Micah 6:8
Joshua 4:1-7
Yes, your life matters.
Some of you are still sheltering in place, but fear not: I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
Today is the 163rd birthday of the 26th President of the United States and Nobel Prize laureate, Theodore Roosevelt. Teddy was a bigger than life kind of guy, from his 7th Cavalry Rough Riders times (I wonder if he was a fan of either the Saskatchewan or Ottawa entries in the CFL) to his Presidency, founding the Bull Moose Party, starting our system of National Parks, exploring, canaling Panama (A man, a plan, a canal: Panama - it's always good to have a palindrome to post), and burying dead bodies in the basement for his "eccentric" aunts who mixed arsenic in the elderberry wine. (that last part may be fictional)
At any rate, I bring this up because the other day Billie and I had what we considered a Presidential walk. Not only did we see all the Presidents of Mount Rushmore, but also visited Denali.
"How could a human and a (still a puppy) dog - no matter how peripatetic - manage such a feat in a single day?" I hear you ask.
Well, we actually only walked in two of the Grosse Pointes, but managed to see the streets named for:
Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt in the City, as well as McKinley in the Farms. (Yes, I said Denali, but that's Mount McKinley on older maps if nothing else!) Pretty impressive, eh? (Oh great, that 'eh' probably means we'll have to look for some Canadian Prime Minister streets or something now.)
Keep Calm and Don't Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
