A few years ago that happened to me and my folks going home from visiting my cousin. Thinking about it, I still wonder why they’re walking when they could fly? I mean, it’s so much quicker to fly…
Hey tim
I’m doing good as it’s a sunny and warm day today.
Plus, there were no Canada Geese having a get together on the road this morning, so that’s a plus. Last Monday, I was out, and about five (with more on the adjacent verge) thought hanging out on the road was a great way to spend their Thanksgiving. 🙄
I hope you’re doing well and having the same weather I am, because it is glorious. 😊

I'm awake when I should be sound asleep, but other than that I'm doing okay.
I hope all is well with you, and that goes for the rest of the DiCers as well

I didnt realize this was the retelling of Homer's The Illiad (according to what I found when I looked it up) which I read over 30 years ago for a class at uni.
Seeing as you liked this one, you should read The Oddyssey which is Homer's epic poem about Odysseus, the King of Ithaca.
They had some of the walls as well. Some in really bad shape and some very much intact. It was something to imagine the people who would have been looking at those walls so long ago that I could see nearly 2000 years later.
I went to the Vesuvius exhibit at the ROM back in 2015, I think it was. Seeing all the casts they had of people and animals who were killed in the eruption was so sad. There was a sort of dignity and grace to the exhibit, though, which was good.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your cuddly friend, Dodger.
I’ve been where you are now, so I can tell you grieving for your beloved pup is never wrong, no matter what else is going on in the world beyond our own lives.
Well then, thank you @Wayne Gray, because this is a mighty fine title. Makes one stop and think about what it’s really saying as it’s quite the oxymoron.
