Echhh, is what I say to that! Ruby and I foolishly went out for the routine morning doggy-walk, under a sky padded with thick, high gray clouds.
“Thick”? The air itself is thick! And no: I exaggerate not. It actually feels like you’re breathing something that’s not quite air and not quite water. Ewww!
So after several blocks of trudging, we turned around and came back.
Can’t tell that the dog is exasperated: she may have been as close to melting as her human was.
Speaking of humans, we passed a fine young gringo professional wheeling his beautiful little adopted Black boy up the sidewalk. Oh, my! What a cutie!!!! The kid, I mean.
One wonders how an African-American child fares, over the course of 18 years, when adopted by a White family. Dollars to donuts, this one will do pretty darned well…he’s landed in a very upscale neighborhood, served by the best public schools in the state. To say nothing of the very fancy private schools that also thrive here.
Anyway, it was a delight to see the ole’ man and his adopted kidlet. 😀
Now the Human is half-starved, but too lazy to get up and thrash around fixing breakfast. So we’re faced with a conundrum:
- Whether to stagger into the kitchen and dig something to eat out of the fridge; or
- To go back to bed.
The latter is a sore temptation. 😀
But…
Coffee
Must…Have…Coffee
And so, away!
