Anyone watch the whole debate last night?  I listened all day to the analysis on CNN and Fox News (I like to hear what the elephant-guys are thinking) — and then I fell asleep one minute in,  right after Mitt wished Barrack and the Mrs. a happy anniversary!  Damn!  I do enjoy my sleep:  I probably…

It’s a good thing we’re almost back in CT, because I’m just about at the end of my leash.  I think by now most of you have recognized my Roof Rack Reports as an attempt to establish my independence, and to distance my astute political commentary from Beagle Man’s numbskull ramblings about sports, m…
So there’s this item about Nikka the Drug-Sniffing Dog in the Huff Post “Weird News” section on Wednesday.  I didn’t see it until a couple of days later, because Beagle Man was hogging the laptop.  Turns out this Nikka lives in Vaughn, New Mexico.  We passed through Vaughn on Wednesday — probably j…

We’re heading back east!  I get to see Luz in less than a week!  Although, honestly, they didn’t treat me too shabby in the Loews Santa Monica.  Everybody made a huge fuss over me — even though I made them shampoo the rug in our room at least once a day.  Wear a purple bandage on your paw, and you…
LA/XC-2 DAYS SIXTEEN, SEVENTEEN, AND EIGHTEEN:  SANTA MONICA, L.A., SAN DIEGO Let me set the stage for you.  It’s 45 minutes before kick-off . . . Falcons vs. Chargers . . . on a sunny, super-hot Sunday in San Diego’s Qualcomm Stadium.  We’re enjoying all sorts of access to the Falcons via ou…
LA/XC-2 DAYS FOURTEEN AND FIFTEEN:  LAGUNA BEACH; SANTA MONICA;  LOS ANGELES The first time we stayed in Santa Monica back in the spring of 2010, when Robby was in town for his first look at USC, I pegged Big Dean’s “Muscle In” Cafe as my perfect “home” beachside bar and hangout.  Right on the San…
I was thinking yesterday in the vet’s office (oh, and btw:  Nice job with that revolving door, B-Man) that I’m really glad we were able to pay the vet the $119 we owed, and that we also pay our taxes.  No way I’d want to be part of that 47% who don’t pay income tax and who feel they’re entitled to…
