Uncle Roger's Notebooks of Daily Life

Friday, March 10, 2006

March 15th is the fourth annual International Eat A Tasty Animal for PETA day. I'm not sure what we're having, but I'm sure it will be both tasty and formerly a critter. Hmmm... Maybe a trip to Harry's Hof Brau for lunch is in order, for a Big Plate O' Meat?

Mind you, I'm against hurting animals unnecessarily, but I'd be willing to bet that if a hungry grizzly encountered me in the forest, he wouldn't stop and reassure me that he's a member of BETH -- Bears for the Ethical Treatment of Humans. More likely, he'd be a member of HALF -- Humans Are Lovely Food. I wwas on a rafting trip once and spotted a car parked near our campsite with a PETA sticker on it. Funny thing was, it was a BMW with leather seats.

To sum up, critters is food and tools and even, occasionally, entertainment.

Journal Description

My life is, to me, ripe with frequent challenges, occasional successes, spontaneous laughter, adequate tears, and enough *life* to last me a lifetime. To you, however, it surely seems most pedestrian. And therefore, I recycle the name I used previously and call this my Notebooks of Daily Life. Daily, because it's everyday in nature, ordinary. These conglomeration of events that are my life are of interest to me because I live it, perhaps mildly so to those who are touched by it, and could only be of perverse, morbid curiosity to anyone else. Yet, I offer them here nonetheless. Make of them what you will, and perhaps you can learn from my mistakes.
