The poster child of GI Joe and the lead hero of the Sunbow cartoon. Duke's a frequently talked about character in the eyes of most Joe fans as you tend to either love him or hate him. Admittedly I'm not a huge fan but he's a crucial member to the team regardless. Have to say though, all biases aside, for one the most popular 80's cartoon characters this figure is somewhat lackluster. That's my opinion though, your mileage may vary.

Okay so technically it's not the '83/'84 Duke as this is the Chinese version w/ Hit & Run arms (pretty much TF Duke in v1 paint), but if you don't tell I won't tell.... Even though I told.
Wasn't happy with the other Duke shot in my dossiers set so this is its replacement. Thanks again to RTG for the fig, most mint-looking Duke I've ever come across! Shot w/ the the bonocs and sans helmet to follow, and yes I still hate the green Stalker smg.
This was taken about 10 days before Duke entered the hospital for an auto immune disease... basically his white blood cells are eating his red blood cells. His blood is attacking itself. He's only 5 years old, and very, very sick, so all those who believe in the power of pray, please pray for him to get better. Much appreciated. Will keep you updated. He's been in the hospital for almost a week now. Going to see him tonight with his people...
Added Flypaper white shagreen texture to the back wall.
UPDATE- 7/3/11 Duke is doing better... back from death's door, he came home from the hospital and just started eating and feeling better. This after being in two different hospitals, the second one in New York City. After the second hopital, the doctors told them he's not getting better, put him to sleep. So his peeps picked him up and brought him to his normal vet. But the ride over Duke started showing signs of improvement, so they decided to wait on the euthanasia. And he's been getting better everyday since. He seems to be making a recovery of sorts. Could be a miracle going on here... we can only hope.
UPDATE- 8/3/11 Duke seems to be getting stronger every month. He has a voracious appetite now and is still pluggin' ahead. Not out of the woods yet, but better than he's been in months, so we're very thankful....
UPDATE DATE- 8/25/11 He's pretty much fine now after an event that was touch and go for awhile.... you never really appreciate what you have until you almost lose it. He is loved much and weighs more now than before he was sick. =)))) A great sign after not eating for over the first three weeks! You go Duke!!
Thank you all for your prayers.... God speed.

“The House That Built Me” - Miranda Lambert
www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQYNM6SjD_o
This is the house that I grew up in most of my life, over 20 years of memories here. I’ve moved away and usually live out on the road now, but I come back often when I need to figure life out (like now with COVID, LOL).
It’s full of many little memories that no one else could appreciate:
-“That little back bedroom…where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar".
-The old tree where my favorite cat and dog are buried.
-The spot where my mom stored all the cut out pictures for her dream home from ‘Better Homes and Garden’ magazines and the place where my dad is now laying the foundation of that home, giving life to her dream.
-The spot in the front yard where I built snowmen with my big brother every winter as kids.
-The back porch rocking chairs where my parents still enjoy coffee together every morning.
- The place that housed the people that kept me safe, who taught me how to live and how to love.
This place is part of what made me who I am. It’s not the four walls and roof that made it home to me all these years, but the people and joy that lived inside it.
While I may live many other places in my life, I know that this will always be “home.”
1955 built former Sealink Irish Sea ferry at Llanerch-Y-Mor, North Wales where she's lain since finishing service in 1979.
Dudug unleashed their first artist to work his magic on the ship. The chosen artist and ideal man for the job was notorious Latvian Street Artist KIWIE. He attacked in style creating videos under the guise of bombing the ship illegally without permission. He created two pirate characters which perfectly fitted in with the corruption theme. The website was launched on the night the work was unveiled and the local press were quick to cover the story. KIWIE soon followed up with the true video account of what happened – that he wasn’t there illegally and had been invited by Dudug
A STREET artist from Latvia has been revealed as the man behind the Duke of Lancaster ship graffiti artwork in Mostyn.
The artist, who goes by the name of Kiwie, is from Latvia, and spent 28 hours at the site of the ship, which has been landlocked at Llanerch-y-Mor, near Mostyn, painting two giant pirate ‘Kiwies’ on its sides.
Kiwie, who comes from Riga, explained how he came to be involved with creating the giant graffiti artwork.
He said: “I was told of the Duke from a friend last year and from the moment I saw it I thought ‘wow’. I then found the ship on a number of art blogs and I posted ‘I want to bomb that ship’.
“Nothing happened but then I was suddenly contacted via email in July who told they could make it happen if I was serious. I booked my tickets the following week and I sent back a list of materials the other way which I would need.
“I like to travel around and leave my mark on as many places as possible. My goal is to paint in every city around the globe.
“(The character’s) name is Kiwie. I created this character a while ago, and that’s my iconic mark. Its main goal is to inspire people to do crazy stuff even if it looks impossible. My ideology is based on ‘create not destroy’.”

This building has been a few things since it was a movie theater.
Now it's your worst nightmare.
Unlike similar photos I post here, this was NOT shot in Detroit. Well, almost, but no cigar. This charming little building (once known as the Duke Theater) sits right on Eight Mile Road (made famous by honky rapper M&M), that dreaded dividing line between Detroit and the northern suburbs, in a charming little pocket of trouble called Royal Oak Township, not to be confused with the yuppie restaurant/coffee shop haven a few miles NE, Royal Oak. Probably the only reason this building is still intact, other than the fact Eight Mile is always busy, is that there is a mini-police station around the corner of this site.

Another junction station. this one looks cool, believe it or not there is no wood here! All concrete and steel. I had to pull up into someone's driveway to take this one.

P1070728 Duke's day job is pulling the carriage for horse rides. But at night he becomes his true self - an abstract expressionist artist!
Duke is a 58 lb. 5 year old boxer-pit cross who comes from a very difficult and probably abused background. He has really come out of his shell now. He is an intensely bonding dog to someone who gives him love - he loves to be stroked on his stomach or lying next to you. He is one of the most wonderful dogs I have had the privilege to know. He is blind in one eye, heartworm positive, and has allergies. He has had a 7-in-1 shot and I neutered him. When he came to me, he walked on eggshells, very slowly, as if every step were a dangerous one. He did not want to be near people, and was terrified of going into the house or from the pavement to the grass or into stores. It was more than 2 weeks before I ever saw him run. Now, he is like a puppy in some ways, wanting to start life over, and jumps the fence to train with the puppies. He does well with all of the other dogs, and especially the pups. He defers to almost all of the dogs with great dignity and quietness, but does growl when he gets annoyed. He is quite impressive in that he can climb fences - climbing a 6 foot fence with barbed wire on top is no problem for him, and he handles this quite nonchalantly. He comes alive with cows, and loves to herd them. In fact, this herding instinct comes out at the dog park with Dante. When Dante gets too excited, Duke herds him becoming very focussed and nipping at him. They have had 2 fights since I have had them (7 weeks), neither of which have had any puncture wounds, but they do require physical strength to break up. One fight was over access to the bed, the other fight was over food. Duke absolutely deserves to be on a bed in a home with a very patient caretaker. He is quite a stubborn dog, but has learned sit, down, fetch a ball, and come. He already knew shake. He will follow closely and can be managed without a leash outside of the car. He does not walk well on a leash - hates them requiring a harness, in fact. He will come to a complete halt on the leash, unwilling to budge, and yet when you drop the leash, he follows quite readily.
Duke and Dante are adorable to watch - Dante puts his head on Duke to sleep, or sometimes they sleep back-to-back; Duke feels strong running next to Dante's size. Duke is shy around people, especially men, and needs a lot of encouragement overcoming some of his fear issues. He is fearful, but not aggressive, and fine with kids. Duke is current on shots, and on ivermectin weekly. He was started on Doxycycline to treat heartworm, but I was unable to afford to continue it. He is on weekly doses of Ivermectin and Praziquantel for heartworm and tapeworm. His heart is otherwise in good shape.
Update 2/20/09. Duke got pneumonia after some really intense exercise. I think he had problems clearing it because of the heartworm causing clots in his lung. Although, active, happy, exercising, and eating and drinking, I could hear wheezing in the AM, with coughing up of phlegm. After 5 days (giving his immune system the maximum opportunity to try to respond to clear it by itself), I started him on daily injections of penicillin. He is responding well.
Update 2/25: He seems to have cleared it. I stopped the penicillin after 5 days.
Update 3/7/09: Duke is opening doors (copying Macey). It is spring - so all of the dogs are vying for rank in the pack - there is a marked increase in fighting among the male dogs, and also among the female dogs - this despite the fact that many are spayed and neutered. I separate them more, am more careful about putting them in situations where rank is an issue (space or food). The cows are calving right now, and the dogs went after an isolated calf (at my direction, after I mistakenly told them to herd the calf). I managed to save the calf, but Duke (the strongest of the pack) needs a home where when he is out, he is watched or trained (he absolutely LOVES the human-dog training interaction) - perhaps not suitable as a farm dog.
Update 5/7: day of prayer - spent at the national mall walking the dogs. The 3 remaining ones, Duke, Macey, and Pete were more interested in the squirrels and the ducks, but really need a lot of practice with leash walking - starting out individually would be easier. Duke does the best on leash of the 3, but has what I believe are flashbacks during the walk - related to cars. He will come to a complete halt, and turn around as if scared to death that a car will hit him (or if it is night, and he is on the side of the road, he drops to a down position looking back as the car passes). It takes a lot of coaxing him, and dropping the leash, to get him to move forward.
