This is what I saw from our sunroom windows. The first snow of 2008 at least in Billings. Not surprising because it was cold and rainy last night when I took Maggie out for a pee.
I stopped in at St Vincent Hospital to finish an autopsy report on a young man who died suddenly and unexpectedly. Unfortunately the tox report was also negative; so, in addition to being sudden and unexpected it was also unexplained. A fatty liver and evidence of previous pancreatitis just didn't look convincing. The coroner hates that. I say Nil nisi veritas.
One of the hallways had a display of paintings by a friend who lives just down the street and across Rimrock. I have one of her paintings from some years ago similar to those seen above. Apparently supply and demand have played their inevitable part because the prices are considerably higher these days. I say Hurrah for Maggie. Check her out either at Yellowstone Medical Building or at the Frame Hut.
We went to Pet Smart to look for a substitute for some high-priced food sold only at the vet's office. I always enjoy looking around here. These are the rows of tropical fish, but there are all kinds of creatures large and small in addition to the usual dogs and cats. I didn't see any horses but they do sell stuff for horses and riding. Interesting thought, Pet Smart is actually much larger than Toys 'R' Us, which may have something to do with how our society views children.
This is a small experiment in the blogosphere. "If you have no interest in what it's like to grow old, what follows is not for you. However, if it's going to happen to you, and the outcome is ultimately going to be negative, then finding a way to make the process as bearable, even as enjoyable as possible, might be worth a little attention."—from John Jerome's On Turning Sixty-Five
