lonely dog

 when i was taking a walk in the afternoon i passed by some houses with dogs as usual. what surprised me a little was one house where the dog didn't greet me with barking. at the end of the fence it put up its front legs like it wanted to be petted. i just said 'bye' and kept walking. so it must have been a lonely dog, it was a big dog, possibly a golden labrador. it was a pretty good day off for me for the thanksgiving holiday. before the football games began i put in a DVD, it was the annual viewing of the movie 'planes trains and automobiles'. seen it many times before, not sure if i noticed anything from this viewing. there is plenty of music throughout, and i still think the most impactful songs were the instrumental ones. a rock version of  'red river valley' and one called 'power to believe'. i still think of it as showing four now-defunct airlines, representative of what has happened in the industry since deregulation. the four either shown or mentioned were swallowed up or liquidated. of the three games, the first one was the one i watched the most of, packers-lions, a packers win. i did the midday meal, the first of two turkey dinners in the microwave oven, during this game. i drank the cans of surly and indeed with these meals so now four beers are waiting. after it was done i went on the longest walk of the day. second game was cowboys over the commanders. i put in another DVD, the annual viewing of the charlie brown thanksgiving special. then i watched the 'big bang theory' reruns, no surprise how both were about turkey day. it was when bernadette's dad bonded with sheldon and they talked football, while leonard helped penny get an annulment on a las vegas marriage to zac. it was followed by the one where elon musk was a guest star in a soup kitchen, while sheldon and amy go to the aquarium as friends. this was why i didn't see much of the second game. third game was a 49ers win over the seahawks, saw some of it but took another walk during it. during my walks i found 1 dollar 57 cents. i picked up a postcard  at a bus stop that was promoting an event at a venue next month that interests me.
