@yippie I don't know if "real philosopher" means person who studied and practices philosophy or person with a lot of wild ideas about the world, but either way that's amazing!

@Tardigarde A I think that’s the distinction between a philosopher and a ‘coffeehouse’ philosopher.

Listener Robert:

Having fallen back asleep with WMFU on, I dreamed I was there and about to make breakfast for you, and then chckened out. Instead I started to just make it for myself, and pulled out one egg, and then from the opposite corner of the carton I started to pull out another egg, when it cracked in place, and you know what a mess that leaves in the carton. I was wavering over whether to go thru with my original plan and use them all, when I woke up.

going to the vet during pandemic was lousy - they wouldn't let you in with your pet so you couldn't ask questions on the fly or be there with your buddies when they needed you.

strandlund - that's hard. we had to let fraidy cat go in june and the vet let us in. have to be there for them to see you and be brushed while it goes on. we bring them home and bury them with perennial bulbs. when the daffodils come up they are still giving to us.

Listener Robert:

Just before quarantining was about to start, we got a vet to make like an "all aboard" house call before that ship sailed, to euthanize Bob's VERY old long-hair chihuahua. A year later Bob died from diabetes-complicated Covid. Good thing Bob didn't die before his dog, because she didn't trust anybody else.
