I give their dogs a treat after they do their business outside in the morning. Lately Felix has been telling me he really wants his boring dry kibble breakfast first. He either spits out or refuses to take his treat. He will eat it after kibble, thank you very much.

Things that made my colonoscopy prep better this time: zofran antinausea meds, unflavored pedialyte, and a tushy bidet. While it still sucked, it was SO much better than without those things.

I think pineapple jello was my favorite this time, but that doesn’t mean I’m eating any of the leftovers!

I can’t believe I’ve missed out on this amazing contraption that is two blocks from my house simply because I don’t usually let the dogs lead me down the busier streets on walkies. Fantastic

Some poodles have a fading gene, so sometimes doodles fade. Out dark brown doodle Felix continues to get blond and silver highlights.

Clive doodle dog used to look so different! Pic on left is from 2020, when he was one.
Clive, a cream and brown doodle with shaggy hair, on very green sod Same dog but all the brown hair has faded to tan, and he’s had a haircut recently so only his tail and ears are fluffy

Me: I wish I could just get these same shoes again

Kid working at the running store: how old ARE those?? I love seeing the old shoes

Me: they aren’t that old! 10 years max

Other kid: that’s half my age

<snort>

(Anyway, all current running shoes are super ugly right now IMO)

I heard a bike bell and turned to see a grown-ass man grinning wildly while riding a converted motorized metal radio flyer wagon down the middle of the street. I couldn’t get my phone out quickly enough! 😄

Downtown Saint Paul sidewalk poetry!
Our Escape Our barefeet slapped the jungle floor red, raw Baby swaddled on her back Baby at her breast Toddlers by her side Niam muffied our cries Rummaged for shoots Fruits Bamboo raft on the Mekong Free My mother puts garlic salt on everything Sprinkling it on, she says, “Garlic makes everything taste better.” She even puts it on me. Streaming down, covering me, salt in my wounds she tastes me and says, "Still, not quite right!” she pours it on again. I know with each new taste I am not perfect, Bitter in her mouth the garlic burns. It couldn't be measured. Or lifted. Or moved. Small, but so heavy. Then we measured. Lifted, Moved. The weight of it all. [this poem’s first stanza is in the upper left square of the sidewalk and the second is on the lower right]

Me, seeing an empty lot right near our destination Landmark Center: I don’t think you can park there?

Joe: I’m parking there!

Turns out there is super cheap parking across from the xcel energy center or grand casino arena or civic center... Probably only the nights nothing is happening there.
