Bad Dream 222 -- Dog Poop

I am doing something at the start of my dream that takes me outside.  I can't recall what that was, but it might be feeding the neighborhood birds.  

I am on the sidewalk that leads to my ancestral home in Baltimore, but I am walking away from the house.  I notice there is a significant pile of dog poop on the right side of the walk.  I consider several ways to pick it up and get rid of it, but decide to purchase a dog poop scoop to handle the situation.

The scene shifts and I am now leafing through a general purpose catalog of home supplies, etc.  I go to the index at the back of the catalog to look for a scoop.  There's nothing listed for dog poop scoopers directly, but I think it may be too specific and so I leaf through the catalog to see if it is available as an item in a larger category, such as "Pet Supplies," "Yard Cleanup" and the like.  I go to those topics that I find listed that might contain a poop scooper -- but to no avail.  I find this both amusing and irritating at the same time.  The search has taken on a life of its own.  

I know there's a pretty young woman who would like to spend time with me, and all I need to do is get back in touch with her is call her and I can visit.  And that visit would be quite pleasant, as it always is.  But the search for the poop scooper has taken priority over this.  

I know that simply calling up Amazon on my phone will solve the problem, and I plan on doing that.  

I wake up.
