The City of Albany spent more than $600,000 on a citizens’ plan for developing the racetrack and the waterfront, but it may go nowhere.

The Dog O’ Matic. An automated dog-washing machine.

Oh yeah , My dogs would love this! (of course, that is sarcasm).

Invented by a young French entrepreneur Romain Jerry the Dog O’ Matic wash takes a total of about 30 minutes, 5 minutes for the actual washing with jets of water and an additional 25 for drying and bruching with warm air.

Romain Jerry says that it is very rare that a dog is agitated or panicky during the wash – really? for 30 minutes? My dog is agitated after just 5 minutes in the tub.

I love the rain.  It allows me the excuse to relax and do nothing (if I can).

The only thing I don’t like is the mess that comes with the rain – 3 dogs, 12 paws can track in a lot of mud!

What to do with the thirty-acre stretch of land along the Albany shoreline seems to be on hold because of  budget woes – due to the state budget crisis and a government stalemate, the Albany Bulb will escape restoration for at least another year or two.
