@C James According to Wikipedia, the Fantome was commissioned by the Duke of Westminster, not the Duke of Windsor. That could have been an oversight, or maybe auto-incorrect struck again.

Is that Dylan Kingwell on the cover?

If anyone wants to hear a Kookaburra call: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqSkYMmyUWU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqdRQxgtZtI The first video shows the range of sounds that the birds can produce. The second exemplifies just how loud their voices can be. I don't fancy having one---or a flock---waking me up in the morning. These birds are the largest member of the Kingfisher family. In the wild, they dive into lakes and streams, using their beak to spear fish.

OMG, this little guy is hilarious! @MrM I can totally relate to that. I was in love with Miharu and Yoite for the longest time, because they were "ambiguously gay".

Hey, Drewpop. What's even the point of buying that artificial lemonade stuff? You have water coming from a tap, most people already have sugar (or agave sweetener) in the pantry, and lemons aren't that expensive. Even the pre-bottled lemon juice is still better than that disgusting powder.

We're doing well, thanks for asking. Oh, and before I forget...Morgan, Mickey and I will be going down to Saugatuck in two weeks for a vacation. We meant to go to South Bass Island, Lake Erie last summer, but those plans were cancelled after Mickey sustained that concussion. We might bring Remy, and possibly even Rory, with us.

Hey, Xander, Dennis, Jordan, and Ash!

A man goes on a tour of Pamplona, and even watches a matador fighting a bull with a spear. Later, his guide takes him to a restaurant, where he catches a whiff of a mouthwatering aroma. "What is that?!" He exclaims, seeing a large pair of organs in a sizzling pan being served at the next table. The manager of the restaurant, overhearing this, replies, "Pan-fried bull testicles." The tourist says, "I'll have what that man is having!" The manager responds, "We'd be happy to prepare some for you, but they need to be ordered a week in advance." So the man makes an order, enjoys his meal, and then leaves. A week later, he returns, and enjoys the delicious dish. The manager approaches him and asks, "How did you like your meal?" The tourist replies, "It was fantastic! But the organs were a lot smaller than I remember." The manager looks at him sideways and responds, "Sometimes the bull wins."

Afternoon, Dugh and Thistle. *scratches for the wee pup* Hey, Marty! Hey, Val. We had pancakes for breakfast, with scrambled eggs, Canadian bacon, and fruit salad. Hey, Bertie.

Hehehe, he has the cutest little voice!

Hey, Cutie Pi! What about the kids? Did they get washed, too? 😀

Hey, Xander, Dennis, Jordan, and Ash! *waves to the foster kids* How is everyone?

Yup. It's actually not one long wall, but a number of older walls that were joined together in a chain.

Hey, Bertie.

Hey, Nick. Some people look better when they're smooth.

Sorry, Albert, but no. It's just a placeholder that I'm seeing.

Morgan, Mickey and I are just fine. Not sure about Remy or Rory. Haven't heard from either of them in about a week. Might see them tomorrow, though.

Hey, Xander, Dennis, Jordan, and Ash! *waves to the foster kids*

Save them for the next visit. Your relatives can visit you and celebrate her recovery once she's healed. Yeah, things are great here.

Watching "Secondhand Lions" right now. That airheaded woman is a mother in name only. Haley Joel Osment is a good actor, though.

Hey, Froggy.

Hey, Bertie. Hey, Marty. Hey, Caz!

Sorry to see you go, but I hope you'll come back soon.

Don't tell Val. She'll demolish the leftover cheesecake.

We'd miss you too much, Bob.
