A fleeting moment
This afternoon during our last evening walk up High Street, a man I had not seen in the neighborhood for awhile, crossed the street to greet Homer and Cletus, explaining how much he has enjoyed watching them playing in our yard, sunning in the car hatch, and greeting passersby. He then reached out, shook my hand and said "I shall miss them," walked back across the street, got into his car, waved, and and drove off.

Presley "Hound Dog" on Ed Sullivan
Mark Twain on a starving dog
“If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and man.”
