A few days ago, when it was below zero (as it has been for a looooong time), Clem, Peter, and I were going for a brisk evening constitutional on the Coastal Trail. Clem had just had dinner and had followed it up with a few bites some sort of icky thing she found on the way down to trail - she managed to swallow before I could get to her. Anyhoo, five minutes later, on the trail, she yacked up everything; the nasty stuff and her complete dinner. She left two large pancake piles of disgusting barf on the trail. Neither Peter or I had anything with us that we could use to pick up the yack piles. So, the three of us slunk off. Fortunately, it was dark and very cold (wind chill of 40 below), so no one else was out on the trail.
The next day, I took Clem for a walk at Noon. I had forgotten about the barf incident - until we came to the barf piles. Right in the middle of the trail. Where skiers ski, runners run, bikers bike, etc. I was mortified.
So the next day, I brought along our trusty clam shovel and flipped the totally frozen pancake barf pile bricks off into the woods.
I realize it took me two days to clean up after my dog, but at least I finally followed through.

From Street Life:
As mentioned previously, the Alfalfa Club is a prestigious D.C. org. Last Saturday, it had a meeting whereby the club turned over its leadership from Vernon Jordan to John McCain. A bird tells me that Senator McCain had been sitting right by President Bush when he was announced as the new head of the club. McCain comes up to the podium and starts to look for something. He looks high, low, in the lectern--it looks like he's forgotten his notes. Audience begins to get uncomfortable as McCain keeps looking. Finally the Senator addresses the crowd and says: 'I'm sorry, I just can't seem to find those weapons of mass destruction.' (No word on Prez's reaction!)
Alfalfa Club?
