Dear So and So

[laura*]

Dear idiots in the expensive SUV who were going to park right on the bike lane / MUP:

Did you not see the car sized rectangles aka parking spaces outlined in white paint alongside the traffic lane? Didn't you suspect something when you had to drive over a huge car stranding berm? Didn't you see me heading straight towards you?

At least you figured out your error when I stopped and started gesticulating at the parking spaces.

Oak, I live in the woods, too, but the chipmunks had to go! DH has to park outside (his car does not fit in the 80's style garage), so obviously that doesn't work, but after we filled up the holes in garage walls, set the traps, and kept the acorns swept up more religiously, they have stayed away from my car. Oh yea, they made a nice igloo out of acorns in my engine.

Mimi, many many good vibes to you and RD! Hope the surgery goes well...

Dear knees and hips, I know its beginning to rain a lot and my ballet years have not been kind to you. But will you please not choose the time when I need to run after a hyperactive child to stiffen up and shoot pain barbs everywhere? Thanks...

Dear Chloe,
I know in your short life that humans haven't always been nice to you, and you're still not sure you trust me. I'm sorry that the antibiotics are bubblegum flavored and not tuna. But baby, you really need to take your meds. So when I get home this afternoon, let me hold you, cuddle you, and then take your meds like the good girl that I know you are. You'll feel better, really.
Your adoptive Mom

Dear State of NE,

THANK YOU for opening the Steamboat Trace trail the other day. It's only 15 miles from my house and I can ride in peace. I even got to see a beautiful hawk next to the trail. I did 8 miles today with ease and except for acccidentally scaring a jogger, it was wonderful.

Now to buy something to cover my cold ears and some gloves later today so I can go farther. Cycling at 50 degrees at 14 mph is colder than I thought it would be.

[Owlie]

Love it!

Not-dear neighbors:
It's 1:30 in the morning. SHUT UP.

Love it!

Not-dear neighbors:
It's 1:30 in the morning. SHUT UP.

I'll trade you your 1:30s for my 4:15s.

Edit, I take that back. At least mine is noisy on her way out to run. It could be worse.

Good luck, Beth. Dosing a cat is such fun. I hope Chloe starts feeling better soon.

I have been able to get my dog to take any pill as long as it is coated in a glob of crunchy peanut butter. Maybe that will work for your cat - if not a liquid, obviously. Good luck!

Dear headache--
Please go away. I have a study guide to finish.

Good luck, Beth. Dosing a cat is such fun. I hope Chloe starts feeling better soon.
