Sectarian Strife, You Sure Come as A Surprise!

1) Television's reappearance in my life has suggested to me that
our culture has developed a fetish for midgets, Pedro's little friend being the obvious but by no means only example.
2) RE: "get along little doggies," a phrase I deployed on numerous occasions when cattle were strewn across Moose Lake Road like teenagers at a party when everyone is still sober and sullen. (Moose Lake Road is 16 miles of pothole-laden Federal Forest Service road abutting one ranch and a few million acres of public forest land. it is in good ole montany, as were the little doggies.) Evidenly a doggie is a motherless calf. I learned this sometime last spring. Why is this included? Because it surfaced in a dream i had last night, a dream featuring some of those who may someday read this. this phrase was written on a blackboard in a vaguely alma mater-type classroom (gates blake perhaps?) and various acquaintances of mine were sitting staring at the blackboard when i walked through the door. this is the only thing i can remember.
