New neighbors
Tami & Chris are moving to Alameda. Since today is moving day we got to dogsit with Koa. I’ve learned a few thing about Koa: The first thing we did was to let her outside in the backyard. That was a mistake. She immediately pursued the ducks right into the lagoon and refused to come …
Maverick
Had to travel to Reno and there are a limited number of flights, so I decided to drive. I stopped over to see Jimi & Amy… okay I wanted to meet Maverick. Oh Jimi made an outstanding 4 course dinner, whatever. Maverick! They also have 3 fat kats. It’ll take 4 washings to get rid …

Sleepless in Redding
Got stuck in Redding, nothing to do… went to the Sundial Bridge at night. On the drive back I stopped to photograph some Pronghorn thingies. I wished I had my big cam. No compact camera I’ve ever had does well at that end of the optical range.
Musky
Oh no, what did we start? He comes to beg for food everyday… BTW Sandy has renamed him. It’s a cross between the actor & that famous duck. We now crown him Ben Aflac.
