No washouts on my ride. No sun all morning either, so sweet.

No more nonsensical than someone spray painting that on an underwater slab in the middle of the boondocks.

I have been bitten by cats, in anger, way more often than dogs.

My neighborhood is filled with walkers and dogs and the dogs are all friendly but one widow has two Labrador retrievers and walks them several times a day. One of the two, howls at me if I’m in the garage or yard and even on my bike until I stop and pet him. And, if I don’t pet him long enough, he continues to howl until I do. It’s both heartwarming and annoying at the same time.

He loves you.

My cat inflicted a severe bite on my arm when I first got him. It might be why he got dumped in my area but he got over it.
I had a Doberman once and the stupid cat bit me worse than the dobie ever did.

Retrievers, man. They are the lovingest dogs.

Kind of like Vol but not heartwarming.

Ava The Tapping Pei crossed the Rainbow Bridge last night. Sad. She was quite the celebrity in the Shar Pei world.

He clearly knows exactly what buttons to push to get what he wants. Good boy!

Can you tuck me in, Mommy? - YouTube

Aww.

Until she got too old, and couldn't make it up the stairs to sleep in our bedroom, Lucy used to come over to say goodnight to me when I got in bed, every single night and no matter what time it was. I could come home at 2am and, and she'd be sleeping in her bed, but she'd pop up as soon as I sat on my bed, and she'd come over and visit with me for 10 seconds to end the day.

What's going on in Cobb County this weekend? Don't you have one or two installments of mowing to do?

Grass has stopped growing. I'm not complaining. Mrs. DougRNS is on a weekend with the girls (old biddies) from church so it's me and Roscoe fighting tooth and nail for most awesome of the house.

That's the Northwest Metro Atlanta area as far as you are concerned.

Another productive week. Many things done.

Grass grows on in the quasi north due to abundant rainfall.

Normal people call it Cobb County.

It's stuff like that that leave a mark. We'll never forget each and every one of them.

Last night on the road in Upper Black Eddy, PA. Metric century tomorrow to my local for a celebratory bourbon.

I know you'll be putting up a good fight to try and unsuccessfully unseat Roscoe.
