Well, after that, we had several months of "fun" trying to get Jasper to go to the toilet outside, to not chew our books, to generally behave himself while in our company. Unsuccessfully, of course.
We went for long walks in the snow and ice. He would always tug on the lead, eager to run. Such was it, that that would become my everlasting impression of our time together.
Over those months we bonded, quite inextricably so.
I would awaken to an ever-growing heap of white fur and loving brown eyes - and an equally-adoring tongue on my cheek - every morning. I would leave for school to whines, and return home to a dog who was always euphoric to see me. It lifted my depression. It made everything alright, to gaze into those eyes. He yearned for freedom; as did I.
So the cycle would continue. Daily walks, to open spaces, parks. Arrive, off-lead and run. Run like you have never run before.
An hour might pass, during which I would haplessly attempt to call "Jasper! Jasper! Come here!", and he would, of course, never follow. He appeared at one with the dry air, and at first, the bleak winter sun, followed in time by the green warmth of spring and the long, carefree, wispy grass and the drawn-out evenings of the early summer.
Jasper was at his least content while held within the confines of the family home; in turn, his happiest moments came at the park, or down by the seafront at Hardway, or muddying himself at Monks Walk.
In the spring of 2010, he ran away for the first time. He jumped over our 3-foot high fence, from our garden into the alleyway it backed out onto, and bolted. I managed to apprehend him before he ran out into our road, but a trend was set.
Over the next few months, he did this three times. Each time he would be found and escorted back.
I think, now, he had an innate desire to be free.
Myself, my mother and sister went on holiday to Spain in July 2010; my father was left at home with Jasper.
Several days into our holiday, he sent us photos of Jasper at his favourite spot, and what has since become my own favourite spot, by the shore at Hardway, near the Explosion museum. He looked happy.
The following day we received an email. It said, rather simply, words to the effect of "Jasper has run away again. Have had to give him to RSPCA".
We took this in, we lived our holiday - I had an impending relationship to worry about, which was at the forefront of my mind - and we came back.
I have not seen Jasper since.
It is late July 2010. The balmy summer afternoon sun ambles its way through the patio door and into the living room. I am the only inhabitant of the house, for now. For the first time in a long time, there is total silence.
It is numbing.
So where my companion is now, I do not know. I will never know, probably. Most probably we will never set eyes upon one another again.
But I take invaluable solace in a mental image I keep to this day: I imagine the forest of Monks Walk; and the trees swaying calmly in the summer sun, gleaming and weaving its way through their branches and caressing the ground.
There is a path running through the wood.
Along the path runs a dog; white of fur and brown of eye, free of spirit and heart.
That dog knows no limit. He lives on in time, forever immortalised by the glint in his eyes of the sun, and the breeze whispering through the trees, and he listens to none who may call him back.
He runs, and he runs free forever more. Just as he always has, as shall he always.
To you, my beautiful friend Jasper; run, run, and run free. For ever more.
Along the path runs a dog. White of fur, and brown of eye; free. Free. Of spirit - and of heart.

FIRST OFF...I AM NOT MAKING FUN OF ANYONE... But as usual after a grueling day of selling in the heat at the Antique market Judy and I always have our list of complaints when we have to pack up such as how tired we are, how hot it is, sweaty etc… Well from this point on I will never again complain!!! After we were finished packing up Judy went ahead and left on her way home. I had to go the bathroom and I was so exhausted I decided to drive my truck over to the restrooms which by the way was only a 100 feet from where we were set up. And then I saw this couple packing up…God please forgive me but I was too tired to help out, however I did watch in my air-condition truck for over 10/15 minutes while sipping an Ice cold soda because I was simply fascinated with how she worked her cane to break down the tables and pull things around…oh and the man was excellent at bending over and picking up each filled box and rolling himself over the there van with his feet and then loading it into the van. I was totally impressed and mesmerized…
After I left I desperately felt the need to go to church and say the rosary one hundred times over for not helping. But then as I arrived home I slipped out of my dirty clothes and took a dip in the cool pool… my selfish thoughts & mentally screwed up mind returned to its normal setting… “It’s all about me”.
my art is going to change pretty soon into a very different one.
my interests for pictures have changed, that's why I like pictures of celebs outside best, for the moment.
Continuing playing with my new EOS M after work, but it turned into more of an editing experiment. Faking the funk hard on my face.

The new commercial center is built on an old military base and it is planned to continue to expand and build more buildings for enterprises and companies to come to Romilly. Over the next 10 years or so $6 million will be invested. Other improvements include a renovation of Romilly's train station to make it more modern.
Just across the street from the commercial center you can already see lampposts placed in the middle of the field. Obviously there will soon one day be buildings and roads and parking space to accompany these street lights.

Over the past two months, a steering committee from the Northwest PA Pride Alliance (NWPAPA) and the Greater Erie Alliance for Equality (GEAE) has organized and held two LGBT Roundtable discussions. The committee invited leaders from various LGBT organizations from Erie and the surrounding counties.
The project is off to a great start with 26 different people attending one of the first Roundtables with representation from about 15 different groups!
These first Roundtable discussions had two different purposes. One was to begin a multi-phased needs assessment for the greater Erie LGBT community conducted through the Edinboro University Social Work Department. The second purpose was to unite the various organizations serving different members of our LGBT community in order to provide a platform for communication and collaboration.
It is the intention of the steering committee that future Roundtable discussions will be held periodically in order to continue to provide this forum of collaboration for the benefit of our community.
If you are interested in hearing about future LGBT Roundtable discussions, ir if you are interested in participating in future phases of the needs assessment, please contact Will Koehler at 732-1973 or wkoehler@edinboro.edu.

Greater Manchester Officers are continuing to crack down on crime in Piccadilly Gardens, securing dozens of arrests and working with partners to reduce anti-social behaviour and drug use.
In their latest day of action, which was conducted on Wednesday 21 May, eight people were arrested as officers tackled issues that have been raised to them.
This included five arrests and charges for begging, in addition to those for public order offences, and being concerned in the supply of drugs.
More widely, the city centre neighbourhood team has continued to arrest those suspected of criminality whenever they can: 93 people have been arrested for a variety of offences in the area since the beginning of March. In that same period, 384 people have been stop-searched.
The positive work follows on from Operation Vulcan’s stint in the area, which has built strong foundations for the local neighbourhood team to act on.
While the area provides a unique challenge to officers, work with partners and local charities is ensuring that the appropriate actions are taken at the right time.
This includes engagement, support, and enforcement for those who commit crime. This approach sees vulnerable people signposted to the charities and services that can help them in their situation.
Wednesday saw much of this engagement work completed in conjunction with partners, who attended from a wide range of teams and bodies. This included representatives from the local council, immigration officials, charities, and a mobile paramedic.
Work will continue in the Piccadilly Gardens area, with a dedicated team overseeing its policing, backed up by response and specialist units where necessary.
Superintendent Nicola Williams, from the city centre team, said: “We are aware of the challenges that Piccadilly Gardens can present and through a comprehensive strategy of work with partners, we will continue tackling these issues as we build on strong foundations laid by the Operation Vulcan team.
“We have already seen so many arrests, charges, drugs seized, and more as we continue to take action in the area, ensuring criminals know that they simply cannot operate here.
“While we will continue with our enforcement work, liaising with partners where appropriate is a key part of our approach to Piccadilly Gardens – a joint-approach, measured, and with the right resources at the right time.
“If you are a resident, work in or near to the area, or pass through please do get in touch with the local team with any issues you may have. This could be via our local Coffee with a Cop meetings, the Piccadilly Ward PACT meeting or just chatting to an officer on the beat. All your information assists in our work.”
You should call 101, the national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.
Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life.
You can also call anonymously with information about crime to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity who will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.
You can access many of our services online at www.gmp.police.uk
So I have a bit of an informal tradition of testing new gear out on my pets. The new gear used here is the 85mm 1.8.
Also, it was about time I took some more shots of Tsura now that she's 3 1/2 months old.

The last 2 times (over a couple of months) that I went by Clarendon Falls there was no water whatsoever going over the falls. At those times, falls nearby had plenty of water. Within 24 hours this area has had 1.5 inches of water. The ground walking down to the falls was soaked! There was a little water here, but nowhere near as much as could be expected. I can't figure it out! Someone the creek must have been partially diverted.
Maybe next time I will ask the people in the gas station just up the road what the deal is here.
