Fred Basset by Alex Graham for August 25, 2024

They ALWAYS do. Amazing how they do that.

well Fred, the older we get the better we were…

Wait until you are older and all directions are uphill.

It’s like walking up steep steps. They’ll get you all the time.

Bummer, now you need to go down :)

Fred part of the reason why I go for a walk every day ! So Quarry Hills don’t slow me down :-)

Both of you are not getting any younger, Fred!

At least it’s downhill from there

Ah, the good ole days!

I was 12 the first time I climbed Mt. Washington with fellow campers from East Waterford Maine.

everything seems to be getting heavier as I get holder and the floor is much farther away when I drop something

You can always blame it on geologic processes, Fred.

But it was a good walk, Fred was happy to go, Mr. Dear didn’t get cranky and they both got good exercise…together. A good Sunday.

The exact same thing happened to my dog and me on the Salish trail in Pacific Spirit Park between the Admiralty trail and Chancellor Boulevard in Vancouver, BC.

I am with you Fred neither one of you are getting younger

No hills to climb in my neighborhood, but I do live on the third floor of an old building with no elevator. So I go down and up three flights of a winding staircase at least two or three times every day. On good days I arrive back home in decent shape; on not-so-good days, I arrive huffing and puffing, but I always arrive, even when loaded down with shopping bags or a large bulky laundry bag.
