The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

If you make eye contact with a stranger and smile, they will almost always smile back.

Some people don't make eye contact.

A LOT of people are on their phones.


Walking a good dog is one of life's greatest pleasures. (especially if it is an Alaskan Malamute.)

Some people don't have their dogs on lead, which could cause a very bad outcome.

Picking up dog poop, and carrying it around with you sucks.


The internet is a great thing.

The web can also cause you to lose muscle mass.

Internet providers are the Borg of the 21st century.


Old houses *really old houses* are beautiful, because they have history, character, and are built to last.

Century old houses make odd noises for no reason.

There is always something that needs to be repaired, or improved upon. And it always costs a minimum of $1000.00.


Growing your own organic vegetables using heirloom seeds is a beautiful, healthy, and therapeutic thing.

Preserving them, by canning, is kind of a drag.

Weeding the garden blows big time.


Having a dog in your life is THE most wonderful, therapeutic, and happy thing.

When you have a dog, you quickly find out that you do not own the dog. The dog owns you.

Malamute fur is everywhere.


It's great to have a car to get from point A to Point B.  That's all I require.

Cars are expensive to maintain.

Then there's that pollution thing, unless you are wealthy enough to own an electric car.


Physical therapy for a sports injury is necessary.

It also takes up a lot of time.

There is a reason why patients refer to Physical Therapists as Physical Terrorists.


I am now on my way to PT.

Goodbye.
