Remember When...

   Remember when being a kid meant using your muscles and mind to play?

When this opened up a whole new world for exploration!

When this was what you did when you were bored!

A whole day was spent catching these!




Getting in trouble with one of these!



Being on top of the world at the top of these!

Doing this all day!



Building Rome in an hour!



Creating new inventions!



Winning all the marbles...and Steelies!



Being Superman!




Melting these!





Building these! (and drooling)





And building these...Awesome!




Playing frisbee with these when Mom's not around! (trouble)




When this was the coolest thing to have! (Craig Powerplay)




Drooling over these and dreaming of the day of driving one!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the pooch chased his tail.

Too Much Saturated Scat In The Canned News Network

Shock and Awe reporting!

 In your face inflated facts w/pictures to regale you with the woes of the world. All to garner that almighty "Click".

 I'll take a newspaper any day over a web page, at least with the newspaper I can give it its rightful due and wipe with it when I am finished reading the feces within the lines! 

 Meanwhile, back at the ranch. the pooch is blissfully ignorant of world affairs!

A Familiar View

 Imagine being the first explorer to see this. I would have gone no further...at least until it started raining. ;-)

 Meanwhile, back on the beach, the pooch pondered!

Welcome To The Machine

With a few verbose modifications this would be a perfect political ascension song. Of course, one could also analogize this to the rite of passage one experiences when they pay taxes for the first time! 



 Meanwhile, back at the music shop, the pooch raised a leg to EMI and SONY!

Free Adventures For The Imagination

 Call me old fashioned but, there is no substitute for the feel and smell of an old book in all its printed glory! An old book absorbs a history all of its own with each readers perusal of its pages of imaginative wonder and adventure for the senses. Each dog eared page and coffee stain adds character and speaks volumes of the places and people the book has enriched along the way. Just holding an old book causes pause to ponder who has shared those pages before and where they were when they escaped for a time into another world of fact, fiction, or imagination.

  Meanwhile, back at the library, the pooch read about a tree his ancestors scented!

A Great Day To Be Alive

 9 degrees never looked better! 


 Meanwhile, back at the window, the pooch curled up by the wood stove!

Seeking Spring

Nothing to see here today other than some wishful thinking for sunshine over the Thumb!


"If the sun don't come up tomorrow
People, I have had a good time
I’m just laid up here in a country state of mind"
Hank Jr. 

Meanwhile, back on the island, the pooch pondered the falling snow!
