A Year Ago Today
I was going to say something about Freda's passing which took place on this day November last but I think I'll just post what Suzy had to bark earlier today.
Today is the one year anniversarys of Freda's crossing the Rainbow Bridge. I always wonders why I adopted the peeps I did. I may have found a clue.
Me
Freda
sD likes to drinks black and tans and after looking at the above photos, maybe it was fates.
Freda had a long distant relationship with an Aussie named Charlie.
Charlie. Freda always barked him "Charles".
I hear that Charlie and Freda were quite an items. They were very close being so far aways from each other. They each even enjoyed smelling red hot pokers in their respective yards. Unfortunately, Charlie too crossed the bridge last August. It is nice to knows that they are now rompings together on the other sides of the Rainbow Bridge.
Everys day we walk to the same place where this film was shot. I can see why it was one of Freda's favorite places. I love it too.
I know there is a hole in sD's hearts but he tells me that I am doing a greats job of filling it. I think that is why he loves me so much and I loves him.

The Verizon Big Coal Alliance
Hope #Verizon customers are speaking out to their phone company about its environmental misdeeds >> http://tr.im/BGbt. This is an old story but has Verizon changed? This needs to be continually voiced until Verizon ceases their support of mountain top removal by the coal companies and their friends stop destorying mountains >> http://tr.im/CmMT.

NRDC: No More Mountaintop Removal

Arrow-headed Flatworm
An arrow-headed flatworm/planaria found by Suzy and I in a nearby park yesterday.
Spanish 25 escudos coin for scale.
It certainly is not as long as this one Freda and I found in the same park two years ago.
About ten inches in length.
An interesting animal.

Now for something completely different. This photo is the closest thing I have to a high school senior picture.
Check out the suit and tie. That's how one traveled in those days.
Our family moved to Kano, Nigeria the summer before my senior year. I completed my last year in high school through correspondence studies while living in Kano. It was a blast. I may have missed all the senior year activities but I would not trade it for the time I spent in Kano. What could be better than to spend a year in a totally foreign culture at such an impressionable age.
Given Nigeria was a former British colony, still with close ties to the mother country, and The Beatles were in the middle of their career, it was a teenager's paradise. We, there were six kids about the same age, would listen to "Pick of the Pops" on the Beeb (BBC) and get the latest news about music in England. Each week we would go into town and check out the latest British record releases at the Kingsway department store. At Christmas, the English kids came home from school in England and brought with them the brand new "Beatles For Sale" LP. Did I mention heaven?
The photo was taken on a Seine River cruise in Paris. I was on my way back to the States to attend university. I have the fondest memories of that year. One of the most wonderful years of my life.
