Dog pictures to celebrate the end of election season!

 The day after a very stressful election may call for some dog pics:

Thoughts on voting…

 It is a right and a privilege to be able to vote. I will never talk about who I voted for but I will always campaign for people to exercise their vote. 

Celebrities lose a bit of my respect when they try to influence other people about how they should or shouldn’t vote. I am tired of the rhetoric of the election. I wish we could have normal people run. I also wish I wouldn’t have to ask myself every single election which is best of two not so good candidates? Where have the people of valor and morals gone. Also, when did it become old fashioned and out of touch to love your country?

Anyway. Enough of my strong opinions. Reese Witherspoon is the sole celebrity to have my respect this voting season:

Nothing surprises me.

 I think my favorite class is my bike class. I get to ride bikes and I get to fix bikes all while  getting paid. Total win. 

Funny thing about bike class is I often forget that my students are not professional bikers or professional mechanics. 

They have put a few new bikes together for our fleet including two very cool cruisers. Apparently, both me and our pro mechanic didn’t catch a mistake the kiddos did while assembling. 

If you look closely, this bike is missing the part that attaches the wheel to the frame. This part is called a quick release and on our last ride, the end cap of it had disappeared. 

Hopefully, if any of you ride bikes regularly, you would know that you shouldn’t ride with that piece missing because potentially your whole tire could come off while riding. Your bike ride at this moment is not functional. 

Surprisingly, the student riding this bike said “we don’t have to walk this bike back, it will be fine. It has been so far!”

Knucklehead. Nope. Not fine. 

That wasn’t the most fun ride. And yes, the student had to walk the bike back. 

Truly, nothing surprises me. 

Thoughts on Daylight “Savings”

 Well. The favorite time of year. The time of endless darkness. Here are a few posts from Instagram that sum up my feelings on anything to do with Daylight Savings…whether it is beginning or ending:

Hopefully winter will go quickly. And I will remember to:

Dog Days of Fall

 The weather has recently changed cold and we are no longer enjoying the warmth. Fall finally has truly arrived with vengeance. I am not excited about it, but I was excited for a text from my friend Ang asking for a doggy play date. 

Odin and Rozz are good buds and Rozz goes crazy when Odin is around. 

These little play dates always make me laugh and can even make this new cold feel warm. 

I also enjoy time with Ang. She always is fun to chat with and I’m glad we are friends.
