Locally, as opposed to internationally, some good stuff has happened since I last graced the internets, featuring among others:
Item 1! Eddy from Pittsburgh contacting me and then burning and mailing at his own expense a CD of the entire bootleg 12/31/80 Kinks concert at the Palladium in NYC, featuring among other wonders the Kinks cover of the Everly Brothers' “Johnny Was a Bird Dog”;
Item 2! Internet friend Steve Simels, the finest rock critic I've virtually known, sending me a (truly) fine hot-off-the-press power pop pop-pop Album-They-Never-Made compilation CD of music that he and his friends made 40 years ago as The Floor Models;
Item 3! Ms. Who showing me the way to finish our driveway repairs so that Casa Who is now accessible to any peace & love type who might want to drop by;
and all this kind of thing, but at the moment, I must note that
Item 4! while I am so grateful to have several great friends, only one of them eats 3 bowls of kibble a day and has courageously deterred an actual imminent mugging of yours truly. That would be my good friend and companion Rusko the Wonder Dog, a stray who Ms. Who rescued when he was a malnourished pup with the help of the good people at our city's animal control.
Now Rusko's a strong 9 month old and a joy to spend the whole day hiking with.

Aaaaaawwwww. : )
Nice pix - you'll have to tell me more about the attempted assault over eggnog (or beverage of your choice) in good ol' MN around the holidays...
That's my favourite pet dog/wolf/companion around.
harder to feed than a 9mm, but oh-so-much-less controversial. . . .
and since when did a pistol lick yer face and make puppy eyes at ya?
thingy, 'tis true: this dog gets me all sen-ti-men-TAL -- & I just caint hep it. He's a good dog.
Charlie, will do, although I should clarify that the attempted strong arm robbery was not over eggnog
:-)
Mr. Mule, aye, Rusko most truly did earn his keep and prove his value in the self-protection racket, though to be honest I can't say there wouldn't still be times when a 9 mm would be more effective than even a great dog.
