He's got more cool in his pinky than ten of the rest of us got in our whole bodies.

one last pic from the 16th I just got off my camera- last light before the sun dropped. We were already in shadow.
Got us a new pup couple of months ago. Sweet dog, good-natured to a fault, chews everything, clumsy as hell, a lummox, basically just one big huge DOOFUS! No better way to say it.
I had cats all my life. I'm not used to dogs. This one just wants to lay on top of you, wherever you sit or lie down. Not against you, on a bed, but on top, head over your neck, legs over your stomach, your face all wet from getting licked. Wags it's tail so hard it's whole ass-end swings with it in an arc a foot wide.
And speaking of a big doofus...
... bath time again...

Pete,
That picture of the Fall color is wonderful ... our color here is not the best this year due to the continued drought conditions.
A picture of a boy and his dog ... now that is a "classic" for sure!
Going to the Moonshine Festival in Dawsonville, GA (home of Bill Elliot) this week end ... plenty of '40 Ford coupes on display along with music and food.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Pete, lovely photos, again. They remind me of an America that I still care about. Thanks.

Simply breathtaking, Petey. Do you ever feel you died and went to heaven?
Just got back from the office in Boulder, CO. It was 70 outside, but looking out my office window, there was a blizzard laying down snow up and beyond the Flatirons. Flurries of snow were flying and swirling at the peaks and the alluvial moraine fans at upper altitudes were a sight to behold, coated in snow in October.
I've equipped the remote office in Boulder with a tri-cross bike and winter bike clothes. Instead of renting a car, I now shuttle from DIA to the office, break out the bike, and pedal to the hotel (Boulderado, of course). Be interesting to see how this works in January. I am older than wood and hate being cold, but warm up pretty fast when riding. The younger folk in Boulder seem to take to this.
Back home, in SD, everyone is a bit edgy. 80 degree days and calm, but it was exactly a year ago that the Witch Creek Fire changed everything. A strong Santana wind could be trouble. I used to enjoy the hot dry heat from the winds and the opportunity to have a warm early evening on the beach, but not any more. We have only just fixed everything (ashes everywhere) so we are not liking this at all.

San, If you are up in Boulder and the snow hasn't closed it yet check out the "Fall River Road" between Estes Park and the road that goes thru Rocky Mountain Natl Park (forgot the name) between Grand Lake and Estes Park. It is part of the original road, gravel/switch backs/narrow etc, long since bypassed and a real joy to travel. If memory serves it is restricted to one way travel. Many years back we lived in Grand Lake, beautiful country but it gets old when both of us worked pretty much 7/24 for about 7 to 8 months out of the year.

Yupper, I do. I love it here. Right now, all the field corn is dead on the upright, but there isn't a single stalk that doesn't hold 150 shades of brown, burnt umber, ochre, beige and buff, chocolate, sienna and tan, russet and rust. I'd need Tramp or Willie here to name them all. Gorgeous.
And now's the time of combines reaping and augering heaps of pure gold into tractor-drawn wagons, and the somewhat startling effect of having views lost to the height of the corn, for several months, now quite suddenly reappearing. It's a trip.
But it's a beautiful world where ALL of us live. I'm just the only one rude enough to keep throwing pictures on here.
Nice shot of the mountains! ('cept for some hobo that wandered into the view.
). Hev's Amish farmlands are gorgeous, Wayne's shots of Arizona, Andre's of Florida, Jon's of Missip, yours of SD, gorgeous all. If only I could talk Daisy and Tramp into throwing on some of the waterfront and Maine coast!
