Yeah, but during the winter was your dad diabolical enough to chain the meanest dog within reach of the path ?

My brother and I only learned his secret when we saw him give that dog a piece of back-bacon on his way to visit the biffy.

Give me a minute or two and I'll think up some more - -
I'll take some of those ideas into consideration.

I was thinking more along the lines of drinking all the world's beer in alphabetical order.

I desperately don't want to pass anything along to my parents.
Space is a godsend during a pandemic.

Since i"m not quarantined, I have been going for walks. I try not to go where it's too busy. It's the grocery store visits that I worry about.

Might I suggest you cut back on the beer consumption prior to your walks …..
