    The Pipes The Pipes

    Greetings all,

    I was talking to a friend about this place, and started naming names. McMurdo came up and I said his name was Glen also. He stopped me and said so when everyone is on and you two are on, that means the pipes the pipes are calling.

    I thought it was sort of funny as his name is Danny.

    The pipes, the pipes are calling - but down which mountainside?
    I am easily moved for sympathy for dogs, far more so than for humans, because dogs do not understand. There is no way to explain that you will return, that the vet will make it all better, that they cannot go shooting today because that is not what today is about. They cannot work out that their misery is finite and will some time end, and so their misery is magnified.

    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

    The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying.
