Big Crowd at No King’s Rally in Ferndale Mi.

No King’s- Ferndale Mi

You could not get me to live in a skyscraper. The views might be great, but I still remember The Towering Inferno….
Those 70’s disaster movies have a lot to answer for.

I think “respected as never before“ maybe true, just not the way he thinks.

What’s up with the Scottish rugby team… 50 points against the mighty French for the win.
Edinburgh will be rocking tonight. I think this requires a wee celebratory dram… or two.

Curling: in with a shout at the end, but no winning cigar for Team GB.
Some great shots by Canada to claim victory. Congrats to all my Canadian buddies.

Well that was an “interesting” game in Cardiff.
It looked like Scotland was going to bottle it after last weeks epic.
But well done to the team for sticking it out the the end to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
Now for the curling.

After last weeks nightmare in Rome….
What a performance at Murrayfield this afternoon.
Brings back memories of great post rugby nights out in the 80s and 90s. The King’s Wark in Leith was a great place to end the night.

Dog sitting on snowy steps…

It’s way too cold for me - single digits (F), so my buddy has to keep watch by myself. I’ll join him again in April or May when it’s a bit warmer….

Here’s me 8 years ago. Am I not super cute….

Here’s my buddy in his hiding spot…

On our back deck, keeping an eye on the neighborhood…

Brindle colored dog asleep on couch.

It’s hot and I’m tired.

Tow dogs standing. The smaller one under the big one.

We are perfectly matched.
When needed, I fit underneath and we can watch out for critters.

There’s something going on outside…

Very disappointed…

Hi… hope you have a great weekend.

Late night rodent patrol…. Target has gotten into the downspout…

It’s night.
That means it’s time for a rat patrol. Haven’t seen one recently, but if I do, I’ll get it.

Sorry about sitting on you…
I don’t like travelling…
I get nervous…

Wow… the same vib.
From classic to blah.

Oh dear, the new Jaguar logo and font….
I love Jag, what were they thinking…it must be a mistake.

I don’t do cold well. My buddies like the snow, I like the hot air vent…

Two of three…

Dog on a chair.

Greetings, can I interest you in a tomato plant?

Tired dog on couch.

It was a long day… I need a rest.

Dog looks annoyed at buddy borrowing his bed…

Ok, so I’ve borrowed his bed. I’ll get off in a minute… it is comfortable though.

2 dogs on a step.

Here’s my other buddy. Not a glamorous pic, but we are on squirrel patrol.

Me and my buddy…

Ian Rankin, great detective stories set in and around Edinburgh.
Ian also has some pretty cool photographs of the place he visits.
