The BOMB

Welcome to the BOMB.



The Blog Of the "Mother" of Bandit.
Bandit is my Hairless Chinese Crested--he's the "normal" one. I, on the other hand, am unrepentantly "pet-crazy." You know the type--the spinster who lives in the haunted house three blocks over with 72 cats...okay, so I don't have 72 cats, and my house isn't haunted--but my dogs wardrobe is better than mine! Need I say more? :~)
I've never been consistant at journaling, so the timing of my blogs will be sporadic at best. I just hope they are as entertaining to you as they are to me; however, be forewarned: Most of my blogs will be about The BaldOne. In spite of his Don King "do," I think he's just as cute as any of the Brothers B!
Now, if I can just remember not to get him wet--or feed him after midnight...

About Me

My photo
My bags are packed and I'm always ready to seek out an adventure with Bandit and Moggy in tow. Bandit is my thirteen year old Chinese Crested, who I frequently call The Bald One or The BaldOne Boy (like he was one of the Baldwin Brothers). Moggy’s full name is Pip-Moggy. He’s my two year old gansta-resuce kitty. I couldn’t decide between Pip (which are the spots on die and domino tiles) and Moggy (or Moggie when I mistakenly thought he was a she), so I combined the two. Moggy refers to the British term for "cat of unknown parentage .” So in essence, I have an almost bald dog, and I’ve named my cat “Spot.”

V is for View: A to Z Blogging Challenge 2018

The plan:  Drive Devils Backbone, snap a few photos, and write a post about vacation views. I should have looked at the map and checked the weather.

Oh well.  On to Plan B.

I'll still blog about view.  But with a slightly different connotation...

One of my docs once told me an anecdote about 100 blind people being led to an elephant and being asked to describe it.

One described a long tube with a wet end. Another was tickled by a feather at the end of a rope. Another felt the wind from a fan

The descriptions continued one after another. No two descriptions were exactly the same.

Which one was correct?

They all were.

The wet tube was the nose after being dipped into water. The rope and feather was the tail. The moving air  was caused by the flapping of ears. And so on.

The story points to the fact that our experience, knowledge base, and point of view colors our perception. As we experience different things, learn more, and change our points of view our perceptions may also change.

What doesn't change is the elephant.

Truth is like the elephant. Our perception of Truth may be colored by our experience, knowledge base, or point of view; however, although we may change, the Truth remains unchanged.

    I heard the elephant story before. I like it. It's true. We all see what is in front of us, not always getting to the deeper meaning.

    Agreed. It's too often the easy, lazy way. Thanks for the read.
