3 Dog Days

I was reading an interesting article out of New Zealand the other day on things that will become extinct because of technology (including telephone land lines, radios and books). I don’t necessarily agree with everything on the list, but reading the comments, I discovered that a lot of people are very anti e-readers.

When I moved to the US, I donated my entire collection of books (with the exception of only a couple of pieces) to a community house because I couldn’t take them. Since my house hadn’t sold prior to the move, we were limited to 6 suitcases between 3 of us - you try packing up 30 odd years of your life in to that amount of space!!  Books aren’t that cheap, and getting to the library or to the nearest book store can be a hassle. Unlike Walmart or CVS, they’re not on every corner. So, when I got my first Kindle, I was in heaven. I replaced a lot of my library from home for a fraction of the cost, and have found myself exposed to far more writers and talent than I would have been if I’d stuck with physical books.

Anyway, lets look at some of the comments (and be equally as judgmental back. LOL) ....

Just an ordinary night at the Dog House. Note how of the three dogs, it’s the big one that believes himself to be a tiny, cuddly little lap dog and is draped across my legs. His cold, wet nose is actually glued to my foot.

Another one pulled from the depths - I think it’s been at least a year or two since we trekked out to Zion. Fun day, with Ellie, Romeo and both boys.

Ever see that episode of My Name Is Earl where they couldn’t get a single decent shot of him? Our Spike is just like that ...

First, he refuses to look at you.

Then he makes funny faces.
