Dogs and Habits
Have been secluded in the Australian desert for several months, beyond
internet/civilisation. Just dog Rusty and me and an ancient typewriter that hurt my hands and taxed the old brain hammering together my new website. They say dogs are creatures of habit. I say sometimes they are and other times not - just as humans. Here is a case where habit won. At home, the last excitement of the day happens in the kitchen. I squat on the floor, Rusty at the other end. I flick a little dry morsel across. He jumps at it and squeals, then chews mightily as if it were a bone. He inflates the show and plays Big Time. So do I by naming each morsel with a grave: Number One…Number Two…Number Three. After that it’s bedtime. Out in the desert, the car bonnet became the kitchen floor. The morsel shoots through space. Rusty jumps up, does a mid-air pirouette and catches his trophy. Then he sits and grins, ready for Number Two and Three. One day, muddle-headed, I added a nameless Four. Rusty didn’t jump. His eyes followed that mathematical aberration through the air, then looked at me. He didn’t shake his head, but I knew what he was thinking. That morsel remained beyond accepted norms. He didn’t bother. But you can’t typecast dogs. At home Rusty has made three places where he sleeps and changes them at will. I only have one bed. As habit goes: I am more of a dog than Rusty is.

You roll up the paper and put it into the web of a Sydney Funnel Web spider. http://www.usyd.edu.au/anaes/venom/spiders.html Just don't let it bite you! Paul |

How do you create a website by typewriter? +++++++++++ Hi diddy, if you plan lots of text for a website, it usually has to be written down first. And if you are at a location without power supply to charge batteries, then you've got to it by hand or typewriter. See? True - for clever people like you I should have phrased it better. Greetings to diddy - Klaus |
