The Miracle of Birth

The other day, my pregnant daughter-in-law made a comment about a photo she had seen of me on Facebook. In a not so subtle way, she suggested I was getting fat with a “sympathy belly.” It caused me to reflect back to when my two children were mere fetuses. I do not recall getting a sympathy belly back then, in fact, I went to the gym daily, so probably not much likelihood of that happening. I do remember the ultrasounds though. I figured there is no way I am about to grow a sympathy belly for my daughter-in-law, no matter how much I care for her, but I can do the next best thing.

My photo of the day for day 244 is of me, the technician and the ultrasound machine. I will start drinking heavily at night so I can wake up sick. This will be just like the first trimester, right?

Do not taze me bro

It took me three tries to write an introduction to this post, because I am still angry. This white trash, Jerry Springer regular looking meter reader for the Southern California Gas Company pepper sprayed my dog, in his own yard, while he was on the leash! Then when I call to complain, the supervisor starts talking about they are like cops and using “less than lethal” force. Are you kidding me?

My picture of the day for day 243 shows some of the results of the attack on my dog, on his own property by the SoCal Gas Co. He has permission to pee on her the next time she comes around.

Making Friends

Buddy and I were enjoying our leisurely morning walk when this attack dog appeared out of nowhere. At first he seemed a little apprehensive about approaching Buddy, but he quickly determined that we were not a threat to him. I am not sure that this was a good thing because I could not find the owner and the dog wanted to follow us home. I don’t need or want another dog. Eventually a neighbor decided to take charge of the stray and we made it home.

My photo of the day for day 242 is Buddy and his new little friend introducing themselves.

Proper Introductions

Fate or Coincidence

Many years ago, I considered opening a breakfast only restaurant. I got this idea after spending a few days up in the Lake Arrowhead, Big Bear area. Something about that area made me think that if I were to do this, this would be the right place to do it. Since then, I have gone up there at least a dozen times. Each time, I wonder if I should go for it.

My photo of the day for day 241 is a place I have driven by numerous times, but never noticed. It is obviously a sign, but is it the sign?

A Sign From Above?

Night Moves

When Buddy and I got on our evening walk, he generally gets more time off the leash. This is due to the fact that when we go out at night, we do it late when there is little traffic. Of course, what is lost in vehicle traffic is made up by nocturnal animal traffic. Not really sure why I have to deal with varmints in this location, but I have more varieties of critter hanging around here than Tanya does in Indiana.

Day 240 of my photo a day project is of Buddy, in his perfect night gear, waiting for the signal to proceed.
