Queenkv’s Brainpickings

So, last Friday - I interviewed a beagle working for Homeland Security. Comet’s a detector dog - looking for illegal food. Yes, this is breaking news. I do have some cute pix of this beagle.

As we left the airport - I stuck my pre-paid ticket into the slot. Before I pulled out of the parking lot, while my window was rolled down, I heard someone yell: “GO BEARS!”. I gave him a thumbs up.

My photographer asked if I had something on my car and I mentioned I had a Bears license plate. Then he said it’s nice to hear some lovin’ from Chicago. I told him that wasn’t it. I had a Golden Bears plate. Then he got it.

He got it. We got into a nice conversation about the Bears were robbed of Rose Bowl glory.

Go Bears!

i think i’m getting better. then i saw some snowflakes fall….now i’m a bit worried. dc local news casts have posted reporters in various locations through virginia, maryland and the district. all are bundled up and waiting for snow fall. if they were getting over the sniffles like me, it would probably be a lousy assignment.

it’s suppose to be in the 60’s in LA and other parts of Cali. lucky.

my professor told me i should go home and rest, last week. i suppose i sounded miserable. my throat clutched up every time i wanted to breathe or talk. this is not exactly a good thing for a reporter. it makes me look pretty bad when i’m trying to conduct interviews with people.

at dulles international - i worked on this story about detector dogs…since i couldn’t stop coughing, the PR lady and the handler kept asking me if i needed some water or a cough drop.
