One of my Dogs

Hello All

I’ve set up a GoFundMe page to help pay for two procedures that needs to done in order for my dog to get into better health. Her name is Lolo and she around 13 to 14 years old and rather active up until recently. Starting in mid February she started to have noticeable problems with walking in general, along with eating and going potty.

Here is Lolo laying down in front of the porch steps while in the shade.

I have set up a GoFundMe page (new browser window) to help cover the cost of an X-Ray, blood work and medication to help her to live as long as possible. I’m asking for $ 630 which covers to X-Ray, blood work and medication at the Vets that I use.

I’ve writing a blog post on the site that I’ve dedicated to my dogs which is located here (opens in a new window). I have short videos of her trying to walk and there two that were filmed outside, while the third was filmed inside of my place.

I’m planning to try to film Lolo again during this next week before going into the vets. I’m, also, planning to take video of her shortly after we visited the vets. Mainly to share the progress of improved physical health to those who have help.

Have a good rest of the week and weekend.

Missing Photographs

An abandoned building and Power lines near Virginia City, Nevada.
An abandoned building and Power lines near Virginia City, Nevada.

I’ve looked through some photographs that I’ve taken over the last couple of years looking for a series of photographs that I took with my iPhone or Canon camera while I was staying at Lake Tahoe. I took this series of photos back in the Fall of 2014, apparently, I didn’t back up my phone with these specific photos with my dogs while Lily Lake near Fallen Leaf Lake in the Sierra Nevada’s. They were on my phone that I wrecked in the fall of 2014 and couldn’t and wasn’t able to use the contents of the phone; let alone to erase the phone before I was able to send it in after I got the replacement phone. Another possibility is that I might have deleted these specific photo’s but I doubt that I did that.

A Narrative Story

For some time I’ve been having – what could be or is a narrative type story going through my mind recently. It’s a type a of story that doesn’t have a person to person interaction.

This is the south end of Fallen Leaf Lake at twilight.
This is the south end of Fallen Leaf Lake at twilight.

It is a story that takes place in point of time in about 50 to 60 years from now and it would be one of those events that would or could change the course of history – in the case future history of the planet. It would happen to take place when the planet is visibly dying and there isn’t much time left to have generational ships leave the planet to seed other habitual planets in nearby systems.

What has been circulation around my mind is a broad event where there are at least 4 to 6 older space fairing species that would visit the planet to look for someone who’s from a much older time but not old enough to be considered a part of the “first ones” – a term coined in Babylon 5.

There would also be some elements from other TV shows that have been off the air for some time. When I think of setting for this one event I imagine elements from various shows that had been on the air in the last 15 years.

The part of the problem is that I’m having trouble flushing out the details of this story that I have – I see the big overall picture – it’s just the interaction between people and the sequence of events that lead up to this point and the sequence after this one point.

If and when I would sit down to write something about this narrative that I have been thinking about – I probably would get a draft of all the little details and filled into the story.

I’m not in a conducive environment to write a good thought out story of this nature.

The comments should be open for those who want to know more….

Help my Disabled Brother

Hello all

I’m asking for a little help for my disabled brother who has diabetes and has a prosthetic leg. The help I’m asking for is to help fix his car that he needs to get to his prosthesis and to see his diabetic doctors.

He has been using rent money to pay for taxi’s to and from his doctor’s and by doing that he has been evicted from his apartment, so now he is homeless too.

If you are able to help him or us to get his car fixed and here is a way to help him by donating at: Go Fund Me. There’s more details on the Go Fund Me page.

There is obligation on your part – meaning you the followers to help. This would be one of the rare times I would be asking for any kind of help in raising funds.

Thanks for any help that might be able to give him.

Peter
