Stretch had his face buried in the fleece keeping a close eye on me in case I was going to waterboard him. He seems to know which days are non-waterboarding days, hence his ears are up and he has smiley eyes. Puck must of really hung one on last night after we went to bed, since he looked really beat at sunrise this morning. After I dropped Laurie off, a cyclist ahead of me at the light impressed me with her short shorts. It was not her sex appeal that impressed me, far from it — what impressed me was the temperature was somewhere around freezing. So much skin on a bike in the cold made my knees hurt just thinking about it.
Off Center & Not Even 
What a cute picture of Stretch that is. It’s good that Puck had the whole day to recover. The cyclist, well, she must be very determined to get where she needed to be in that cold weather.
Nice trilogy of shots and observations – love the silloette of the Christmas Cactus in the window…
-I remember riding a bike in the US very well. Again in Cleveland 🙂 A colleague gave me his bike on loan for the period I was in Cleveland. Well, starting at the Cleveland Clinic I tried to find a safe path next to the car traffic. Road constructions and road obstacles made it a very unpleasant ride and it seemed somehow like a suicidal event. So much for bike and Cleveland.
NOT 🙂
-What does waterboard mean ?
-What is the text on the poster on the image of Puck ?
Waterboarding is a type of torture the CIA used to get info from enemy combatants that was all the rage in the media aa few years ago; however, I use it to refer to when we give Stretch his 200 ML of sub-cue fluids every over day because of his renal failure. It is torture torture for poor Stretch, therefore I call it waterboarding.
The linen hanging in the window by Puck is from Africa. I believe the writing is the signature of the artist.
One of our staff is from Cleveland, and I think he would say that it is easier to cycle in Cleveland now than when you were there.
