Theeese eese strange dog, no?

Zee strange, strange dog. Vee both having the fun, when loud vife is making yell at me and video over. Not mean to dog. Nice to dog!

Hitchcock birds

the Swifts have moved in. These shots are from a dive-bombing session on our front porch, last week. There's four of them zipping around and squawking, while the resident Mockingbird is screeching, and sometimes a Grackle is also in the middle of this mess. It's bizarre. Now, the Swifts are federally protected and the Mockingbird has state protection, so that leaves the Grackle. I want the Grackle. Where's my rubber-bands? Yea, the THICK ones...

Flirting with Death

We had a recent brush with Death (Ded Bob) @ the Sherwood Forest Faire Ren-Fest (near Elgin). It's a new location on the circuit, and in its second year, it is the best I've seen yet. It's in Lost Pines, and has a wider variety of vendors, and more "characters" mixed in. And just an hour away, if you don't stop at Meyers or Southside Market in Elgin. Beats the Hell out of the Houston Ren-Fest, with its gangs and 3-foot tall frozen banana margaritas, and parking-from-Hell.

Below, see the Big-Bellied-Horse-boy. We waited around to see if he'd go in the mens room...Trish posted more shots on her fbook page. Click-on fattyman to link to sherwoodforestfaire.com

sometimes it's NOT a dog's life...

like when you are naked in the snow. Buddy is looking for higher ground on this Freeeaky Cold Friday morning. Earlier this week, it was swimsuit weather. Go Texas.

bad boys, bad boys. whatcha' gonna' do?

I found this tin-type in an antique mall. The photo is really dark, but a little Photoshopping brought out this motley crew who probably stepped out of the tavern for a quick shoot between drinks and cards. Check out the scoundrel second from the right, with the handfull of playing cards. Must have been up his sleeve. I'm guessing the date between 1890 and 1905 by the bowlers and handlebar mustaches (the two guys in the middle being dressed the same). Guy on the middle-left is standing like he's packin'. Guy on the left almost looks like a Canadian mountie. off duty, of course.

Hey, Bill! Recognize this 1979 vintage? Like I said, it seems like Ross gave me these. Andy and I opened the "sister bottle" back around 1985. I recall it was full-bodied with a hint of Pennzoil 30/15, and about 1000 proof. One sip made me sweat like a green jalapeno. God knows what's inside this bottle. I used it for a prop in a murder-mystery dinner, last year. I played a poofy-Frenchman-wine connoisseur. Someone suggested it looked like prohibition era hooch...

Ellie/Mac @ the park.

Continuing education...

gotta' learn'em early... MacIntosh. Apple. Mac. No mas. What you can't see here, is the Dell Inspiron laying on the floor being NOT used... Even a baby can tell the difference. Me, Ellie, and of course, Mac on the MacBook looking at Hannah Montana sites. It's the best of both worlds.

Gabby Gets License to Pray

Re: Infestation in Cedar Park

New RatDog species reported. Be sure to spray well.

BreadMan says "ask yourself..."

are you the kind of person who only sees the hole in the piece of white bread, or are you the type who sees that wonderful delicious remainder of culinary white heaven? Better make a choice while there's time...

STOMP!!

Do you need further proof of our Cedar Park Citizenship? Dressing up dogs and video-camming? This is T-cup, or TeaCup which is either a gansta name or just a really stupid name. We don't feed her during weekdays so we can say she's a "mini".

Oh, to be a kid...

yep. It's that good.

Buddy's moment of fame, besides the day he sent a kid to the emergency room.
