To the Ojito Wilderness with a friend and his big German shepherd,  Chaco. Not thirty yards from the car, Chaco joyfully jumped me. I tried to yank my hands out of the pockets of my $2.50 Goodwill vest to fend him off. It tore, and clouds of duckie down floated away on the wind.

We patched the rips with radiator hose repair tape and Band-aids.
