Regarding your tagline: “The world is a dangerous place whose inhabitation always ends in death.”~Theodore Dalrymple

— I’ve always substituted the word “universe” for “world” in that expression. The Universe is hostile to all life, and that includes us.

Didn’t Bilbo say something similar — It’s dangerous going out your door...or something...? I’d have to get the book. Which is about six feet away from me in all of three directions, but I’m still trying to wake up.

Back from the gym. It’s dangerous here, too. Kathleen says I have to let her put on her nightgown now, or she’ll kill me. She got her previous outfit wet playing in puddles while I was getting some lettuce from the garden.

Jake had rapturous MAAAOOOOs to say about rolling around in the garden in the sunshine. It made him very warm (and dirty).
