One notes that the unintended consequence of combining a McDonald's restaurant with a convenience store-gas station at the confluence of the major road out of town and the intersection with the four-lane highway is that the rights of way are littered with trash. It's disgusting.
On the way back, just after we finished another one of many hilarious nonsensical discussion we have had while walking, this one about north and south and why there is still unmelted snow on the north side of the barrier which is on the south side of the overpass, we passed the on-ramp for traffic going south, and then suddenly the LOML stopped and turned around and went back a few feet and picked up a screw. He held it up for me to see.
This would certainly have given someone a flat tire.I have done my good deed for the day and no one will ever know about it.
Aha, I thought to myself, that's what you think.
I may have changed the course of someone's life. Supposing someone ran over that screw and it caused a slow leak or else the tire suddenly went flat while he was going down the highway and he got in a wreck and got killed. In fact, by this one act I may have changed the course of human history.He looked at me expectantly.
Yes, I said. Yes! Yes!Yes!
And then he said, "Not likely..."

Lovely story LL - one never knows what tiny act can change the course of history. A meeting between two people could be missed by a second or two - a train could be missed - all kinds of things can happen, so let the LOYL believe it - it may well be true.
Interesting conversations you and your hubby have on your walks.
Our Yorkies definitely aren't yippy. We wouldn't be happy at all if they were. But we have been around yippy Yorkies and so I understand why you asked. Maybe ours aren't yippy because the 2 older ones were rescues and they really appreciate us (they are all spoiled). The youngest one has never yipped though so I don't know what that says either.
Confirms my thought that can be the "people" who are responsible for bad dog behavior and not always the "breed"
Hello LL
Don't laugh at him, theres many a true word said in a jest - LOYL can dream, 'cose sometimes dreams do come true.
Unfortunately the Mcdonalds litter problem is the same the world over. Has all your snow gone now?
