Read an interesting article discussing how over 70% of pet owners watch their pets go to the toilet. Now there could be several reasons for this, observing health of the stool, where to go to pick it up after the deed is done or just plain curiosity.
Now that is 7 out of 10 owners, I guess the other 3 just don’t care or seemingly have better things to do with their day than watching dogs shit on the lawn.
After some more digging, I also discovered some more data that is more, dare I say troubling? Apparently, according to sources, almost 20% of domestic pets, (dogs and cats were the largest population in this study), almost 20% of these animals also watch their owners poop?
I found this very interesting….so next time you may want to ask Dave the schnauzer or Ribbles the cat if they are truly ‘looking for their hairbrush’ or if it is just a ruse to observe, comment or even, god forbid, ridicule??
Neat Shit of The Week (NSoTW)
Was down in South America this week…I believe this pic is of Brasilia…although I cannot be sure. Sounds horrible to be flying over an entire continent and not sure what city of millions this is. But really I cannot remember and really, does it matter? Looks cool and far away.
This is a different spot (but similar in many respects), man, I was tired and can’t remember where this was either…my apologies…South America for sure. I should really note where these things are. In my defense, we are whipping by at 500 miles an hour so, well, I should really know. But fatigue was setting in pretty good by this point. Don’t worry, was awake for the important bits near the ground.
But, I must say, the empanadas in Buenos Aires are to die for…they are damn tasty and I have had them in Santiago, Chile, but these were very, very good. Beef for both..flavourful and just good. And they do make a lovely photograph beside the trusty, potentially life saving (both mine and everyone else onboard) oxygen mask…..also in the shot is the annoying and less life-saving mask required to be worn when we have to leave cockpit to pee. (the white cord is charging the iPad..ok, ok I get it… I am not a pro photographer)
While I was down there eating some supper, I believe I saw Larry King reincanated as an older, portly, Brazilian man. Seemed happy, but the whole reincarnation thing doesn’t seem as exciting to me anymore though. If this is what in reality is happening, I am not sure it is for me. I was thinking, you know, like a flying bird or maybe a cool F1 driver for Aston Martin, or even a baby…but just to come back as an older latino man at a food court? Nah, not my jam.
What do you think? It was a definite Larry King vibe going on….
I do know where this is. The big smoke by the morning light, no crows and Uncle John or his band…but still reminded me of the lyrics as we turned final to land…..
It's the same story the crow told me; it's the only one he knows
Like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go
Ain't no time to hate, barely time to wait
Woah-oh, what I want to know, where does the time go?
Blockchain
If you are wondering if there was something you could do to escape the 9-5 (or prob the 8-6:30 rat race) and maybe thinking about a side hustle, maybe even quitting your job and dabbling in the remote working environment…the blockchain and its associated spinoffs will explode in the coming months, years.
There will be courses in highschool for kids, everything will be ‘on chain’ in the future…everything that involves data, records, anything involving a ledger of any kind or anything that needs to be recorded for future use - dental records, real estate deeds, legal transcripts…literally everything, will be using a blockchain.
IF you want to learn something new, maybe get ahead of the curve (for once) and benefit either monetarily or mentally or deep within your soul-ly….this maybe your opportunity.
And please do not use the “I cannot learn anything” or the “I am too old” bullshit excuses…they are just that. Bullshit.
Walk with me here…..you are presented with a new symbol on a street corner in some foreign country, and you want to improve your life by crossing said street and getting some damn fine Dim Sum (because you are feckin hungry) on the other side….it is green sign, but completely different from your signs at home….the traffic has stopped…
Now, do you stand there and go, “well, I know cannot learn new shit, I am old and at some point became a simple bag of meat, unable to process any new information at all…I guess I will stand here on the corner of the street and not cross and die of hunger like an old man shouting at the tv”….
OR…..
Do you adapt and learn that the sign means walk and eat you sentient being capable of great things?
Anyway, you do you. BUT, if you want to take a look at something that is totally free for you, and can actually move you further along both the evolutionary timeline as well as potentially the monetary scale, take a look at freeCodeCamp.org
And if you are happy being the old (mentally) person yelling at the toaster, why not pass it along to some young (mentally) person you know….behind EVERY website or thing you scroll past or look at on the internet, there is someone (or at least someone who coded the bot) and when they are done, maybe they can set up your toaster for you and you can pay them…

Remember to be you and be true to yourself. No one can live your life but you and 90% of success is just showing up…showing up, making that first step in any direction, matters not which direction.
Most of the unsuccessful, the unfulfilled, the fearful, remain on the curb and never cross the street.
Fortune Favours the Brave.
Sometimes we live no particular way but our own
And sometimes we visit your country and live in your home
Sometimes we ride on your horses, sometimes we walk alone
Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own
That is it for now amigos. Blue side up and keep plugging along.
