When Mrs. B first brought up the idea of a visit to the Chapel Hill cousins, Beagle Man said, “Why don’t we drive down and take Ricky?” Okay, I’ll give him that. But he caved pretty easily. When she said it would make more sense to drive to Philly, pick up Nana, and then fly to Raleigh-Durham . . . boom! He was right on board. So I missed out on
another great trip. What else is new? Adding insult to injury, I happen to know that the B-Man cozied up to Bingo, the cousins’ Chihuahua-terrier mix. (Doesn’t he look a little bit like a squirrel?) Bingo not only rode shotgun with B-Man; he actually sat on his lap while they drove together. This is clearly something we’ll be talking about. I could tell Beagle Man felt guilty. He started telling me about how we’ll stop in Chapel Hill on LA/XC-3 in September and meet Bingo — and Roxie, the cousins’ other dog. Yeah, we’ll see about that . . .
The Roof Rack Report (#roofrackreport on Twitter, for those who follow me already on @BeagleManHank) appears on Mondays, usually. It’s about politics, travel, food . . . important stuff like that.
