Funny you should post this.  When the discussion about vacuums was going on, it reminded me of when my Dyson quit.  I gave it to a friend who is handy and whose wife had always wanted one.  I told him it was probably beyond repair, but he said he’d take it apart and see if anything could be done.  Turns out, it was full of dog hair.  He said he took enough hair out of it to make two Carlas!  It worked perfectly after that and his wife loves it.

Yes, I was embarrassed. 🤗

Dog hair and sand killed our previous vacuums.  When we ran the Shark and dumped cannister after cannister of sand and hair into the garbage can out front, it looked like we had a dead body in the can.

It's one reason I've been keeping my hair short.  When it was long, it would wrap around the roller so I, too, have killed vacuum cleaners.

Gak!

Funny how much we invest in our hair, skin and nails because once they're off our bodies they disgust us.

I just realized that it looks like this when I get my hair cut!

Had the strangest experience last night.  I have seen Field of Dreams more times than I can count and it remains one of my favorite films.

When Ray goes to Chisholm, Minnesota to look for "Moonlight" Graham, I always get the oddest feeling.  Something about that town seems so familiar and I always think the same thing: I could live there.

Well, that's not Minnesota, of course, it's Galena, Illinois.  I spent hours last night looking at Galena online and checking out real estate prices.

I'm big on the "going full circle" concept and, for a few hours, returning to Illinois made perfect sense to me.

Then I started thinking about Illinois state government and taxes.

Well, it was a wonderful fantasy while it lasted.

I've said it before: I am loyal as a Lab.  That's why it pains me to ponder life without Alegria.  I've been wearing them for years and, 99% of the time, I'm wearing my red ones to work.

The company hasn't offered an all-red shoe in a very long time so I haven't been able to replace mine.

BH was quick to point out that I don't need shoes.  This is true.  But I can't see being without my red work shoes.

I went online to search.  Found a few pairs of red clogs, mostly Dansko.

And then I found...

Hand-painted Danskos called "Not in Kansas Anymore!"

$230

Again, just another favorite movie -- and fantasy.

It pains me to think that I have become a true desert dweller.

I've sacrificed my skin and hair but it's a small price to pay when I think about that unsettling trickle down the back.
