Bugsy, by my side laying on my business papers. This is how he always was - a little sausage without a tail. "My little sausage" I sometimes called him - I had lots of affectionate little names for him. Bugsy was with me everywhere whenever I was home. He was my little buddy. It leaves a huge whole without him. I look at his lovely little pictures and I wonder why?

While I hate the heat, I do wonder what people do without BBQ...

skotjay: @samnason I'm far too lazy to use it, though

samnason: Shame, it does a body good. "It's a cure for hepatitis, it's a cure for chronic insomnia, it's a cure for tonsillitis, and for water on the knee...whatever your ailment or disease, for Christ's sake, have a cuppa tea!" -The Kinks

skotjay: @samnason Does coffee count?

samnason: Hmmm...I don't know any coffee songs...but yes, it definitely counts. It counts even more if you make it in a percolater

samnason: It also counts if you can spell percolator.

skotjay: I grind it fresh and use a French press, and drink it black. I mean, laziness doesn't count when it comes to coffee. I'm not a savage I do like it brewed in a percolator. I've just always used a press. We don't even own a coffee machine.

Thought it would be fun to bring back a photo of Silly Dilly that I took one year ago when he was about six and a half months old. :) Since I am home sick I'm playing a lot on flickr........wasn't he a cute puppy?????

This is the photo I put in the 2005 Flat Coat Directory. :)

Farm buildings at Estancia Harberton, an isolated settlement in the wilds of TIerra del Fuego, in the far south of Argentina. The estancia was settled by a British immigrant in the 19th century, and now continues as a working farm and museum.
