Little dog charges onto Tamar, ready to barking, ready to take off my leg

I got mixed up on that last photo. I was still on Brockton Street. But pretty soon I would go around the bend and be on Tamar where I am right now. This little dog just came running out from the trees, right at me. I am pretty terrified… I might lose a leg!

Cigarette butt on Tamar Road: about to be paved over?

I am walking down Tamar Road, which by all appearances is about to be paved. When we first moved out here over 30 years ago, pavement was pretty hard to find. Even the busy thoroughfares, like Lucille St., Seldon Road, Church Road… All dirt and gravel. Now, dirt and gravel are getting harder and harder to find – except in front of our house. This cigarette butt… Will it soon be entombed under pavement?

The Daily School Bus: from another day, another week

The Daily School Bus: it's Sunday. It should surprise no one to learn that I have not seen a school bus today. This is from the week before last. I have so damn many school bus pictures I will never even begin to post them all.

The Squarespace nightmare continues.

I prepared cones for both of us; I finished mine first

With the boys gone the house is quiet - very quiet. "Want an ice cream cone?" I asked Margie. "Sure," she answered. I made a small cone for her and another for me. We sat down on the couch to eat our cones and watch a movie. I finished mine, then leaned my head against her shoulder. She had almost finished hers, but not quite.

And now they are gone… but they will be back
