The idea was to put some candy in this little paper basket, put the basket on someone&#8217;s porch, ring the bell and run away.    I don&#8217;t  think I ever did that.  Maybe&#8230;  I don&#8217;t remember having done it.  Anyway, we made May Baskets as the art project in school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m getting used to my sleeping machine.  I usually keep it on all night.  Sometimes I wake up and need a break so I take it off for awhile.  But I&#8217;ve been getting my 4 hours per night and am able to sleep with it on.  I think I am sleeping better but I feel about the same amount of tired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Our neighbors down the road have a very nice brown\/red Labrador dog.  For about the last week he has been escaping almost every day and ending up at our house.   He doesn&#8217;t stay, but he checks in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today he showed up, maybe 9 am.   He messed around awhile.  I opened up the tailgate of my pickup truck and he jumped right in.  I drove him over to his place.  Haven&#8217;t seen him the rest of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I expect he is kind of an expensive dog.  Fortunately we don&#8217;t have a lot of traffic here, someone would probably dognap him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[today&#8217;s run: 3.2 miles] We were coming home from Wal-Mart last night.
