Airy Intoxicants



 The problem with these parts, hereabouts, is that everyone looks homeless.

Cascadia Spring Fashions (through July)
Nevertheless, as if it mattered, i went to get a haircut. There are lots of barbers around here and i am well on my way to trying every one.  This time, "3-4 on sides and full on top" got interpreted as "brush top crew".  Does "full" sound like "brush" to you?  In any event, i now look like a brown-haired Tintin.  Hey... life could be worse.

Life could not be better for Nicki.  It was blustery today and when we got to Bay Park, the atmospherics were too much and Nicki started running around wildly.  When we got to the railway trestle along the water, i stopped to take a picture.  While I was angling this way and that, Nicki took flight.  Next thing I knew he was trotting above along the train tracks.  

Ohmygawd....  Nickiiiiiii!!!  Although i wasn't hearing any whistles, a train does come in the afternoon. I quickly snapped a picture with the AE1 (film) and then focused on getting him down.  He's pretty responsive and within moments -- without falling through anything -- he came scampering down the embankment before rushing off toward the water where he thrust nose seaward.



Imagine you had a long nose, the inside of which was as sensitive as some other parts of your body.  Imagine what it must feel like to have the air and a hundred overlaying smells rushing through your sensory canals into your brain.  I guess we'll never really know.
