You’d think that, the wagging tail, the big puppy eyes, the lolling tongue, all cry out utter devotion. Yet day by day, behind your back, he plots, he plans, he schemes — for your COMPLETE AND UTTER DESTRUCTION!!! You have been warned. My wife wants to get a kitten, but I think our older cat will be jealous. ---

How soon after you make that choice comes the slurring, weeping, stumbling around, and finally soiling yourself? Going to bed early tonight, for a long run tomorrow morning. ---

My local Walgreen’s has a sign on their outside litter basket NO USED HYPODERMIC NEEDLES, along with a picture of one with the red circle with a slash line through it. How nice is a person who needs that bit of information? I love the houses people decorate and light up for the holidays. ---

Good run, but under the cover of darkness let’s hope you didn’t squat on someone’s lawn and take a crap. I have a bookshelf edition of The Game Of Life. ---
