mister went through the legs of laika's girl and looked so happy. laika was watching a crow attack a squirrel far above. the squirrel got free or the crow let it go. laika's girl said mister is so cute. i said he gets cuter as he gets older. passing time makes us more dear. she said i can't imagine laika old and i said she'll be a cute oldie. we usually pass without talking, maybe she's usually focused on running, maybe she has cares to run with. i saw her one time in military fatigues. wonder why they call the camouflage uniform fatigues. i felt the water run out the drain that day. today we all smiled happily. maybe she just does the weekend reserve thing to get an education free. hope she doesn't get used for war. do you think empire will always be a fact of life? and endless war? i think the facts of living will tell that endless war for bloody criminal empire is futile and cannot continue much longer to be. the crush of money, the crush of empire, the crush of war, makes every peaceful moment shine. thank god for dogs, and thank god we are not all ruled by the god of money, the false idol of war.
