Cute little girl rings my bell. As I’m answering the bell I hear Rikki escaping his enclosure. If you are not familiar with the breed, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers and the Rotties of the retriever line. After a nitght of hunting the dog would guard the boat and gear while the hunter went to town to sell the night’s produce.

So Rikki thinks he needs to protect me. Understand this is happening too fast for thought. She screams. I grab ne collar. I put the dog down. BECAUSE I WILL NOT HAVE A DOG THAT IS A DANGER TO A CHILD.

Why her parents didn’t sue I still don’t know.

Hope you visited his statue.

Maybe some other time we can visit over the pony sized horses of the Camargue or Iceland or Ireland. Especially Iceland which won’t bounce you around.

The parades, processions, bugles playing, flags flying, drums beating;
A million people—manners free and superb—open voices—hospitality—the most courageous and friendly young men;
The free city! no slaves! no owners of slaves!
The beautiful city, the city of hurried and sparkling waters! the city of spires and masts!
The city nested in bays! my city!
The city of such women, I am mad to be with them! I will return after death to be with them!
The city of such young men, I swear I cannot live happy, without I often go talk, walk, eat, drink, sleep, with them!
