Ann Althouse said...: "Ann, is that your new dog?"

No. We are not pet owners. We are pet borrowers. We take other people's dogs out for walks and runs and a little indoors rest time too.; 2/12/13, 9:57 PM

Sprezzatura said...: For the record: long, long ago I suggested that Meade should become a dog walker.

He's sorta there.

Anywho, my next Meade prediction is going to take longer before it's realized. Ten or more years from now I see Meade buying one of those metal-finder-things that old people use as they wander around public areas looking for "treasure."; 2/12/13, 10:59 PM

Dante said...: OK, where's the Gatsby sentence? Even though some of it seems esoteric and eclectic, and intentionally so, I really liked the last sentence. It made me think about how we, as people, carry a part of our environment in our genes as humans, in our specific genes as individuals, and how sometimes part of your mind will undermine what "you" would like it to do. . . Those uncooperative bits of circuitry manipulating the mind to screw it up. Think of it as part of the environment, rather than as part of you.

Very insightful.; 2/12/13, 11:57 PM

Dante said...: K-Liz, I noticed the same thing in the eye. Here's a true story. We live across a mountain chain from Santa Cruz, and our (short legged) bassets escaped.

My middle child decided to look for our bassets on the web, and he looked at one of them, and because one of the Mucus membranes is black, as opposed to red, he recognized him. Otherwise, it would have been out of luck.

We call them "Humphrey and Wilbur." The Santa Cruz pound named the Ralston and Rupert, probably better names. How they got 80 miles away over the Santa Cruz mountains? Someone knows.; 2/13/13, 3:02 AM

Sprezzatura said...: wyo,

My original dog walking prediction made it clear that Meade would be a cool, high energy dog walker--more of a dog runner.

Anywho, I also think that Meade will be a cool treasure hunter. He'll come up w/ some hip (in a golden oldie sense, not a hipster sense) magnet machine style.

Walking around w/o any productive purpose is for slackers who aren't dedicated to being productive so-called makers. Where the need for exercise and a deeply ingrained dedication to personal productivity meet, you'll find Meade (and, it seems, your husband). That's how he's meade.; 2/13/13, 5:14 AM
