As usual, earth day snuck up on me. As PJ O'Rourke once said he did, I celebrated it by snacking high on the food chain and mixing all my recycling into the garbage. I went out to burn some hydrocarbons with the hot rod bike. I had a far different post planned and mostly written … Continue reading Happy Earf Day!

Someone is digging a belly rub
Reynosa, Mexico
I'm still struggling to come up with a handle for the new girl. Herself 2.0? She's not really a Herself. Too much feminine charm for that. It'll hit me. She invited me to Reynosa to see where she grew up, her hometown. She has a house there that she inherited, and it needed sorting out. … Continue reading Reynosa, Mexico
Winston Visits the Vet

I miss the big guy. Notice the totally unconcerned look. He had jaws like a vice. No one was getting that ball unless he wanted them to have it.

I'm off this week, fixin' to head south with the Girl, so I had a ton of errands to run today, most important of which was to get dog food for the pups for the week. Followed by updating Winston's chip information and registering Aria's. The checker at Tom … Continue reading Whole Lotta Nothin’

Aria loves basketballs too.
Spring has Sprung
For most of my life, Fall has been the season for me. I loved the snap in the air, the smell of the leaves. All the colors. There really isn't anything like walking in the mountains or woods when there's a hint of frost. Summer in the DC area is miserable and hot so the … Continue reading Spring has Sprung
