiving, as per family tradition, my cousin Kate, Aunt Lucy, Uncle Jay and I went to see the movie The Blindside at the ridiculously overpriced, due to a monopoly, Edwards Theater in Idaho Falls.

The movie was pretty good. I would recommend it. Even though I ended up paying $15.50 to see it...$9.50 for the movie, $1.00 Fandango fee, and $5.00 to wash my car after the movie since while we were in the movie some, as Kate claims I said, "a$$-wipe," threw soda all over my car. Which became frozen soda.

So that's really it. Kate laughed a lot at my reaction. But seriously, it bugged big time. Especially since I don't know where any good car washes in IF are and ended up paying five bucks for the crappiest car wash in the history of car washes. By the way, I washed my car at that car wash with all the paintings of the cartoon bears (I think on Yellowstone). Don't waste your money at that place. Seriously.

Well, that's all for now. I'll try to be nicer in the future and more understanding of dog lovers and soda throwers. Bye.
