Best to your Mrs...Sciatica is torture.Gooode morning brothers and sisters! View attachment 317707View attachment 317707View attachment 317708View attachment 317709 More rain here, starting at 42F.
Alas Grayfox has begun suffering from sciatica and is now on Gabipenten, which leaves her feeling doofee and forgetful. She is only 74 and has always been height/weight proportional, but an old auto accident, wear, and arthritis have taken their toll. She is also starting physical therapy, which I hope helps enough for her to get off of the pain meds.
The real issue that we currently have with her sciatica and my spondylolisthesis, is that neither of us can walk that far right now, so Miss Layla is getting shorted. We're still doing our morning mile with her, but I've started taking her to the park during the day, instead of walking the hood, to try to find other players to exercise her.
Unfortunately, there are not a lot out during the day and inclement weather, so we're down to chasing a ball, which is not as exciting as sniffing and discovering new things on a walk or romping with the other pups.

WHILE WE ARE ON THE SUBJECT OF McAULIFFE AT BASTOGNE, I MUST PASS THIS ON:
A Cut&Paste for History's sake:
McAuliffe at Bastogne. What did he say? Check every source you can. 100% = “Nuts!”
And 100% of them are a Winston Smith example from 1984. This is cast in bronze in the town center of Bastogne today: A bronze statue of Anthony Clement “Nuts” McAuliffe.
McAuliffe’s real answer was better, far better, but would NEVER have gone over with 1945 America and Britain.
“Merde.”
His actual answer was sanitized for the typed-out message to the troops (and the world). But there were a lot of other officers there, including many GI guards. They all clearly heard the brilliant reference to Cambronne’s answer to the Brits in Victor Hugo’s novel. And saw the Germans’ reaction. What used to be fairly common knowledge has essentially disappeared/never happened.
There is already a book with that title. Is it normal to have the same title in books?Hoo Boy! I spent ten fargin hours straight yestiddy editing a novel. I am gonna do about the same today. Just blew about an hour here catching up with all that is going down.
This novel's title is "A Polished Arrow". One great difficulty in editing a really good novel: You slip unawares from editing to reading... and when you come to your senses, you realize you haveta go back and re-read it without "listening".
