Dog Barking Horse

The dog next door has been
barking all evening. I wonder
why it doesn't realize that his
complaining will just make it
horse.

My Wife's Confused?

red a flat tire. I told

No Art Today

I don't have time for
art today. Took apart a
stubborn table, went 2

carried lots of boxes down
the stairs. Oh, and had 2

neither of my electric razor
s would work.

Bad Weather

So sometimes we say "bad weather" just meaning that it was not as good as yesterday. This is "bad weather" in the relative sense. We compare two things and make a judgment based on the contrast between the two. On the other hand, I tried to imagine "bad weather" in the absolute sense. It might be the raining of arrows, as happened to Buddha (in his mind) the night of his enlightenment. Luckily he put up a Buddha shield and the arrows turned to flowers. If he hadn't done that, he would have experience truly "bad weather."

Too Close

Sometimes they got a
little too close . . .

Go Figure

Go figure. I sold a box of
books for $19 to the 1/2

a second box of better
books (I was hooked) and
only got $4!!!

Buddhism and Intimacy

You can't
be far
away

&
still have
intimacy.

Before a Buddhist talk this am we were asked to move closer to the front of the room. Then the priest said that intimacy is important to Buddhism. Here's an excellent article "The Intimacy of Engaging with Suffering" by Zenju Earthlyn Manuel (http://tinyurl.com/98f6xq) which explains the importance of intimacy.

Batteries aren't Forever

Some toys use batt-
eries. They run out of
steam
too.

Coffee Now!

Some toys drink coff-
ee. My daughter said the
words shouldn't tell e-
verything so you'll need 2
look @ the picture.

Give
me my
coffee now!

Totally Lost

Some haven't found their
keyhole. They have lots

Clueless in Texas. The sun

Unfortunately, for these
folks, school may not

Wrong Key

Sometimes we use some-
one else's key because
we can't find our own. It
doesn't fit right & som-
etimes gets stuck.

Lost Key

Some toys would be
ok except they have
lost their keys. So
they just stand there
praying that someone
or something will turn
them on.
