I have learned the lesson to avoid stepping in dog shit, through my experience of that.In spite of that the dog shit does not always get avoided.Shit happens and so does stepping in it.Even so,wisdom dictates I do not walk through the house with it on my shoes. (Yes,RS,my wife's name is wisdom) The autopilot can't always be trusted.Sometimes awareness needs to be at the wheel.
