we were walking out this a.m. and a woman coming out of the neighbor house said can you restrain your dog. i said oh he's fine and she says well i know he's fine but i'm not. enough said. well i could say what a sad way to be in the world, not even able to tell what is a threat, being determined by fear. it's not fine. then we skirted the giant shepherd with blue bone and woman paranoid of us gentle souls off leash fifty yards away. then we find dante and gigabite on the beach and i mention coco chanel who's a giant schnauzer like dante and whose dad hired me one time and poof. but we all got along even though the other two humans talked too much.

 oh childern of paradise, o orfans of spacial need.
