Okay. Now I'm definitely not doing it.

I do have a small one. My cat is obsessed with tinsel, so it has to be up anyway.

Beagles doin' what beagles do best (wait, that would be eating!); beagles snuffling along like little pigs. They make little snorting sounds as they track different smells in the woods ...



Lucy working hard ...



And Katie works hard to cover other animals' scents ...



Beagle playground ...

Quite an interesting newish singer ...



I dig her experimental vocal style, and her raw talent.

Also, great choice of songs.

Original ...

Just watched the Bowie-Lennox vid. One of my favorite songs. I'd never seen this version before -- what stage presence they both have.

As did Freddie, RIP.

Made me think of something a friend posted on Facebook not too long ago. Brian May -- Dr. Brian May -- of Queen at NASA.

There really are second chapters for all of us.

Hee hee...

Forgot I took this Pic for all youse at the local Convenience Store.

This Bad Boy was at least 18" wide, and 12" high. Permit me to convert -> 2.27 Kilos. 3,635 Grams. 128 Ounces. Size matters.

Coma, coma, coma, coma, coma Chameleon...

Besides making some 21 Year-old fabulously happy when you were 14 at Gran's, Bim, my other Calculations indicate you did not comply with the Universal Rule-Of-Thumb established by a Pal/Mentor/Former Boss. Coincidentally, he's an Astrophysics Grad like Brian May. The minimum age for mutual dalliance is: 'Half Your Age, Plus 5 Years'. While an Adolescent, that is. 10.5 Years + 5 Years = 15.5 Years old - minimum - to Jump Start the proverbial Battery of any 21 Year old. Good thing none of us ever bent The Rules, eh?

'14 Will Get Cha 20', to paraphrase the Old Saying...

Me, I'd opt for 'Melina & The Moles', in terms of Culinary preferences. I thought that a good Band name, too. I luuuuuvs me some Mole. 'Round here, we get some good ones, since local Dives feed Farmworkers, and the Aspen/Telluride Labor Pool.

Mesa....I like the Cadbury candies right next to the Hershey's Bar! Omg could eat those all day! Remember giant jaw breakers?? And giant candy canes? I used to get swatted at for leaving them lying around sticking to everything. Those were the days....

Thanks, Brynn

I look at their faces and can't help but feel they are the best dogs in the world, lol. They are beautiful. I think I must be a "mommy" to feel this way, cause all dog parents must feel this way.

Mesa, I've come to the conclusion that your friends calculations go out the window when hormones are involved! Who has time for math?!?!

Well...I sneaked out to see him...doesn't mean anything happened.


When I was 20 we did knock boots, though. What a letdown - and I still got in trouble because I chose to stay out all night and that was a nono. Sometimes the fantasy is way better than the reality. Grandpa was sitting in the recliner in the living room at 5AM when I tried to sneak in.

you are all outta control.... Why did no-one second my motion to keep the other thread going?
Never saw Bowie, but I did see Pat Metheny at the Tower a 'few' years ago.
I was thinking Panic In Detroit myself - like the Philadelphia Eagles on t-day.
Love that album, yes, album, my dog ate my copy of the CD - still have it with teeth marks. And why do I have 2 copies of ziggy stardust?

Was out sitting in the dark around 6AM. Nice morning, going back out after lunch.

It was supposed to rain by 9AM - but it got pushed back. Who knows, if it starts to rain, I'm done for the day. Monday starts the 'gun season' in PA. Stay out of the woods.



Oh Bim, don't you mean 'training' braless?

I remember "sneaking in" to my grandparents' house on some very early weekend mornings (after some drunken, late nights with friends or boyfriends) ... never failed, my grandmother was wide awake. Every. Single. Time.

We were talking here about Adele recently. Watch her knock this Version outta Da Park. The Classroom Instruments absolutely cracked me up. She's dead-on Pitch. With a Melodica, no less. Hopefully, Copyrights will allow this to play over The Pond, too.

This old Audio Engineer noted that she's got some serious Pipes, like the '40s and '50s Singers had to have to cut Records. Not one of these whispering Sinead O'Conner types where you've got to turn up the Mic Volume to '11' to get Signal.

The Morning Coffee Amp got me above. Only 80 Ounces in that 5 lb. Hershey Bar. Hee hee...
