A Man's Home is His Dog's Kennel
At least that is how it has seemed in my house the past few months. Ever since I agreed to allow my eldest daughter to have her own dog, which makes two in our home, my life and my house have been increasingly chaotic, disheveled and just plain stressful.
My dog, Bandit, is a good natured, well behaved pal. My daughter's dog, Kweenie, is a LARGE puppy that have destroyed an $800 rug, a $300 chair, and yesterday began eating her way through our hardwood floor! When I arrived home and saw what she had done to the floor I lost it.
I love my daughter and, although I would prefer to get rid of her dog and go back to the way things were before with just my one dog in the house, I want to make it work for her. So last night I reconfigured our garage, creating a kennel area large enough for our two dogs to stay and play when we are at work and school. I don't think that they can do too much damage in the new setup but I could be wrong. They are their now. I will have to wait until I get home from work tonight to find out if it worked or if they chewed their way to freedom. Either way, I can't wait to reclaim my castle.

Bicycle Commuting
- Tropical Storm Commuting
I was disappointed yesterday that I did not get to bike to work, as it was my day to carpool. It was a rainy day, perfect for trying out my new Freddy Fenders. But not to worry, this morning I biked in during the leading edge of Tropical Storm Tammy. The fenders worked wonderfully!
It was actually refreshing to be cycling in the inclement weather. Much better than getting into a humid, stuffy van, blowing stale air through the vents. My only concern it that my even commute home will be during a torrential downpour. Oh well, anything to save the planet, right?
Bicycle News
- Bike Sales To Reach All-time High!
CNN reports that due to the surge in gasoline prices in the US, people are buying more bicycles to be used as an alternate mode of transportation. This is great news. The result could be over 20 million bikes sold in the US this year. That would break the record for bike sales set back in 1972, 1973, 1974 during the Arab oil embargoes.
Another effect, an obvious one, is that people are actually purchasing less gasoline. This will force more individuals to challenge their long held beliefs about our dependency on fossil fuels and look long and hard at alternative modes of transportation.
