ATTENTION?

What details of your life could you pay more attention to?

Diet, Exercise, and my health.

I’m still working off the dregs of really cold (bedridden) that could probably have been avoided with more attention paid to my health.

Oh and this website could use more love for sure. I check my traffic stats more than anything else.

But what exactly am I expecting to see when I rarely make any posts?

Very curious.

It’s gotta be Cats 🙀

Dogs or cats?

I did have a dog for a while but he didn’t get trained properly and grew up to be something of an idiot.

You don’t have to train a cat. They work properly right out of the box. No assembly is required.

They have the decency to bury their poo and don’t leave it all over the lawn. Nor do cats treat a litter box as a smorgasbord.

Yes, my idiot dog had a s***-eating grin.


That’s not to say that cats are not without their own set of issues.

I recall being awoken one morning by a kitten going pee in my hair. I’ve cleaned and disposed of many household objects that got sprayed on. I have painful memories of scratches and bites come bath day.

But overall I still prefer a cat to a dog.


I believe a dog topic that has received little attention has been their historical uses regarding race-based violence and chattel slavery in the Americas.

Particular breeds were used to track and hunt down those escaping enslavement. Punishment, while often depicted in media as whipping, often did involve abuses by the master’s dogs.

Law enforcement’s use of police dogs to capture and subdue a fleeing individual is another example of canine violence.

Some of the more popular breeds today have a violent history which I feel deserves more attention.


That’s it for today. Thanks for taking the time to read this and have a great day.
