I don’t usually do shout outs, but sometimes you have to.
A pharmacist at my local Hannaford supermarket gave me this little duck while I was picking up a prescription today.
It’s nice to be reminded that not everyone sucks. Thanks!
And so, duck you all!

The snow has reached my dog’s butt.
I would normally wait a while to clear snow, but when the poor dog has to poop horizontally it’s probably time.

Generic Spiritually Affirming Statement: “You need to become empty in order to be filled”

“We don’t need to be empty in order to be filled. We need to remove the outline. The boundary described is our ego.”

After years of following the Grateful Dead around I was unable to see the changes in myself until I finally took my parents to a show. When I tried to explain what was happening as Mickey Hart started tearing holes in the fabric of spacetime with The Beam their looks at me explained it all.
