reflections on life, the 'hood, the belly

Beautiful late September Saturday afternoon: 75 F., 24 C., sunny with the odd wispy cloud wisping around up there. Just returned from a trip up to 'beer store corner', whyte and 112 st., a nice half mile walk each way. There's grocery store, bank, good coffee, beer store and assortment of fast food, optometrist, ballet, tanning.. very girl-friendly and with the beer and the meat and the girls, guy-friendly also. Big hospital and physio faculty across the street.
On my way up (walking north I consider 'up') saw a pair who very much demonstrated that sometimes people and their dogs resemble greatly.  Strong and zaftig (curvy) brunette, really nice brown hair reflecting light, walking strong and zaftig lady Rottweiler. The Rotty was giving me big smiles, the girl had shades on, but also smiling.
(brief work interlude: I work with thousands of repeat customers, and call them to keep em happy and sell em stuff. Today I had 3 names in a row that made me feel like I had stumbled into the gay porn section-  Manhard, Ramsbottom, Cockburn.. You find stupid things to amuse you at work sometimes.)
Good stewing beef at the store, looks like a nice cut, not blade or some crap cut, but still am marinating it for a mighty mighty stew with home-grown veg later. My sis in law grew them, and dropped some off for our consumption. My marinade of the day is soy sauce, garlic, dill, lots of coarse black pepper, and Bullseye hot n spicy bbq sauce. The gal is working weekends, I only do a half-day Saturday, so have taken on the evening feeding on Sat and Sun.

Have a great weekend.  I have a 710 ml Beck's freezerizing for an hour, then I shall consume it when it is just shy of turning to Beck's slurpee.
