Happy Wednesday! I’m waiting for the dryer to finish tumbling.
My son said he hasn’t heard from the imaging place to schedule his x-ray. I HATE the way medicine is managed these days: “We’ll refer you, and they’ll call when they get around to it.” He first developed asthma at eight months old, I think partly from heredity, partly from bronchitis and pneumonia, and partly from his father’s smoking (a battle I fought long and hard and only intermittently successfully). There were many ER trips, including the one that landed him in the ICU. I try not to worry, but he’s got scarred-up bronchial tubes, and it’s hard to stay serene when he’s been sick so long.
Oh, no, no, red. I’m not against hunting. Did I sound like I am? I lived long in Wyoming and Montana and learned about preventing overpopulation and the other benefits. Preventing overpopulation of ducks isn’t the primary reason hunting is allowed at Nisqually, though. It’s that the fees and the sale of stamps help fund the refuge.
Even understanding the reasons for allowing hunting, the term refuge still strikes me as ironic, considering the definition of the word. It’s a language thing, not a moral stance. Hope this clears that up.
Cookie, what do you like best in a salad? Do you make your own dressing?
Doggio, thanks again for explaining. Also, GOOSES!
Molly and doggio, I had to laugh at headbangers yoga.
I love them, too, and miss them. Aren’t they hard to grow in areas with hot summers and mild winters? My cousin in LA tried and failed to grow one, and I think that’s what she said. Maybe there’s a variety bred for heat tolerance? You have such a green thumb, if you v=can’t grow one, nobody can.
That’s so adorable! I love the way puppies will pile on each other and suddenly plop! they’re asleep.
The idea of slacking on nappage made me smile.
Our first winter in northern Montana was a hard one, and north of town, a large herd of deer were starving. Hunting them was the kindest option. My ex was a crack shot, but he had no gun then, and there were plenty of volunteers.
Agreed. I’m glad we only have benign curmudgeons up here.
