Today was the first sunny weekend day since I got back to town in mid-September that I haven't been busy, so I finally got to go for a stroll through the park to see all my old friends (and photograph a few of them).
I don't normally take too hard a look at the loo, but this was one of the most visually interesting bathroom installations I've ever seen. Found inside a pub in the middle of nowhere, Cumbria, UK.

How much is that artist in the window?
The one with the waggly tail
How much is that artist in the window?
I do hope that artist's for sale…
"The unsympathetic indifference of previously amiable females, the contempt of muscular males, the acceptance of fragments of bread, the simulated ignorance of casual acquaintances, the latration of illegitimate unlicensed vagabond dogs, the infantile discharge of decomposed vegetable missiles, worth little or nothing, nothing or less than nothing."
'Ulysses', Chapter 17: 'Ithaca', P.678 (the 1922 Text), James Joyce.
Seven: Your work has the air of liberation, the coming together of skills, intent and humour - very Joycean in fact. My last full acquaintance with Ulysses was a whirlwind of emotions, switchbacks, puns, jokes and insights of great acuity. It sits partly opened in my memory as one of those gateways to an expanded universe along with a couple of hundred others, which I have just managed to resist embarking upon..
Ruin: Then there's 'Finnegans Wake', he lets go from the get go, from the starting point. He beautifully allowed that spirochete to speak as it blinded him, utterly astonishing.
This is my grandson’s dog. He was homeless after a hurricane hit the Philippines two years ago and hundreds of homeless dogs were shipped to the US. He is a mutt and was a puppy when my grandson got him.
The dog lives in the Fraternity House at the University of Virginia with fourteen other boys. His official name is ‘Aries’ and (being part pit bull) he certainly has ramming capability. If you face him and call him he will run into you at full speed and ram you. My grandson rough houses with him like that. I barely kept my feet the first time. And now back to the story.
Almost every fraternity brother has a different name for him, so he answers to ‘Little Boy’, ‘Bongo’, ‘Binky’ ‘Big Bully,’ and several others. He stayed on with my daughter after my grandson left the other day.
I gave him a ride in the Kawasaki Mule the other day to see how he would like it. I created a Mule Monster. Whenever my daughter lets him out, if I am outside, he goes and sits in the Mule. “Come on, lets go for a walk!” just illicits one of those ‘cocked head’ stares. He has already figured out it is better to ride than to run beside the Mule. He won’t get out unless I get out, or he is afraid he will miss a ride. He just sits up on the seat as big as you please.
The Sorority House next door to the Frat house was broken into over Easter Break. My grandson and one other Frat brother and Aries were upstairs in bed. All of a sudden Aries let out some loud barks and barreled down the stairs. Sure enough a window was broken and two guys had gotten in. They made a quick retreat when they saw and heard the dog coming down the steps. So, he does earn his keep.
I will miss him when he leaves later today.
Seen outside a local pet supply store in Hampton, New Hampshire. I just couldn't resist taking a picture of it!

Bellita on the left, is an adult Chihuahua/terrier mix. Penny, on the right, is a 5 month old yorkiepoo puppy. I'm watching these two plus their brother, Bailey, a shih tzu, for 2 weeks.
Penny and Bellita loved me from the get go. They are so adorable and very loving. Bailey on the other hand was scared to death in the beginning. It took me four days to break his fear but now he's as happy as the other two when I walk in the door. In fact, they start barking as soon as I pull in the driveway. They've learned the sound of my car even though I try to sneak up on them by pulling in quietly.
I caught this pic early on before Bailey would pose. I'm hoping to get all three in a shot over the next few days. We'll see...
Pelicans are some of the most comical, entertaining birds around. So glad I get to observe them every winter.

Celebrated my Grandparents 60th Wedding Anniversary - I'm exhausted!
Try catch you all tomorrow!
OK, this is the last I'll post (at least for a while) of the barns around Bristol. Below are the 2 shown up close.
