Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports that the keeper and Phyllis stayed up past their bedtime to watch Biden and Kamala greet the return of the former Russian prisoners, agreeing that the airport blend of show biz., politics and basic humanity was worth the time.
It recalls a recent post that showed a mother duck standing by while her brood of ducklings is rescued from a storm sewer by an efficient fire department.
There are many other examples—cats rescued from perilous perches, deer freed from fences, turtles assisted across the road.
Some things—compassion and decency are so basic that it is impossible to see how they become contentious aspects in a so called enlightened culture.
Given the late hour, the keeper laid awake thinking about that—for about ten seconds and then it was off to join Phyllis in LaLa land.
