Dog Town

"All knowledge, the totality of all questions and all answers is contained in the dog."

(Franz Kafka, Investigations of a Dog)

"If Heaven doesn't admit dogs it isn't worth the stay".

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
Next year all our troubles will be miles away.

Once again as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Will be near to us once more.

Someday soon we all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Until then we'll have to muddle through, somehow
So have yourself
A merry little Christmas now.

SAUNTERING

"It is a great art to saunter." (Henry David Thoreau)

"I think that I cannot preserve my health and spirits, unless I spend four hours a day at least--and it is commonly more than that--sauntering through the woods and over the hills and fields, absolutely free from all worldly engagements. you may safely say, a penny for your thoughts, or a thousand pounds. when sometimes I am reminded that the mechanics and shopkeepers stay in their shops not only all the forenoon, but all the afternoon too, sitting with crossed legs, so many of them--as if the legs were made to sit upon, and not to stand or walk upon--I think that they deserve some credit for not having all committed suicide long ago." - henry david thoreau

And more about sauntering

FELIZ NATAL, BUON NATALE

- Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown! At this time of the year I think we should put aside all our differences and try to be kind!
- Why does it have to be for just this time of the year? Can’t it be all year round?
- What are you? Some kind of fanatic or something?
