So, the United Nations came out and said, basically, with regard to global warming/climate change that a whole lot of people are already screwed because of what mankind has done, and the only real possibility to keep everyone from being screwed is for China and the USA to do something–the two countries least likely to do so. Well, when this came out, we did the logical thing: we took the little one and went to Universal Studios. So this picture is my stand-in-metaphor-like image for what man is, and the monster he has become/created. Pretty damn philosophical for a guy in an amusement park.
On one of the local TV channels, they were doing teasers for a late-night news show about a veterinarian, or somebody, who would check the DNA of your dog to make sure it was the breed you thought it was. (I assume it was a slow night for news). So let’s say you paid heavy coin for, oh, an Australian Shepherd, but you see that news teaser and wonder: “Hmmm, was that seller a fraud running a puppy mill? Is my dog really an Australian Shepherd? He looks like one, but, apparently that doesn’t mean he actually is one, according to the news. Maybe he’s a Pomeranian, or a verdamte Frusen Gladje!”
Speaking of that (putative) Australian Shepherd, he’s rooming with us for a week while the kids do Thanksgiving up north. He’s fun, I give him lots of attention, but, as I’ve probably said before, every time he’s with us I recall why I don’t want a pet. I guess I better just leave it at that so the pet lovers among the 2 or 3 people who read my blog don’t send a button man over.
