Interesting book, written by a Fox. Construction is destroying the fox family natural habitat..Fox 8 learns to read and write “Yuman”. He then goes to a shopping mall for food and encounters tragedy.

The book is a letter to humans. A short fast read..

There was a blurb this morning on the BBC Radio about a school (I didn’t catch which country) asking parents permission to teach their kids sex education in school. Another group was saying, ” This is absurd to ask, it’s like asking permission to teach history or math in school.” I totally agree that sex ed should be taught in schools.

The only “birds and bees” talk I received from my parents was when I was caught with a Playboy magazine in my suitcase when I was on my way to summer camp. My parents told me that if I had sex I would catch a disease. That is all 100%. I learned everything else “on the street”.

Not to mention the deep shame and embarrassment at not knowing what I think everybody else knows. And not having anyone trustable to ask.

So yes, I adamantly think sex education should be standard in schools. And the sex education program taught should be an approved, standardized lesson across the planet.

A lot of parents are just kids who had kids, Do we know that parents know enough to teach their kids about life? Misinformation or lack of information passes from generation to generation.

IMHO.

Happy Friday

Normally, I would lay in bed and then after a few minutes get uncomfortable and move to a new position. After a few minutes in that position I will get uncomfortable and move to another position.

Last night , fwith the new mattress, I couldn’t get uncomfortable. I could lay in one position seemingly forever. And I woke up with no back ache!

My advice to you is if you have even the faintest inkling that you might want a new mattress, get one.

Have a great day!

Today marks 1500 days in a row of my meditation practice. It is still amazing how much it improves the way I feel.

I hope I am always able to continue this practice.

Happy Hump Day!

I’ve had low back problems off and on for a long time. My back seems to be the sourest in the morning and then already loosen it up all day. When I was married the ex wanted a new mattress. She picked a new mattress, I thought it was exactly the same as the old mattress. That’s the mattress I’m replacing now.

the new mattress is getting delivered Wednesday.

At 5:01 p.m. last night, my air conditioner quit working. It was hot inside, the AC was running inside. The outdoor unit was not running. I looked in my watch, one minute after 5:00, of course the place closes at 5:00. So I will call them first thing this morning.

Tomorrow is back to work for a couple weeks.

Have a great day!

Hopefully.

Guess how I spent my weekend? Watching (and helping a little) as workers put flashing and baseboard on my roof.

Hopefully this will solrop the leak.

nobody has disagreed with me yet when I say that I think it was a mistake putting tile on my flat concrete roof…..

I also did a sea swim.

Im still off today and tomorrow ! Back to work Wednesday.

Have a great week! AND…

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF HURRICANE SEASON!

Not my boss, but funny.

This weekend her team is coming to fix my leak. Hopefully it will stay fixed. But I fear I’ve opened a can of worms by tiling my flat concrete roof..

I think they used the wrong material to stick the tile down. On the front porch and back porch It is still the original color, on the roof it is turning black. That means it’s absorbing water……

Happy Friday !!!

Im starting to think that putting tike on my roof was a mistake. Water collects between the tiles and the wall and leaks. It’s going to be an expensive fix with questionable results.

That is all. Over and out.

Have a good day!

Freak The Mighty is a heartwarming , tear jerking book I really really enjoyed reading.. It has been made into a movie called The Mighty, which I had seen several times before I read the book.

The story is told from the perspective of Max, a giang kid who is probably destined for a life of jails and institutions. As a younger child, his father murdered his mother and is in prison. Max lives with his grandparents and is doing poorly in school, no friends, etc.

A new neighbor moves in next door, Kevin. Kevin has a disease that prevents his bones from growing while his organs grow normally. Kevin is extremely intelligent and full of knowledge and wit.

They become inseparable friends. Max starts carrying Kevin around on his shoulders and they become known as Freak The Mighty, with Kevin being “Freak” and Max being “The Mighty”.

Ive spoiled it enough for you already. The book and movemare both excellent. Must read/see.

Have a great day!
