"Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?"

"After I fell off a ladder several years ago, a friend tossed off the following very wise if unsympathetic observation:'No one over the age of sixty should be allowed to even own a ladder.' "
Sage advice for sure. My ex spent a couple of weeks on the Palliative Care Service at our regional trauma center when she was a medical student. Unfortunately those weeks the bulk of her patients where gentlemen of a certain age who shouldn't have been climbing ladders, but did so anyway much to their detriment.

Dang Libby, sorry you took such a nasty fall. Is the scribe becoming an equally good nurse?
ReplyDeleteSteve, I enjoyed your discussion of urban Coopers. All I can add is that the only things I've found that keeps Coops from my pigeons are Goshawks...
I like Goshawks better (;-))
