    My motto as I live and learn is: dig and be dug in return. — Langston Hughes* My blogroll serves other purposes besides weighting down the right sidebar… one, it reminds me where to go to read good stuff; two, it reminds other people where to go to read good stuff; three, it serves as [...]

    Recuperation

    By Frank Paynter | Published: June 25, 2024

    A lot of dogs chase vehicles. It takes a certain amount of skill to catch the damn things. Molly’s run-in with the EMS Ambulance left her bruised and abraded, cut and torn, and suffering a cracked hip-bone. In the picture below you can see some of the damage. You can also see that she has [...]
