Ysabella and I had a slight divergence of opinion this morning.  She contends that I should not save CA redemption bottles for the man who picks them out of the recycling in our neighborhood.  I say, in these times especially, we must help our fellow man.

She says his pedigree is uncertain and I remind her that she learned from Dharma the dog in Oakland that we are all sentient beings sharing one universal fate.  We do not wish to descend into the abyss of cultural elitism.

Ah, she concurs and demurs. I thank her for being an inspiration for such discourse - she is always so willing to evolve I say.

She says she is weary of being such an inspiration - dog biscuit please.
