I'll add the blog to the list of blogs I check every day. With regard to the dogs, I thought that you were going to write that they turned nasty again as soon as it was clear you weren't going to be providing scratches on a permanent basis, so this is a much better outcome. I used to ride my bike in a rural area of southeastern Ohio when I was an undergraduate, and there was a notoriously vicious dog that would come charging out of a house and chase bicyclists on a route that I favored. It got so bad that some cyclists took to carrying a chain with a heavy lock just to use as a "bollo" in case they were attacked. I never did so; I figured I'd swing, miss the dog, and get the chain entangled in my front wheel at 15 miles per hour.

It's not the same calculus of risk. It's more of a build and live, and if a storm knocks you down, rebuild and live again. Houses are not seen as such permanent places, but more as transient shelters in our transient lives. Very different from what I'm used to, but ironically it can lead to a much more resiliant approach to the fragility of life.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13424544886582839938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3916447777056971449.post-21622541738574097592014-04-04T08:27:26.007-04:002014-04-04T08:27:26.007-04:00very nice pictures,this great post.
