102. Nasruddin and the Neighbor’s Dog

The neighbor’s dog bit Nasruddin. After bandaging the wound, Nasruddin went next door to the neighbor to complain.

“That vicious dog of yours just bit me!” Nasruddin shouted.

“I’m very sorry to hear that,” said the neighbor. “He’s really a very nice dog. Let me go in the kitchen and get some bread. Then you can feed him the bread yourself, and he’ll be your friend forever.”

“That’s a terrible idea!” said Nasruddin. “If I do that, your dog will tell all the other dogs in town, and then all those dogs will come here trying to bite me too.”

I managed to get those two bicycling trip journal pages added to the hamburger menu. They are Grand Canyon To Mexico and Baja found under the #Bicycle Tours heading. I’m still working on the conversion of the third one but it is going reasonably well. The more of these that I do the easier they will become, at least I hope so.

We have stayed dry during our walks these past few days. That could change starting today with rain in the forecast six days out of the next ten. If no rain then partly or mostly cloudy giving us some shade which is fine for our afternoon walks.

Nothing else on the agenda. Will go to town for groceries tomorrow and need to get started on the month end house cleaning duties.
