The fourth one I know, when a foe has tied up
My arms and hands;
The fetters fall from my leg, when I chant that song,
And off my hands the ropes come.

Essie in the back yard
Dinner from can; macaroni/beef with buttered whole-wheat toast, steamed veggies from fresh frozen; zucchini.
Essie with extended back yard time to almost sunset. The sun is setting around 6PM now.

Warm enough inside to turn on the stand-fan for a while.

Toby out for a 1-mile walk after sunset, mostly on the retractable. I felt confident about letting him off the retractable along McCormick as the streetlights kept it well illuminated; however, in the neighborhood was quite another matter.

All-Father God! Wandering God! Rune god! Wolf God! Raven god! Wotan!! Son to Paru and Bezzia, brother to Willo and Wîh; We call out to you, not as slaves or on bended knee, but on our feet and open-armed as befits your offspring. Watch us as we struggle, but the fight and fame must both be ours! Grant us that victory which we win by OUR might and mane! After a life battle-worn, Wotan, grant us access to our Great Ancestral Hall, where we may feast, drink the glorious mead and be merry with our heroes and our Altmâgâ. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, Wotan, as we honor the Wotan that resides in us all!
