Havamal 150.
A sixth one is mine, if a man wounds me
With the root of a trunk still with juice;
Then I am unscathed, the man himself is consumed
By the evil with which he threatened me.

Toby and I out for a 1-mile walk. Initially I planed on Meeka Park, but Toby was hard-of-hearing early. As I created Meeka Park, my rule is, no leashes or retractables allowed. Meeka Park is all about freedom. Since Toby was on the retractable by then, we went down the usual way away from Meeka Park. A bit on the retractable cured is hearing and he was better.

*the Vikings are really underdogs in this?

Meeting with my nephew J_ @ McDs went extremely well. I bought lunch for him and his two chillins. My hope is we do this again. I told him the next time is on him. He was agreeable.
*Hagalaz/Ka right here!

Back home @ the half; Seattle 0-3 Minnesota

Long-tail was ready for feeding. Socks was ready to come out from his house. Essie was ready to come out from her house. Toby was ready for anything!

A small load of laundry...

Ya know, I've put out various veggies for squirrels to no avail. Earlier today, I cut-up and put out some old apples. OMGs, they've certainly made short-order of that!

*OMGs, I spent a few buck to get Toby one of those vacuum packed ham bones. Toby went ballistic over it, like I knew he would.

SUSHI FOR DINNER!
*Essie's treat.
<>
Separated recyclables; Essie outside with me while I did it. When I was done, it was well after dark. I went to get Essie and we played the “CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, DAD” game. I don't mind playing the game so I just kept after her until she gave up the game.

Call in from Dad Bear's family. I've been invited to the family luncheon prior to Dad Bear's memorial service. I gladly accepted.

Huggled with Socks in his house. His favorite spot in to huggle on his love seat; yes, Socks has a love seat in his house. He's always good about letting me know when he's had enough. We both headed toward the sliding glass door. He stuck his head outside to consider his next move, and said, “Ya know dad, I think I'll stay inside tonight”. Smart kitty. Right now, it's 22F/-5C outside, 65F/18C in his house. Depending on cloud cover, it could get a bit colder overnight. Clear skies equate to colder temps. Overcast skies equate to temps holding.

*Syracuse 5-4 Detroit
*Saltillo 6-14 Sonora on GO LIVE SPORTS CAST...Saltillo has a pretty nice home venue; better than some of the other Mexican teams that have nothing more than a practice pitch. Some are pretty pathetically unprofessional. I could be wrong, but it really seems to be just the Mexican teams.
*Dallas 7-5 Brownsville
