Hah - now it's mountain lions eating
bicyclists.

It's not the first time they've done so... nor is it likely to be the last...

First recorded in 94 years in Washington state.
Perhaps the creature smelled a BU Ph.D. and
decided he would be easy pickings.

Hmmm... maybe...

(How'd you guess that came from my tagfile...? [g]) Seemed
appropriate, anyway... ;)

It's human nature to want the two in
the bush.

Indeed. Daddy always used to say, "How American to want more"... but
I'm sure he'd've been willing to substitute other nationalities there
as well... ;)

Our attitude is influenced by the general
atmosphere of plenty in 21st century America.
Those who don't enjoy that condition do their
darndest to do so, those who do want more, as
your father said - two, three, four cars,
houses, whatever.

True... And I've also noticed that those who don't have, often believe
that it is their right to have... so it is only right that they misuse
credit or even steal to get what they feel they should have... and how
dare anyone accuse them of wrong behaviour...

Thanks. I do, too, most of the time.

I hear you on that... :)

Doing the stairs is getting hard again.

That's not so good...

Doesn't seem to be. Let's see if I can get
through three quartets tonight.

And did you...?

I know... :) And I think it a very good idea to try to incorporate
them as much as possible when we can... :) Burt does think that Lydia's
may be well within reach for them... she's partway to Newark, though a
bit south of that as well as Rochester... :)

That bit south might be good for others, though.

Depending on how one is travelling... and which route is taken.. :)

ttyl neb

... It's amazing how pervasive food is.
