We're all shouting and laughing and grabbing and trying to push the dogs back inside while dude unhooks the leash which is still wrapped around Matt's wrist and occasionally my waist

But I just ring the doorbell, which brings ANOTHER huge fucking dog, ecstatic to see his brother and fully ready to join the party and bro I've only got the one leash π
So dude comes downstairs to find his front door wide open and two strangers trying to wrangle his excitedly barking dogs

He was fucking huge and uh, very excited to be on an adventure! It took Matt and I both to hold him still enough to read the tag and find out he lives two houses down. We get there and instantly understand how he got out: front door is wide open
Matt thinks a crime might be in progress...

That dog leash I keep in the carport saved another dog today! Saw a loose dog almost get hit in front of my house, grabbed the leash and headed out. Stopped traffic in the street and nabbed Marty before he got hit *again* and there without the leash there would've been no holding this dog.

I think what impresses me the most about him is how *effortless* he makes everything seem, whether he's just doing a little dance or burying your ass in the dead center of the earth

Today on the trail it was 83Β° because we went really early to avoid having to walk when it was 90Β°
If we go walking at all in the next few 100Β° days it will be after dark and in the neighborhood instead

Remember how the "retail theft crime wave" disappeared as soon as companies had to do their annual reports? That's because it's illegal to lie to shareholders.

Like remembering that before unions, a lot of folks worked 6 or 7 days a week, it's worth remembering that before environmental movements, the air and water in a lot of places were fucking gross. Left to their own devices, companies just straight-up poisoned people. They will again if we let them.

The zen master Dogen famously argued that the practice of enlightenment was practice in the here and now, that one could transform even menial tasks like doing chores and preparing meals into meditation. Thereβs no reason that doing this doesnβt count.

Did my FIL call the cops on my BIL last night? Did he get arrested? Was he thrown out in the street? No idea! Because Matt's parents are PRETENDING NOTHING HAPPENED. Very firmly, and in the teeth of all evidence to the contrary.
Amazing.

There's a big open space in the kitchen, and there's just nowhere for the cats to hang out with us when we're in there, so I always have a small piece of cat furniture for them. This can fit both of them at once (it has a flat roof) and doesn't take up any more space.
