Snow... although I do like summer rain.

Winter in the city or summer on the beach?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

Summer on the beach. Warmer and no ice except in my drink. 😊

Relax in the sun or enjoy some water fun (swimming, surfing, whatever)?

The old bookshop owner had something special for Dave.

Well, pushing the Playboy images aside... I'll go with little furry bunnies. 😋

Steak or Burger?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

Burger, though I don't even eat those much anymore.

Falafel or shawarma?

The old bookshop owner had something special for Dave.

Dash - Writer's Block competition entry

Hmmm, probably not... 😐

Ribs or salad?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

Charcoal all the way.

and upon which...

Steak or Fish?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

Baked, preferably with butter, sour cream, and chives

Scary movie or funny movie?

The old bookshop owner had something special for Dave.

Dash - Writer's Block competition entry

Snowboarding... although I have never done either.

Reading or Writing?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

Should be reading more, but writing is what seems to engage me these days. (see sig for evidence)

Handwash dishes or use a dishwasher?

The old bookshop owner had something special for Dave.

Dash - Writer's Block competition entry

I use a dishwasher occasionally but generally prefer to hand wash.

For eating cake, fork or fingers (where either is possible)?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

Depends on the cake. For what we usually call "cake" here, fork. Too soft and loose for fingers. But for something like a fruitcake that's more dense and bread-like, fingers are preferred.

Walk or bike for exercise?

Dash - Writer's Block competition entry

Walk. You would need a death wish to cycle around these parts! 🤣

Coast or country?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

I'll go with the sandcastle.

Train ride through the mountains or a river cruise?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

Toughie. Never tried a river cruise, though it is kind of tempting. There's even some in North America on the Mississippi and similar large rivers now. So that. But a train through the mountains, like the old Canadian, would be fun, too.

Write a novel or write a screenplay?

The old bookshop owner had something special for Dave.

Dash - Writer's Block competition entry

Tough call, but probably a play. I live near Stratford, Ontario and keep swearing that I will start going to their Shakespearean Festival (the biggest in Canada) more. Haven't even looked at this year's playbill yet.

Comedy or tragedy?

The old bookshop owner had something special for Dave.

Dash - Writer's Block competition entry

Now that is a hard one. I love both but going with roses.

Holly bush or monkey puzzle tree?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

Had to look up monkey puzzle tree but I think holly

Take out or eat in the restaurant?

The old bookshop owner had something special for Dave.

Dash - Writer's Block competition entry

I actually enjoy both but I think eating in has the edge.

Dishwasher or washing-up by hand?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

Dishwasher but some things have to be done by hand.

CD or vinyl?

The old bookshop owner had something special for Dave.

Dash - Writer's Block competition entry

I still have all the vinyl I ever had, from 1971 to the present day. CDs are convenient (and I have many), but vinyl sounds better.

The Zombies or Santana?



"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana

Hmmm. Toughie, really. Santana, I think. Great guitarist is an understatement with him.

Wired earbuds or Bluetooth?

The old bookshop owner had something special for Dave.
