"Pet" is such an inadequate noun to describe the significance of our four legged family members.<br /><br />In my ideal world where I make all the rules, left turns would be banned during rush hour.<br /><br />I love your photos.<br /><br />So awkward when you choose a less than optimal seat on public transportation and you want to move.

No matter how long we have them, it's never long enough. <br /><br />No, nothing has changed on the political front, but OWS has at least started to change the conversation and they're staying power has forced the media to deal with them a little more seriously. I'm heartsick over the Iraq vet who was brutalized by Oakland police. Kent State is still burned in my memory. Videos of Oakland could be transposed w/the streets of Syria and no one would know the difference. <br /><br />Your photos are beautiful. Love the purple colors you captured. <br /><br />I wouldn't mind public transportation except for the public. I also wouldn't mind the beach except for the sand. ;)injaynesworldhttp://injaynesworld.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-329507352453931374.post-79392439955935346012011-10-27T17:02:42.973-04:002011-10-27T17:02:42.973-04:00Mundane,

They are a big part of any joy you have in your life.<br /><br />I hear you about the politics. It all builds up in me and then it's like a) what haven't I said already, and b) what does it matter? Truth is, both parties are 100% bought and paid for. They both sing and dance for their bases and then they go behind closed doors and drink with their buddies from Goldman Sachs. The 1% remains the 1%, no matter who's in power.<br /><br />That's why Occupy is so important. (And why it is doomed.)
