Jeff's Twin

Shannon and Jason C. went to Los Vegas over Labor Day Weekend. While they were exploring Vegas they came across this guy that was making roses. This guy bore a striking resemblance to Jeff. They sent me a couple photos of the guy. Let me know what you think. Could this really be Jeff's twin?

TV changed channels AGAIN

Ok.  I'm not sure what is going on with the TV.  Every couple days or so the TV will change channels on its own.
For instance, Saturday I was watching Oklahoma on Encore.  Well all of a sudden the TV changed channels.  It went to the next Encore channel.  I grabbed the remote from the TV stand and changed the channel back to the one I was watching.
I've been sick this past week so I've been staying in bed and sleeping a-lot.  I have been watching a-lot of TV and this has happened 3 or 4 times.  Every time this has happened, I've checked the remote.  No buttons stuck down.  The remote has been on the stand.  I put new batteries in the remote last week when this started up, thinking it might be weak batteries.
I woke up about 15 minutes ago (it is now 12:56am on 9/04/12) and for some reason the channel was on HUB and they are showing The Muppet's Take Manhattan.  Not sure why Jeff or Mike or ??? haven't changed the channel.  When I fell asleep HUB was playing another movie...Batteries Not Included.

Camping at Clear Lake 8/24/12 through 8/26/12

My friend Linda B. invited me to go camping with her.  She was having a big group at Clear Lake.  I invited Adele to go with me.  I also took Zoey and Laddie with us.

Friday afternoon after arriving at the campground, Adele and I set up camp.  I kept Laddie on his leash until I got his pen set up.  Once I got the pen set up I put him in it and took his leash off.  I set the leash on the picnic table.  I also set Zoey's leash on the table with Laddie's leash.

Well later that afternoon, Linda and I took a walk around the campground and down to the lake.  Before leaving, I grabbed Zoey's leash and put it on her and took Zoey with us.  I didn't notice if Laddie's leash was there or not, as I wasn't taking Laddie with us.

Later, that evening, went to put Laddie on his leash and his leash was not on the table.  Adele and I both tore apart the camp site looking for the leash.  We could not find it anywhere.  Linda came over while we were searching and she helped us look.

We gave up searching.  I ended up putting Zoey's leash on Laddie to take him for his walk.

Saturday morning, both Adele and I did another search for the missing leash.  I gave up and decided I wanted a bagel for breakfast.  Now the bagels were in a paper bag all by themselves.  Both Adele and I had looked in this paper bag both on Friday and Saturday when we were searching for the leash.  Now that I'd given up searching and was fixing something to eat, I found the leash in the paper bag that the bagels were in.

Only thing I can figure out is that either Jeff or Mike were messing with me.  Or was there a mischievious spirit there at the campground?

The porch light 8/22/12

The light fixture I have on the front porch is a motion sensor light.  Since having the light fixture installed I just keep the light switch in the on position as there is no need to turn it on and off every day.

I'd taken the dogs down to Portland to take them to Aunt Marie's care facility.  Then afterwards, went over to Ken and Adele's.  Stayed there until about 9:30pm.  I got home right around 10pm.

First thing that I noticed when I pulled into the driveway was that the porch light did not turn on.  I didn't think much about it at the time, except that I wished I had a flashlight so I could see the lock.  I don't like finding the lock in the dark.  It didn't help that I was shackled by 2 dogs.

So when I finally got the door unlocked and open, I went to flip the light switch off, only to discover that the switch was in the off position.

Now something very strange happened tonight. 8/04/12

I was down in Portland at my cousins' house. A little after 10pm I took stuff out to my car. Then about 10:40 I took the dogs out and loaded them up and got into the car. I shut my door and that is when I realized that the drivers side window was all the way down. I then noticed that all the windows were down and that the sunroof was wide open.
Now when I parked in my cousins driveway I left all the windows closed. I had the key in my pocket the whole time I was there so I know my cousin Ken did not play a prank on me.
I can't figure this one out. How did the windows get opened? You need the key in the ignition to get the windows to open.

From a Haunting to Tarzan, this just happened about 30 minutes ago. 8/03/12

I was watching A Haunting in Connecticut.  All of a sudden, the channel started changing.  It went from channel to channel until it stopped on channel 784: TCMHD which was showing Tarzan:Silver Screen King starring Johnny Weissmuller.

I know that Jeff did not like watching horror movies.  Now as to if he liked Tarzan, I have no idea.  After talking with Mike's daughter and wife, I have decided that it was Mike who was changing the channels.  He loved the old Tarzan movies, whereas Jeff didn't care much for them.

Yet another incident involving a television set. 7/20/12

Well I'm not sure what was going on.  I was unable to fall asleep tonight even after taking sleeping pills and drinking sleepy time tea.  And the time honored warm milk.

Well I was laying in bed watching Star Trek movies.  Star Trek: First Contact was just starting.  When all of a sudden the tv and the cable box shut off.  I had a heck of a time getting them to turn back on.  No idea what in the world was going on.  This happened at 5am when the movie was starting.

Oh, I think Jeff may have come back tonight. 7/18/12

 This just happened about 30 minutes or so ago.  It is now 3:50am.

The bedroom door is shut and I have the window a/c on, but just have it on fan.  No animals were in the room at the time.  I was reading in bed, absorbed in my book.  All of a sudden the bed shook.  It felt like someone pushed against the foot board....giving it a hard shove.
Now I have felt this before, but always when the door has been open and the animals in the room.  This happened the other night, door was open and I had the light off.  I was almost asleep when it happened.  I didn't budge.  I just assumed it was one of the animals.  Now I'm not so sure.

Update. I just thought of something.  When Jeff wanted to wake me up from a nap, he would give the foot board a kick or 2 to wake me up.

After I turned off the light to go to bed, still with the door closed and no animals in the room.  I felt a cat walk on me.  I turned on the light and checked to make sure that there were no kitties in the room.  I couldn't find any.  Makes me wonder if this was Priss aka Ki Ki, come to visit?  Now if it happens again and it purrs and head butts me I will know it is Priss.
