ha ha. you ever been in about 100% humidity and near 100 degrees F? That "regime" is more absolute than any monarch. If every blade of grass were a pen, and oceans filled with ink, 8 billion scribes could not write legislation and rules enough to be that oppressive. . . . well, until you learn to just love it for what it is.

moreover, my wife has a regime that far surpasses all that, though fortunately, if I care to consider the matter carefully, she is commensurately more lovable.

I reject the "regimen" suggestion as sounding too much like a weight-loss diet. . . . nope. . . the word is indeed "regime".
 
The British work the other end of the scale quite effectively. . . .

typically called "British Understatement".

it would seem to some that the upper crust is entitled to expect intelligence in their subjects, and if it's just not there it's time to thin the herd.

I see this joy in my dogs, when I open the gate and step out of the way, with nothing to stop them within the four horizons. . . . .

How?

“Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience and Other Essays

"the song?"

Well, obviously. . . . this imperative is merely a vain attempt, in this specific case, to rattle the shackles of a particularly obdurate progressive. . . . .

though, generally, political ideologues as a generic class are folks who have embraced their particular cause, whatever it may be, with a cadaverous clasp while continuing to speak in a sort of death-rattle that informs the experienced observer that cogitation has ceased.
 
My children and I are now Whobies. When I come home, and mom goes to bed, the kids come to my room and we watch Dr. Who.

Your mention of "the song?" reminds me of the Ood. Some of the nicest non-people ever imagined by Sci-Fi writers. They have a song of their own.

I think everyone should have a song of their own.

funny thing is, even so, these dogs who will bounce up and down like maniacs when they see me coming, will follow me around like there's no other place to be.

well, some of them, that is. The boys will run, and outta sight sometimes. . . . even some of the girls can do that sometimes. But I was amazed the other day. My two rowdiest girls, whom I had feared to let out. . . . well, when I finally decided it just had to be done even though they have the largest kennel. . . .. didn't have anything to do when they were out except sit at my feet and give me doggie kisses. After some months. . . . they are young pups still. . . . of me just sitting on their dogloo and loving them every time I could. . . translated into a sort of notion that there really isn't anything else to do. . . . .

well, I'll have to work on that problem. Running dogs have just gotta run.

maybe I should run too.

My daughter will holler out Dr. Who every time we are scrolling through netflix. I usually say "Those are all old episodes and we have watched them more than once." Her response "So?"
 
Speaking of "Movin On", yesterday the cowboys came, in force. Seven horsemen. My bull had them taking life seriously, but they got him on the truck. He did jump on fence, and was looking like he would take another. . . . corral fences six feet high. He jumped from one into another, where he found my eight-foot plywood panels just enough of a bluff he decided not to do it. . . ..

The cowboys were asking if I really wanted to ship him out. . . .

I said I loved him like a son, but I can't afford him anymore because half my cows are his daughters and they're gonna give me hell enough.

We haven't seen them all yet.

I expect that same "So?" soon enough.

You aren't quite deep enough into the Dr. Who counter-culture to recognize that they are usually referred to as "Whovians". My daughter went to Reno's version of comicon, SNAFU-con, dressed as a weeping angel and my son went as the tardis. Pretty decent costumes too. Did you go to the limited screening of the 50th anniversary special at a movie theater near you? My daughter and son went in full Dr. Who regalia. It an get a bit extreme.

I watched the first season of the "new" Dr. Who and found it rather meh for my tastes. I am more of a Star Trek/Star Wars/Firefly scifi fan, I guess.
