I just watched Queen Mary 2 pass by the island. She is one big ship! 345m/1132ft long looks almost impossible in our narrow little fjord.

Bingo !

We have a wiener ... well, it's almost a bacon reference.


Pokes ... my best friend back in Tulsa has his oldest daughter mowing into an OSU dorm this week ... he got some ribbing on FB.

You know, as the old saying goes ... " Friends don't let friends become Cowboys! "

lawbreakers

Boomers is the name given to settlers in the Southern United States who attempted to enter the Unassigned Lands in what is now the state of Oklahoma in 1879, prior to President Grover Cleveland opening them to settlement by signing the Indian Appropriations Act of 1889 on March 2, 1889.

Two houses down is a dog loving neighbor, Kelsey would often head down there because he would give treats before bringing her back home.
