I Now Know the Title to my Blog is Inaccurate... Oops.

This post is really just a muffled jumble of words- just a heads up.


I've always though infinity and finite measurements to be perceptions. Case in point- you paint yourself into a corner. You shrink, you paint yourself back into the corner, you shrink, you paint yourself back into the corner. To you, it will never end because when you shrink, you and your paintbrush shrink while the unpainted surface does not. But to an observer, you and the unpainted surface disappear, therefore its finite to an outsider and infinite to you.

You can sell anything if you put it on a stick.

Right now, I'm eating pickles off a stick.

Have you ever noticed that your handwriting reflects your mood? Another reason computers and texting are so impersonal.

I can have a full conversation with my cat.

I still think the timer on the coffee maker is a nuisance.

There are two types of people in the world. Those who think I'm named after a bike and those who think I'm named after coffee. :)

According to my friends t-shirt, there are three types of people in the world. Those who can do math and those who can't.

Even with all the windex and vinegar in the world, I can't get my dog's nose smudge marks off the patio door.

Kona Makes for a Good Coffee Too...

I've posted before about the stray dogs I see on the side of the road, and I finally get to share a good story about one of them. The following is an e-mail that I received last week. Its pretty well self explanatory...

"Hi Khona,

You and I met about two years ago when you delivered a dog into SCARS' care. I met you in the parking lot of the St. Albert mall and picked up a very malnourished dog that looked like she had just had pups, but was now on her last legs. Thank goodness you and your mom had fed her for a few days prior to our picking her up.

That dog is the SCARS calendar dog for March in the 2010 calendar. If you have not received a copy of the calendar please let me know. I would hate to think that you didn't have a calendar with a copy of the picture of the dog you saved. We intended to foster her for a short time until she could find a permanent home. The problem was that she became a very fast member of our canine family, and we adopted her. Her name (although spelled differently) is no accident. We wanted to honour you, another family dog with the same name, and my late mother's association with her Hawaiian birthplace. So Kona is the March calendar page on the SCARS calendar.

Please let me know if you don't have a copy and I'll be pleased to mail you as many as you'd like.

Thanks again so much for rescuing Kona. You made a huge difference in the lives of Kona and her human, canine, and feline family."

I'm excited to see her again (if only in a calendar). The only picture I have of Kona is from the first night I had her, and I have to admit she didn't look her best. Its just an example of the effect your actions can have on the lives of others, even if the other is a dog...
