It was in the mid-70s for most of the day.<\/p>\n<p>First, at the dog park where Scout and Tila continued their studies in canine socialization. Scout is a pitbull mix and could readily rip apart most of the other dogs at the park should he wish (his 5 mile sprints aka blood runs, have in part prepared him for this), yet sadly he is such a wimp when he is around other dogs. He is incredibly fast though &#8211; so we enjoy showing him off by throwing tennis balls which he can get to before any of the other dogs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/new-years-day-at-the-park-playing-cards-and-reading.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1047\" title=\"new-years-day-at-the-park-playing-cards-and-reading\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/muchachopolaco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/new-years-day-at-the-park-playing-cards-and-reading.jpg?resize=300%2C224&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"new-years-day-at-the-park-playing-cards-and-reading\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Later we sat near a nice pond and Yun and her parents played SkipBo while I finished up Riggebach&#8217;s book <em>Why American History is not What They Say<\/em>. Its not the most helpful or entertaining thing I have read recently, but it did end strong and has inspired a few other books of a similar genre.<\/p>\n<p>On the way home, we stopped at Fiesta Market for the necessary items to prepare carne asada for dinner (my favorite meal).
