Sand Demon Attack - DUCK!

I bet you never knew there were Sand Demons. I didn't either... then...

I got a dog.

I am now aware, second hand to be sure, of Sand Demons.

It's the only logical conclusion I can draw from the actions of said dog. Where ever he finds loose sand (evidently that's where they prefer to live) he attacks the sand with a ferocity that is awesome to behold.

Now understand, I still lay claim to being a sane rational human being. I just acknowledge that there might well be entities that I can't see or sense. That's not an uncommon point of view. In fact most all humanity holds that view, of one flavor or another.

I however have evidence. My dog informs me that they are there. No, he doesn't talk (see previous post about insanity!) but from his actions I can infer little else.

They only live in certain kinds of sand... fairly loose and 'clean' without much in the way of detritus. I think Danny digs down to find their larders, since he always comes up with somethng vegetable in nature. Nothing "fresh" you understand. Well buried and aged bark, small pine cones, and things I have no intention of identifying.

Those poor souls out there that don't have a Sand Demon Attack Dog are to be pitied. This San Demon thing may explain some of those disappearances that we hear about on the news. Children, being smaller, may be more susceptible to their attack. So, if you have kids, buy a dog!

I can recommend the Golden Retriever breed as they seem to be quite sensitive to Sand Demon spoor.

Ah, you scoff at this... think about how many people you know believe in things they can't prove beyond the common:

• I read...
• I heard...
• I was told...
• It must be true because...
• A lot of people believe it, so it must be true!
• I heard a voice that said...

Ok... so the last one again recalls my post on sanity... although... "A lot of people believe in... and have talked to.... so it must be true.

If you haven't got a dog, what's a person to do?

Well... this may be a strange thing to say but... have you considered "thinking"? It is almost a lost art. Go ahead, display that cognitive power you were gifted with, reason it out, apply Occam's Razor. (hint - if you have to look it up, you may need some cognitive exercises.) A good exercise is to watch commercials and separate out what they said and what they implied or suggested. It helps to sit real close to the TV so you can see the little tiny disclaimer they flash on screen. If you have TIVO, you can freeze the screen so you can read it. It's usually not on long enough to actually read.

TV commercials aren't the only place to get exercise... listen critically to most anyone trying to convince you of something. It will eventually be quite enlightening and even hilarious.
