Picture's Only Begun

Kids, it's fucking cold outside. Buy a fucking copy of Street Sense, ok? It costs a lot less than your precious Saturday afternoon brunch or the 10,000 calorie drink you're about to buy from Starbuck's. And it's an honest way to give a sober person a little change.

Feed Jake...He's Been a Good Dog

Jesus, it's been a while. Been busy....I am such a crap
blogger.  If I can even call myself a blogger.  Which I'd
prefer not to do.  Because I'm fucking lazy.

Ok, so the, like, two of you who read this blog probably
know that I'm a Cleveland Park resident.  And despite
the sometimes suburban culture here, I tend to like it.
That said, it's fun to see the City Paper rip on some of
the more asinine quarrels that many of our more entitled
resident engage in.

Today, the CP reported on the apparent scourge on our 
community which is unleashed dogs.

I dunno, I guess I should withhold too much commentary on
this, even though I'll totally run my mouth anyway;
I grew up with monstrous - but gentle - dogs.  Walking
them without a leash was out of the question....and I'm
not sure why it's in the equation for any pet owner,
but whatever).

But it did remind me of a complaint on this city I've
been wanting to make:

My complaint is about people who tie their dogs up
while they are shopping or getting coffee.  That
strikes me as just about the dumbest, most selfish,
irrisponsible thing you could possibly do as a
pet owner.  And as near as I can tell, it takes
place just about everywhere in this city.

You wouldn't leave your three year old outside while
you get your stupid fucking latte fix, and you sure
wouldn't leave your precious bike on the curb
unlocked. Why on earth would you leave your dog
tied outside unupervised??

In the post Michael Vick era, I would expect a
little more common sense from pet owners than
leaving them out to potentially get loose from
their leashes, get hit by a car, or God forbid,
get snatched and turned into target practice for
a pit fighting dog.

Yes, it does happen.

Go shopping on your own damned time, you selfish pricks.
