I’m going to become a vegetarian again. I was a modified vegetarian back in high school which was twenty some years ago. Back then I mostly ate Doritos and Dr. Pepper which led to weight gain. Something I forgot to eat while being a vegetarian . . . vegetables! Back then I could take or leave veggies but now, being older and wiser (ha), I really like veggies and there’s really no vegetable that I don’t like. Okay, when pressed, I don’t particularly care for peas or creamed corn (we had this a lot when I was growing up). Isn’t it funny how our childhood plays a big part in what we eat now as adults?
Someone asked why I wanted to be a vegetarian. My reason is not to be healthy although that’s a good reason. I take the highway to work everyday and on most mornings I see a cattle truck which is taking cows to slaughter and I cry every single time I see one of those trucks. Yeah, maybe I’m weak hearted but I think I’m more sentimental.
BTW: My next blog is going to be about swearing. I’m working out the details but it will be up faster than this entry. Please note that the entry won’t be for the faint of heart because there’s going to be a lot of F bombs.
Take care.

It's Not a Dog World
One of our congressmen is trying to get a law passed that will allow dogs into our city parks. I can't help but wonder why they aren't allowed in the first place. People are saying that it's the bad ownership ie. people who don't clean up after their dogs.
I have a difficult time with children in parks. My problem with sharing the park with children is really not with the children at all but their parents who lack the ability to discipline their charges. Many times I have gone to a park and have had my quiet time interrupted by screaming children. And where are the parents? Good question. They are right there within ear shot and ignoring their children. Please do not think that I dislike children because I like children. My problem is with their parents.
These same parents are the ones who don't want dogs in their park because of the mess they may leave behind. Here's what I propose: Let's have parks where children are not allowed and parks where dogs are not allowed. I think the parks where dogs are allowed will be full of happy people and the parks where children are allowed will be full of screaming kids and frazzled parents.
Here's the gist of what I'm saying, I would rather put up with crap than put up with screaming.
